Tin opener

[BlackPig]

On a facebook site someone put a photo of the old camping/army tin opener you know the one (if over 40). I said I had two on the boat as I know it will work and as an after thought put I would like one in marine grade steel.

Can you get one?
Do you ave a full proof 100% will work tin opener?

The person I sailed with used to have one similar to this

He insisted it was the only tin opener he'd had that always worked. F*****g thing

I bought one like those in this picture for his boat ......... but he kept the old one hidden in the tool box.

( I have 3 because one is the one we have always had, one was in our camping kit and one was my father's. The two spare ones have been to Uni with the children but are back home now)

Thats the type I use, may even be the same make! BUT I do keep my 'filter removing strap' in my toolbox, what do you use it for in the cutlery drawer?

I'd suggest something like this http://kitchenbuddies.co.uk/can-openers/159-kuhn-rikon-auto-safety-lidlifter-can-opener.html?gclid=Cj0KEQiAqYCkBRC4xNiSu5-Y-PcBEiQA96OM9LeOoBkdfLjBueZuqiKHU2sBAY7-Z0U8WVhrby8pFToaArXk8P8HAQ#/color-red though safety can openers can be bought cheaper than that. Aside from avoiding sharp edges, the can can be resealed by just shoving the lid back on - use a bit of tape or a rubber band to hold the lid on if the boat will be bouncing around a bit.
