I could never see the appeal (of the tool not FB  )

*warning controversial statement*

these are ok(ish) for opening the odd can if you're stuck in a survival situation and have a can without a ringpull and no SAK, but other than that they ........... well they are just pointless

I'm guessing it's one of those things were there is no in-between; either you love it or you hate it? Don't have one myself, due to the exact same reasons as TD - if I'm somewhere without either a SAK or MT with a can opener, I'm problably in a situation where a can opener would be the last tool I needed.

Whats the difference between both versions ? I noticed Wilkinson have one but it looks longer in length

I see now :-)

The beauty of the P-38/P-51,from what some of the old war vets have told me, is that those venerable can openers did more than just open cans

Ive just ordered 2 from amazon

Going to pop into the town Sunday and see what else I can pick up while I wait   

[Zed]

Go outdoors do this one with bottle opener 

[jerseydevil]

I've carried a P-38/51 on me longer than I've carried a SAK or multitool.  Versatile little suckers.    I "liked" the page right after it was mentioned on the MT.O FB page.  I still need to get myself a FRED......

[Zed]

I received the kind gifts of a p-38 and p-51 from Nate  I modified a couple of clarinet reed cases.think there work well from stopping the blade flapping around

[ducttapetech]

Good idea!

Nate

You all say these thingys are versatile, how so other than popping cans?
 

[ducttapetech]

They can open boxs, used as a small prybar, screwdriver, use the corner for some phillips heads.....
