The Hamilton Beach Walk 'n Cut Can Opener 76500 is a compact device that literally fits in the palm of your hand and offers space saving convenience, portability, and practical efficiency. The rounded unit has an all-over white plastic finish and measures just 4 inches in diameter.

Centered on the front is the piercing lever with cutting blade, the metal can guide, and a hinged magnet to catch and hold the lid. To operate, simply grasp the back of the can opener, raise the piercing lever, position the cutting blade onto the rim of the can, and press the blade into the can. The tiny unit "walks" itself around any mid- to large-size can and automatically shuts off when the lid has been cut.

Short cans, such as tuna or pet food, and small-diameter cans may require you to hold the can while the opener works. The unit's smooth finish wipes easy clean, and the cutting assembly pops off for more thorough cleaning with a simple counterclockwise twist. When not in use, the unit sits on only 2 square inches of counter space or stows easily in a drawer.

Two rechargeable, recyclable nickel-cadmium batteries hold their charge through countless recharges, and are good for hours of use and multiple can openings. The recharging pack connects to the back of the can opener with a single pin post and plugs into any standard outlet. Replacement batteries are available separately.
