can opener

I saw those can openers at Target for about $10 and was finally able to score one at my local thrift shop for $4.

It was able to open an 8oz can and the larger 12oz can but I had to first remove the metal guide loop thing. You can just pull the metal guide straight out with a pliers and it's easy to put back in place when you're finished.

I held the opener in my left hand and applied a slight rotational force by turning my wrist clockwise. This helped to keep the cutting blade in contact with the can. I turned the handle clockwise with my right hand. To help guide the can, I sort of rested the can against my legs because otherwise it started to slide out toward me.

Dana, this sounds kinky. Please provide photos.

My camera has been acting up ever since my bachelor party! But I was able to get some good shots with it.
Here’s a set of photos on Flickr for how I’ve opened 8oz and 12oz aluminum cans.

Dana, I have to say that these are the best pics I have seen of the process of opening a can. Thanks!

No Problem. I'm glad you like them!
