P 51 Military Style Survival Kit Can Opener by US Shelby Co Pack of 4

It's a can opener. They tend to bend a little over time but they work

I bought this product to be kept with a collection of food I have stored in case of power outage or other such events. The pack I bought had four pieces to it. Each piece is very light weight and could be carried around all day without any issue. I was going to put one on my key ring but I soon discovered that the can opener opens up while inside of a pocket and the hooked edge catches on clothing meaning they do not sit in a pocket all that well. I have already tried to open cans of varying sizes and this can opener had no trouble with larger cans. If you have never used a can opener like this before you might have a few issues initially but after a can or two you should have no issue figuring it out. One of the things that I foresee as a potential issue is the durability. These are very cheaply made, I do not know how many cans you could open before it fails but i would not trust one to open up an entire emergency supply. If you plan on using these for a backpack, bug out bag or emergency kit I would recommend 2 or 3 can openers per each bag. You will likely not need all three but all you need is to twist one funny and break your only method of opening cans of food. This product is really not meant to be used daily. I have no doubt that if needed I could get into my cans of food without a problem with these can openers and I can save tons of space. I just tape these to the tops of the top of cans on the top of my collection and they do not poke above the lip of the can more then a few millimeters. This really is meant for camping, hiking or survival type events and activities. This is really not built to be used in a kitchen home or professional as the opening a single can takes a decent amount of effort and time which in a camping or survival situation is fine considering the almost non-existent weight added to a backpack Pros: Lightweight, small, effective, large enough to fit in your fingers without problems (I have large hands) Cons: Not super durable, can not be kept in a pocket or on a key chain, All in all I am very satisfied with this product. There were no surprises the can opener does just that; open cans. It is not a very expensive product so it is no surprise it is made of inexpensive materials and not built to be used as a homes primary can opening method. I also prefer these P-51 to the P-38's, which are smaller. The P-51 is an excellent size at not to big to be annoying but definitely large enough to be functional.

Awesome product and fast delivery.

I purchased a set of four military can openers because I wanted to have back up options in my house and car bag in case of civil unrest, natural disaster, or other unforseen circumstances forcing my family to have to move suddenly and with few supplies. These fit the bill for can openers and I feel more comfortable using these long term than using a swiss army knife or leatherman every time I open a can. (I'd rather not wear those out unnecessarily.) My only wish on these would be for a slightly bigger handle for comfort. Bonus: Other helpful things to have ready: Bottled Water, Canned staple food, 550 Paracord, Mason Line, Sturdy fixed blade knives, A knife sharpener, sewing kit, Phone charging bricks and cables in USB-c/Micro usb/ and apple lightning varieties even if you don't use all three, Duct tape, paper, pens, AA and AAA batteries, water proof lanterns and flashlights, camping water filtration equipment, 4 person tent for 2 people, Folding stools, baby wipes, and tools to repair your car on the side of the road. But most importantly, knowledge weighs nothing. Learn how to tie knots, do first aid, sew, use a map and compass, do simple repairs on your car, skin game, make shelter, plant and harvest food.

These come out of the box taped together, taking up an amazingly small space. They are very compact and fold up completely flat, about the thickness of a quarter and close to the same weight (I put one on a postal scale and it weighs just a tiny bit more than a quarter). It isn't as quick to open a can as a standard size can opener that you grip with one hand and turn with the other, but it is sharp and works surprisingly well for something that you could put in a pocket and not notice that it was there. It took 50 seconds to open a small, round can of olives. I imagine having a few of these spread around in glove boxes, back packs, tackle boxes, etc. is a smart thing to do. They take up almost no space and could make a huge difference some day. Great for the price, portability and quality.

Works when nothing else can!p51the campers nesscessity!

Easy to use and i keep it on my keychain

Just like the one I used in the Army. Perfect for your rucksack and camping. Great deal.

Sehr gut

Use these as a reliable back up when all the useless can openers we buy inevitably stop working.

There is nothing bad to say about these. They do their job perfectly, and have been around for so long that there are list on the interned for so many uses of these. I recommend these.

Good can opener, if size and weight are important like for camping it’s very small a lite if trying to save space in backpack works well.

A super back up tool to have! I have had crank openers fail during a camping trip and this would have come in handy. No space using storage. Will fit on a key ring. I'm stoked I bought this .
