I was waiting for the sliced thumb and fingers as he squeezed the can and exposed the sharp lid edge, so be careful out there.

Ah, but the lid isn't sharp!! They are basically pressed and sealed on. You are just popping the seal. We have a electric and a manual lid that basically separate the lid from the can the same way. The manual one stays in the motorhome.
