How to use with an opened can
819463
The tops are made to fit snugly over open cans, but are so tight that it's almost impossible to get them on without crushing the can and spilling all the contents. Don't even attempt to use mine anymore :(

i think that might be hard to do. because you hold the can up there and then press down the lever, and the can opener does the rest. no need to hold the can. when the can is done the can opener still holds onto the can. i love this can opener. i highly recommend it. :)

Pull the pointed blade out where it's at a 45 degree angle, place the pointed tip on top of the can next to the rim and you'll notice that the slot under the pointed blade fits right around the rim. From there press the point down in a clockwise motion into the top of the can. Once you've penetrated it and brought the point back up to the starting position, rotate the can counter clockwise, or pull the opener back just enough to make another cut in the same fashion. Continue to do that around the rim until the can is opened...be careful (!) the lid on the can will be extra shop using this type of device. Hope this helps, wish I could attach pictures.

Yes the intention is to make your cans resealable, as a bottle would be. You snap it on to the top of the opened can and then you can open and close it as desired.

I don't know if this is correct, but it's how I did it. After I unscrewed the lid, I secured the can and punctured the top with a screwdriver. Be careful!

Very good question. Opening the top is critical to usage of this unit. There are three ways of doing this: 1) To open the entire top (to load or unload a trash bag), hold on to the can's body while pulling up on the very edge of the lip of the lid. The whole top will swing up. 2) To open the top's hatch (normal use/disposing of trash), find the tab on the hatch lid (about an inch behind the lip). Pull the tab towards yourself to unlock the hatch; you can then open the hatch. I recommend locking the hatch after closing it to prevent odor issues. 3) If none of the above work, use a crowbar. Note that I do *not* recommend this. Very good question. Opening the top is critical to usage of this unit.

It should be taped to the side of the can. If its not there, search the cans for one. It's like any other can of compressed air or WD-40.

Place on top of can and turn hand crank will open can and let you put lid back on works great

I believe it will. I have never had a problem opening any can once I got the knack of how to use it.

If the cans are empty this should work fine. However, if the cans could have liquid in them I would recommend a stronger grip such as [ Unger 92134 36-Inch Nifty Nabber Pick-Up Tool with Aluminum Handle ] , which can pick up full 15oz cans of food from above your head. Also, if you are going to use the grabber a lot (like picking up trash from a sporting event) I would suggest to spent the extra money and get the one I mentioned above.I also like [ Ettore 49036 Grip'n Grab Reach Tool, 32-Inch ] because it can pick up heavy things with ease.

I am right handed, so I'm not sure. I would have to try opening a can left handed. I did hold the opener in my left hand to a can and it seemed like it would work.

Use a funnel to pour the oil into a glass bottle-shaped container that's easy to pour from. Also helps to hold the container so that the spout is near the edge on the long side of the can. The can's top is a rectangle, looked at from above. Hold the can so the long side of the rectangle is down with the spout close to the top's edge. Got it?

Assuming you are referring to the 101 oz can, there is plastic spout on the top. Pull upward on the split rings to raise the spout. You'll then have a twist-off cap to use for resealing the can.

I have not tried that. I'm assuming you meanblike a regular pop can. I'm not sure how well it would work or how clean it would be considering that most of the pop cans I know of have that deep valley that runs around the inner rim of the can. I'll give it a shot though.:)

I sat my small can on a small soup can and it was just fine. I amvery proud of my non electric one handed can opener. Due to a strroke I can not use my left hand and am very interested in anything that helps me to be as normal as possible

Brute force. I had success by placing lid at 75 degree angle, and bracing my hand under the back lip of the can while pushing the lid inwards. Do one side first, then the other. Good luck!
