Think about it. You must clamp the can opener onto the can (lever). After squeezing the can opener onto the can using LEVERAGE, two small metal discs WEDGE themselves into the can. Then finally by manually turning the can opener, you are utilizing a GEAR, WHEEL and AXLE system to open the can. Hope that helps.
