the p38 is the best and most reliable can opener that you can always depend on. Been using them since I was a kid.

I love p38s. I much prefer using them instead of traditional bulky can opener

I've been using one of these for 30 years. Have one in my go bag. It's the only can opener my daughter's ever saw in the house. Takes a very long time to wear one out!

Great for when you're in need. Camping. Can opener breaks.

I ordered both sizes & they work very good. I got tired of buying can openers at Walmart that kept breaking after a year. After seeing reviews of it on YouTube that these type of can openers will last a really long time, I know I had to get a few. Definitely recommending this to others.
