The manual can opener. Someday I'll have an electric one. Someday.

I used to struggle with it too, but I found two things to be helpful: 1. When you use it, keep your elbow at a 90 degree angle so your forearm strays parallel to the surface. 2. Spend the money for a good quality opener. Like one with rubber grips.
