Title: Old Tinker
Post by: Gio on November 09, 2018, 12:17:23 PM: Hi everyone!
Just got this old Tinker. (80's maybe ?) :dunno:
I was looking for a squared phillips sak but I did not know the head was splitted for can opening.
Cool feature!

Nice pic!! :cheers:
Are those heads more easy to damage or break?

I've used my can key Tinker Philips now for a while ( couple years :dunno: ) with no issues to speak of.

Most canned hams. Sure they come with their own can key, but you don't have to use it.
