Perhaps I should have tried the stuff you said. Thanks. nancy |

I don't actually use the handle to turn it, I just push and turn. Since I can't find this thing online anywhere, I hope it lasts a long time because I need it. Thanks for the idea. nancy |

It gets a good grip on it. Having hurt my hand several times on non-twist off beer bottles, I never bother checking and use a church key or other opener unless I'm out of doors.

I need all the preservatives I can get. A John Wayne is a can opener that was included in K rations in WWII. Also called a P-38. See entry in Wikipedia for details.

I'm retired Army, have been carrying a P-38 since 1966, and I've never before heard it referred to by that name. During my Army years, and in multiple tours in Vietnam in particular, calling something a "John Wayne" would not have been a compliment. -- Larry |
