Oh yes. This was like the one we had when I was a kid. Its quite hard to use. In the TV programme 'Back in Time for Dinner, which I mentioned in another thread, when the family went back in time to the 50's, they couldn't figure out how to use it!

It can be quite dangerous if you are not careful!! It could slip of the can & puncture your hand!!
I'm not sure if they even make it any more!!

They're still made and coming back in popularity.It can be quite dangerous if you are not careful!! It could slip of the can & puncture your hand!!

Question,
When using it, do you pierce the lid or do you pierce the side of the can?

you would always get one in every Army 24 hour ration pack,i had dozens of them ,
Were you also in army as well as classical chef training? Blimey! If so, you must be so-oo disciplined!
I know then that I'll have one when needed, keeping one with each stove.

I don't think I've used this kind myself, but I've seen it used so I think I can figure it out. It's one of the more compact can openers, so good for travel and camping. I prefer the slightly larger ones with the little crank. I think they are easier and safer.

I prefer to puncture the lid. It allows me to make a safer tin for re-use (usually just for left overs or waste) but also allows me to put the 'dangerous' lid inside the tin and the tin be a touch safer... but I did experiment for a number of years doing the tin and went back to doing the lid instead.
Oh yes... a real knack. I prefer the one on my swiss army knife to be honest and there is a knack to that one as well!
