Large, Heavy Duty,

I'm a big guy and I like big and heavy duty kitchen gadgets. These didn't disappoint in that regard.
The can opener appears well built. However, the drive wheel has very shallow teeth that slip on the can even though the sharp cutting wheel requires little drive effort to penetrate the metal can top. Squeezing the handles with a very firm grip mostly overcomes this problem with only a little residual slippage, but that eliminates the expected advantage of a large can opener with a lot of leverage.

I have to say I disagree with the other reviewer-sorry! I didn't buy this exact set as it appears here, I wish I had seen this before I bought all of the pieces individually! These are really nice, heavy, substantial pieces, and are so nice to use. I can't comment on the grater, I do not own it, but the rest are easy to use and clean, and are very comfortable in the hand to use. I am a believer that this set is worth every penny!!!

Grater Broke,

I bought this set and was very pleased until the grater just snapped at the handle. This implies that there is a support problem with the manufacturers design.
