We use nothing but manual can openers. Just not worth the shelf space to have an electric. We mainly use the kind that breaks down the edges instead of the ones that actually cut the top. I thought it was retarded when my wife brought the first one home, but fuck, it does work and the lids aren't as dangerous.
Side can openers are vastly superior to cuck can openers. Plus the holes in the twisting nob were so you could put something for extra leverage, the makers of top can openers assume their buyers are too weak to twist the knob and are probably right.

I was having a GIANT brain fart and could not remember what they were called. Your pic is exactly what I have (but not on a keyring). I 100% believe in no frills keyrings, I have the house key and the truck fob and that's it.
Always have knives on your key rings as a back up for if you forget your shoe knife, belt knife, wallet knife or pocket knife.

you know you are getting old, when you type out post about can opener from 30 years ago.

long ago, worked a few places that had them. one day health inspector came in, opened a can at each of the 3 in the kitchen. put the can and contents in a bag, then into a box. asked the chief what the guy was doing, he said they were measuring the amount of metal that got into the food. the chief was from Italy and English was like he 4th language. he would sometimes get his words wrong and i said something like, you mean if there is metal in it? he said no, there is almost always some metal in the food, just has to be under a certain amount.

still those can openers kicked ass, the thunk they make in always fun.

get an electric deadbolt and a tesla and you won't even have to carry a keyring

Maybe if you are poor and can only afford a Model 3 or Y, but us X and S chads get to use toy car FOBs.

/I kid, I think the new higher end models also use those credit card things and phones as well. I'm the poor with a 2020 and 2017 S

where the turning handle had holes and when you used it, you'd get the hole imprint on your fingers, what the hell was purpose of those holes
So you could hang them up on a hook.
