    Yesterday, Zelph wrote "safe cutter for removing tops from heinekin cans."

    I bought one from walmart several weeks ago, the very same one. It pained me to spend $10.00 on a can opener.

    It is better for making a pot, but not for preparing cans for a stove build because it leaves some of the rolled over top in place. like a barrel hoop.
    You can't stretch the top or force it inside ot the second piece.

    It pained me the first time also. I had to buy a second one once I started selling heiny pots with Ring of fire stoves. I learned that the drive wheel has to be cleaned after every cut can or else the aluminum piled up on the wheel and would fail to make a good complete cut.

    I lucked up and found one in a Goodwill yesterday for $1.50. That makes three total for me(one is modified to take lids off cans with 'big shoulders).
