Gosh you guy's cost me $$$.
I just ordered it, it will arrive tomorrow, just in time for my vacation.

The one I have now is a cheap one that does not work all the time.

It was a toss up between this one and the other one at Amazon.

If I like it I will order another one later for home.
I have one, but it too is not the best.
I gave up on electric ones long ago.

I'm holding off until these become available. Sound like exactly what I need to go with my Cook Bros. bottle opener.

I've designed my own can opener, and am currently interviewing local fabrication shops to find one qualified to make it. I want an individual artisan, self-taught, who has personally driven the length of the Americas, so that he (or she) will know what makes a superior can opener.

Also, I'm having trouble sourcing the titanium.

When we get the first unit made, I will begin designing a carbon fiber mount to attach it to a roof rack.

One of these commercial can openers would look great on the rear bumper next to the bench vice

Nuff said. This will open ANYTHING you need opening. If you can't open it with it, you don't need it opened.

I think unobtainium would be a much better material for these. I would even consider purchasing one from you if you can color match it to my Jeep. The paint code(2008) is PW1; Stone White.

On the other hand I may just keep my P-38. I picked up a hand full of them back in 1982 and they have NEVER failed. Oh yeah, and they were free

we've had good luck with kitchenaid and oxo stuff, as well as chop saws, cutoff wheels, reciprocating saw, torch and uhh other stuff i can't talk about here.

To me it's not camping unless you use the mil-spec opener.

America's Test Kitchen is a great resource. If we are home, we try to watch the weekly episode.

Here is the ATK review:

We still use our 10 year old standard OXO opener at home.

On the trail, my Leatherman works well enough, although we don't usually take canned goods with us.
