10 Pack Survival Kit Can Opener, Military, P-51 Model

Using these can openers to open cans takes a little skill. You have to learn how to do it, but once you get the hang of it, they're easy to use. Sure, not as easy as a big bulky can opener (though easier than some of those I've used). But certainly a lot easier than opening a can with a knife, etc. Like the old saying goes, it really is all in the wrist.Using them to take out a flat head screw, or trim some fishing line, or cut some twine, etc. is also easy once you get the hang of it. There are a lot of ways to use these, when you think about it.The quality of these ones in particular was super high. I'm very impressed! The metal is thick so they won't bend, and stainless so they won't rust. The blade is plenty sharp to cut right through a tin can, and the hinge is strong keeping the blade where it belongs.And at the price, they're a terrific value! I put one on my keychain, one in my kitchen drawer, one in my tackle box, one in each glove box, and gave a few away to friends. Everyone loves them, and I didn't spend a dime more than just buying one decent standard can opener. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Works great. Haven't had a problem with any of them.

I have kept on my keychain and carried a P-51 Model can opener for over fifty years. I bought these ten to replace my lost one and to give as gifts. It works as an emergency screwdriver, as a little tool to pry things apart, and certainly as as can opener. In fact, years ago I used it to open a five-pound coffee can, saving amazed colleagues from a caffeine-free morning. What is more, no-one believed I could use this little gizmo to open such a big coffee can, so after doing so rather quickly, I strutted around all day, my tiny ego inflated enormously.

This is an amazing tool !!! I was introduced to the U. S Army P38 smaller can opener. So small and lightweight, & chews cans up. This larger model is much easier, on older hands with arthritis, still a chore , but always reliable, & handy, if you keep one on your key chain. Other modern two handed can openers tend to wear out, & leave sharp thin threads of steel hanging about the top of the can of food you are about two swallow. Not a good thought! I have decided to buy another pack , for just because gifts. Everyone should have this tool on their key chain.

If you know what this kind of opener is and how to use it, there is nothing else to say - they work perfectly and do not take up any space. I keep one in any travel bag just in case.

Most manual crank style ones are junk and quit working in a short time, while these are simple and get the job done. These can be used in the kitchen every day and with this set you can distribute them to wallet, car glove box, camping kit, etc, so one is always available.

I used them in the Military and in civilian life, for camping or whenever you need a can opener in an emergency.

My Navy dad had one of these on his car keys and I had no idea what it was growing up. Now that I know what it is, I have it on my keys, in the glove box, in my purse, EDC bag, pew pew bag… it’s so inexpensive for a little bit of self reliance and knowing that I’m able to at least open a can of food if it ever came down to it.Very well made. Blade is sharp.
