Your video saved me from buying another can opener! Thank you so much for teaching this 69 yr old lady she can still fix things!

Thank you so very much for your help with this. Your calm and complete instructions are just what I desperately needed. Thank you , Susan

Thank you! I was going to junk it but now it's working again you made four cats very happy Sir!

I have three of these can openers & They all worked OK at first but after a few operations they stopped working. I was going to throw in the bin but now I will have ago at adjusting first. Thanks mate

Thank you so much for posting this video! This fixed my issue with the Safety Can Express. My wife was ready to buy a new can opener. I grew up on a farm fixing whatever we could when possible.I was happy to fix our can opener with this simple fix. I'm very glad I found your video!

Thank you, sir. You saved my mom some money.

Appreciate the help. My can opener now works.

Instead of buying a New Opener, I will be going to my trusty work bench and attempt to repair. I was ready to toss it and thought I would check out KZfaq. Found You...Thank You so much!!!

Thank you! This worked for me! I appreciate you making this video.

Thank you for taking the time out of your day to show this video I'll pay you second visit once I fix mine appreciate it

Also with mine, the lower cutting wheel did not spin freely as it should, was stuck, with sticky soup. Had to clean and oil, then it worked! Your video really helped me to know to adjust the nut in the back of my Hamilton Beach 76606Z (well actually in this model they upgraded the nut to a finger adjusting nut, and then it locks with a regular nut). Thank you.

Thanks for the video! I knew there had to be a way to fix mine.

Thank you you explain so clearly. You did a great job . Now im going to go fix my can opener.

Ty ty ty searched high an low for any insight before tearing into it. Your Video instantly confirmed Which I suspected to be the cause an eliminated my need to further apply any thought or a second more of my time on the matter. Let alone a penny more to replace. Which if i had i most certainly would have done already. Thanks to being poor and yourself is no longer a possibility. Ty good Sir. A few moments of your time has helped and spared so many the most most valuable thing we have in this life an world TIme. I greatly appreciate your efforts Sir they do not go unrecognized. Ty ty ty

Thank you for the video. I was just gonna order a new one Amazon when your video came up in my search. You just saved me 30 something dollars. Thank you. I also just subscribed 👍👍

Great video! Worked great on a Hamilton Beach can opener. I’d recommend wearing some protective gloves as there is a ton of grease that gets all over your hands.

Can't wait to try it!

Awesom! Made the adjustment like you said to the opener works better than when I bought it. Thanks.

Best idea I've seen in fixing one product that about a year ago.

Great video, worked perfectly. The double hex nuts were the only difficult part but you explained it excellent. Keep posting.👌🏻

Good video! I just bought this can opener (Hamilton Beach; they're the same opener). Whenever it needs this adjustment I can refer to your tutorial! Thanks! -- Old Matt

Thank you. I was about to go buy a new opener when I decided to look up repairing a opener. I have the Hamilton Beach Smooth Touch opener. It did not have a jam nut on it, All I had to do was use a pair of pliers to prevent the whole thing from spinning and just tighten the nut to make the gear get closer. It look like some of the teeth were worn on mind. I guest it will last a little longer before the teeth are worn smooth.

Well, you certainly provided excellent detail, enough for me to give it a try. I was lucky enough to find an 8mm wrench in my stash. I elected to stabilize the shaft movement by holding unto the large gear wheel with a heavy pair of gloves instead of using a needle nose or stripping wrench on the bottom nut. No cans need opening today, but I'm feeling optimistic. 😃

worked like a charm, thanks for the video.

Hamilton Beach safety can opener is almost identical. Adjusted it twice now - looking for the sweet spot between where the cutting wheel is too far from the can rim to make a cut and so close that it also crushes it and produces gobs of metal shavings. Thanks!

Thanks for the video, mine cuts like new now.

We tried this fix. I was sooo encouraged reading the comments. But alas it did not work. It now starts and moves a bit and appears to work immediately slows down then totally stops. Sad…

Fantastic! Take a bonus out of petty cash. Worked perfectly! Only had a little difficulty getting those nuts to move because of not having wrenches quite the right size or thickness. This job would take about 10 minutes (tops), if you have a set 8 millimeter wrenches that are thin enough to get a good grip on those two nuts.

Thanks - ours is doing the same thing - I’ll try this.

Hopefully, this will fix mine. Thank you!

Thank you! I'm on my third Safety Can in 2 years. I love how it works, but I'm not buying another one. They need to be made better. 😒

Great Info.

my unit the bottom wheel was sticking , I took apart the unit then disassembled the driving gears etc , yes both are threaded an unscrew ,then had to remove switch assy , to gain access to the bottom wheel , what a pain to get back in but got it cleaned , greased, then finally got it reassembled , I opened a vianna sauge aok , waiting to see if other issues

Excellent... however, video moves too much to actually see the gap the way it should be.

Thanks good instructions

Good job

I tired had to go back in an make several adjustments and still no luck it didn't work. So I threw it in the trash

Thanks

Thx

Watching this stressed me out!
