My wife doesnt like how much noise it makes and says its messy and violent and dangerous to open anything with a gun. We are eating a lot more soup now though.
those are great when you need to pack light, but holy shit it’s a pain in the ass to open a can with those things. feels like it’s going to rip my goddamn fingers off
Agreed. Simple, cheap, reliable, and faster than struggling with that piece of shit opener that barely works and you should have thrown away years ago.
If I were running a soup kitchen, I’d have a different preference, but reliable lever openers like the P38, P51, or even the opener on a leatherman serves my needs better than any of these POS twist-style openers.
Ohh is that the proper name for them, found it on eBay very cheap. Ages ago I was annoyed at tin openers but tried one that should stab through the lid and then lever through. It broke within a day or two, it was rivited together and they failed.
Think I might just buy some, also a more practical size for taking out and cooking over a stove.
Maybe I’m just stupid but I have a helluva time opening cans
I just use a knife. My wife got a fancy electric can opened a few years back and loves it but I can’t stand the thing.
Get a P38.
It works.
