Can this open cans? I know it has a bottle opener but can it open cans, like for soup?

Well, it does not "latch-on" and open cans like the P-51 can opener. But the tool is sturdy enough you can probably pound and pry your way in to a can if you had to.

yes if the thing does not break. i bought it and used it once and it broke it would not let go of the can. i threw away the opener and the can attached to it

No, but there's a magnet on the front of the can opener (in front of the cutter see red spot in picture) that allows you to use the can opener to "reach" into the can once the lid is cut and remove it without touching it with your fingers. I didn't think I'd use it but I have and it works well. Just rise well between uses.

Not at all. Fold out the blade, hook the little clip under the lip of the can and start cranking away. You will be amazed at how fast you can open a can with one of these.Larger cans of course take a bit longer as well as some more "work".There is only one other can opener that compares to these and that's the one on a Swiss Army Knife.I have/carry 3 Can Openers. A P-38, a P-51 and a Swiss Army Knife.That should say something.

Yes. You press the button for a second and the can opener rotates one full circle and then stops. It is always opened after this rotation.

yes...size of can would not matter....after you complete a revolution of the opener you might not think the can opened...there is no distinct click...plus this opener cuts right under the lid, not thru it...so just work the lid a little after and you'll find it opens cans 'different'...but very nice

Mine did. I found it to be rather useless though and eventually threw it away. I just use the can opener blade to open bottles. You have to be a bit careful not to puncture the bottle cap but it works.

I have only used this crusher for aluminum cans so I can't honestly answer this question. However I will say that I am VERY happy with the performance on aluminum cans. I've found that deforming the can slightly (with a small well-timed push of the finger on the side) makes the job much easier, so I would expect similar results with soup or vegetable cans. It may not work well crushing the can in perfect form, but even a small indentation on the side would probably allow it to crush those cans as well.

I'm sorry, I couldn't tell you for sure because I honestly haven't seen or bought many square cans. I can only think of the spam cans and they have a built in opener. However, the can opener does attach itself with a magnet to the top of the can and moves around the rim gripping the lip and I have opened bent top cans that weren't exactly round and had no problem. I would guess that it would do alright on squares as long as the corners are not too sharp of a turn. I love my can opener, I have torn rotator cuffs on both shoulders and this little gadget is a blessing,...no more pain opening cans.

Yes to open the can. You will have to be creative removing the lid from the can opener magnet, but can probably shake it off with one hand.

Can opener. But make sure it is a heavy duty opener, as sometimes the bends in the cans make opening difficult.

It only opens soup cans with pull tabs. It is very nice. Bought for my mother. Big easy to hold.

yes ! it will open the one gallon ( #10) cans. it is by far one of the easiest ones to use on them. If you are opening a large number of big cans i suggest getting a mounted commercial opener, but for just a few or the occasional one at home it is GREAT ! Hope this helps..

The opening measures approximately 2 1/4 inches across. The very top of the opening is slightly larger but it does narrow to 2 1/4. Yes, I believe it would hold a can of Campbell's soup.

It only works on round cans. (Some metal tins are elongated ovals or round-cornered rectangles and this opener won't work on them.)

Opening anything with one hand will be a challenge. That being said, I think so. I just tried it and was able to. I had to use the non-usable hand to at least balance the opener while I twisted the opener to the size of the cap. Then I held the bottle between my body and the kitchen counter and used the good hand to turn the opener handle. The cap came off and a slight bit of water escaped, but the top was off. Good luck.

We have never tried to open spam cans so I can't say for sure. It is a very nice can opener and I don't see why it wouldn't open spam cans. It cuts just below the lip on the side of the can rather than cutting on the top. I think that would probably give it a better chance of cutting than if it cut on top. Hope that might help.
