## Description

This can opener will bring you back to the good old days when opening a can didn't require electricity. Its simple design makes this your one stop tool.

Dishwasher safe for an easy clean up.

Review: Well made and works great... but not a tool for the timid. - I bought this tool after watching a Youtube video by the "Crazy Russian Dad" showing how he used to open cans back in his old country. I purchased this tool for educational purposes to show my Scout how to use can openers of many different styles and configurations. One never knows where one will be on a trip, and what tools or utensils might be available. This tool is sharp, and easily punctures cans, but takes a bit of learning for those used to the more modern style of can opener. To me this one is appealing as there is a level of difficulty and danger inherent in its operation. It also takes a bit of manual dexterity. It is not a tool for the careless or clumsy. I also like that it also functions a a cork screw, is inexpensive, and is made of stainless steel. It is VERY easy to keep clean. Plus there are no moving parts, simplicity at its best.
Review: Old School Rules - I'm glad they still make this old school opener. It's much easier to operate and works better than the new styles that are currently manufactured !

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How to use the opener to open a can?**
A: You put the sharp into a can and then use your wrist to work the opener back and forth to open the can .. works  like a charm from when we didn't have electric .  I love it.

**Q: How to use it**
A: You push the sharp metal piece into the can next to the lip and then close the can opener so it snaps onto lip of can. Then turn it clockwise.

**Q: Is this can opener stainless steel?**
A: No.  It has the magnetic properties of low carbon steel.  It is chrome plated.

**Q: can someone please explain what the tapper is and does?**
A: You can use it on a can of juice or a can of milk or other liquid when you don't want to empty the can. There are 3 parts to the tapper - the punch, the hole, and the lever. Place the little hooks of the lever under the rim of the can with the punch on the top of the can. Keep tension on the lever while pushing the punch into the lid. Only a dribble will come out of the V-shaped hole. So you have to punch another hole to let air in.  Don't push that one in as far, just about half way - enough for air. It takes practice to get the tension and the punch together. Millions of these have been used. Good luck.
