HOW TO USE - 1. Open blade 2. Place the notch of the P-38 on the rim of the can with the blade inside the rim 3. Twist the P-38 down so that the blade punctures the lid of the can 4. Repeat twisting while turning the can 5. Be careful removing the lid. The lid will be sharp
The can opener is pocket-sized (approximately 1.5 inches, 38mm, in length) and consists of a short metal blade that serves as a handle (which doubles as a flat-blade screwdriver), with a small, hinged metal tooth that folds out to pierce the can lid. The P-38 is cheaper to manufacture than a standard can opener, and is smaller and lighter to carry. The device can be easily attached to a keyring or dog tag chain using the small punched hole.
