"When the weather turns cold, you want to make sure you've got everything you need at home as much as possible. Sure, we still have to go to work and go shopping, but on those really bad days when a winter storm is raging, if you can stay home, that's often the best thing to do. Part of being ready for days like that is making sure you are prepared if the situation goes from bad to worse."
"Battery powered and rechargeable can openers are a great convenience, and even an electric can opener that you plug into the wall can be really helpful. But without power, each of those has limited functionality. Sometimes a powerless gadget can be useful, and a manual can opener is small, easily stored, and can be used at any time. If a storm has completely cut you off, something as simple as opening a can of soup can make a big difference."
During winter storms and power outages, having a manual can opener enables access to pantry food when electric and battery devices fail. Manual openers are small, easily stored, durable, and inexpensive, making them suitable emergency-kit items alongside matches, candles, and a camping stove. Battery-powered and electric can openers offer convenience but have limited functionality without power. Traditional manual models can be difficult for people with weak hands or arthritis. Ergonomic manual can openers designed for minimal effort provide a low-cost option that lasts for years and improves accessibility during prolonged outages.
