How this fits a preparedness plan
Canned food is convenient until the only opener in the house is electric or has gone missing. Coghlan's item 702 is a pair of small nickel-plated steel manual can openers with key-ring holes. One can live next to your pantry stock and the other in a vehicle or evacuation kit. The two-pack is compact enough to attach directly to the bag containing food.
There is a tradeoff for the small size: opening a can takes practice and may be difficult for someone with limited hand strength. Try one on a normal can while you still have your kitchen opener. Keep the cutting edge folded or covered in the kit, and mind sharp can edges when opening food. A comfortable full-size hand opener is a better primary choice for a household that relies heavily on cans.
Match your food plan to your tools. Some cans have pull tabs, but those can fail; a separate manual opener gives you another option. This exact Amazon ASIN is the Coghlan's two-pack, not a similarly indexed GI P-51 opener. Confirm the pack, merchant, shipping, and current price before ordering. We researched the manufacturer's product description and have not conducted a long-term blade test.
