The can opener is provided with a retainer to maintain the can lid on the opener after the lid has been removed from the can. The retainer can be a fixed or moveable retainer. The can opener can be provided with a vertically or horizontally cutting can opener mechanism to enable the opener to function as a dual purpose opener.
