It's a can opener, as the name suggests. (P-) is the smaller of the two. 38), for example, has been in use since at least WWII, if not longer. Swing it open and hook the notch under the can's lip, twisting as you pull it slightly towards you. It really works!
Steel is used in their construction.

If I were in a post-disaster bunker and had to choose between this and one of those fancy circular spinning ones that Walmart sells, I'd choose this one over the Walmart piece of **** because it would never break. br>However, for ease of use around the house, I'd rather have the stupid **** Walmart can opener, despite the fact that I'd only be able to rely on it for exactly 3 weeks before having to buy the next stupid **** Walmart can opener, as I have done my entire life.
Let me start by saying that I'm just a regular guy with no military experience, so when I bought these can openers, I was hoping to get a couple of good keychain tools for a few bucks - and I got exactly that. I figured it was a low-risk investment because there was no nostalgia involved. br>br>This purchase has exceeded my expectations. They're built like a tank, are nearly impossible to break, and are surprisingly simple to operate. I can only assume that other reviewers who complained about the ease of use had never used a tool before, because I'm not exactly a handyman and I was ripping through cans right away. You'll never forget how they work if you watch a YouTube video about them. br>br>The P- br>br>The P- br>br>The P- I've only had 51 on my keychain for a week, but I've already used it as a can opener, a flat head screwdriver, and a miniature pry bar. br>br>Can't beat the functionality for the price or the amount of space it takes up in your wallet.
These can openers have been around since the summer of 1942, and are frequently referred to as the Army's greatest invention. It's been a long time since I've used a can opener like this, and it seems to take a little more effort now than it did before, but this tiny piece of metal still gets the job done. I got these the other day and tried them out on a can of tuna. The P- The 38 (the smaller of the two and the one I'm used to) worked perfectly to open the can. Is it slower than an electric car or a standard two-door car? manual can-handled squeeze type can-handled squeeze type manual can-handled squeeze opener? Yes. However, if you're looking for a can opener that works, is small, and can be used for hiking, camping, fishing, or as an emergency bug-out bag, this is the tool for you. out- bag, or simply as a substitute for a bigger can- That's it for the opener.

So use it, keep it, and when you pull it out years from now, it might just bring a smile to your face as you recall all of the places it has taken you.
I decided to do some research after going through a few low-cost can openers. If it isn't broken, don't fix it, as the saying goes. I figured I'd give it a shot if it was good enough for our WWII Army boys. I learned how to use it in about 30 minutes. Youtube is a God-sent tool. please send it to this address It will take some effort. My first can took a long time to open. I was moving pretty quickly by the time I bought the second one, and even Mom was impressed, so I taught her. Don't be fooled by the low price; it's a simple device, but the satisfaction of opening a can for the first time is priceless if you put in a little effort. It's well worth the money.
These are can openers that will never let you down, and they are of such high quality that they will last for years. I honestly thought the prices for these openers were for some cheap knockoffs when I saw them. Every single one is a genuine American-made product. br>br>These are the same can openers that served in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. They're easy to operate, nearly indestructible, and beautifully designed. Yes, they are more difficult to use than a standard can opener, but if you need to open a can of food while hiking or traveling, these are unbeatable. While they are both extremely easy to use, it may take you a few tries to get the hang of them. Keep them in your wallet. br>br> It's nice to have these as backups in case your household can opener breaks down, which it will.
When I first heard of the P-word, I thought it was a joke. When I lived in the United States, I was 38 years old. ARMY. This is a "tiny but mighty" can opener that works by rocking and is small enough to be carried on a key chain. It is made up of two parts: a curved opener that cuts and a handle that is only big enough to hold with two fingers and thumb, the P-shaped opener. The 51 is a larger version of the 50, with the exception that it can accommodate three fingers and the thumb. These are as dependable as they come and take up so little space because the opener part folds over to lay flat on the handle, they're a must-have for camping or bug-out bags for survivalists. I've heard that it's not allowed on planes, so pack it in your checked luggage just in case. I was overjoyed to discover that this item was now available to the general public, and the price is unbeatable. There is no price gouging here, as you get one of each for less than $5. and are made in the United States of America to a high standard.
The metal appears to be thicker than the previous ones I bought. When opening or closing, it was a little stiff at first, but after opening and closing five times, it became more supple. 6 times, and it does not open by accident (which is a good thing). I can't say how long it will stay sharp in comparison to the others because I haven't used it long enough, but it feels sturdier, which is promising. All of the others I tried trapped dirt and broke/stopped working quickly, so these are the only ones I use to open cans. If you're going to use canned goods, make sure to use these. With this effective tool, opening cans requires very little effort.
If I wanted to take a can of soup or beans to camp with me, I could use this lightweight option to open cans. I put it to the test on a can at home, and it turned out to be surprisingly effective. It wasn't even that difficult; the can's and lid's edges get a lot more ragged than a "normal" can opener would, but it gets the job done quickly and easily. And, yes, I had a good time with it - I was opening a can of pumpkin puree with my stupid little can opener in order to bake with it. When my hobbies collide, it makes me laugh out loud.
