Will this open the #10 cans that are packed yourself at a cannery? The seal is too deep for my handheld or my electric. Will this work?

I do not do my own canning so I can not speak to the cans you have. It feels like it should. Sorry I ave no better answer.

I wish I could answer that but I have no idea what #10 cans are. I'm sure if it doesn't work, the folks will take it back. The company is in Missouri, I believe and you can write to them. I Love my Made in USA Can Opener and have given over 20 of them as Gifts and everyone is Happy.

I have used this on every can seen, and no problem... But I don't pack at a cannery... I would have to believe it would work. Really a great opener made in USA.

I don't know, but something tells me it will. This can opener is a thing of great beauty, it opens things I would never get opened.

I just tried it on an old #10 can in my garage and it worked great! The seal appeared deeper than a regular soup can from the pantry, so I don't think you would have any problems with this product. Haven't owned it long, but so far very happy.

It will seal it with no problem, but you will need to put something in, or over the hole like tape, etc as this stuff is very runny out of the can. I cant live without it overall.

Yes it will. This is what I use with my pressure canner. Is was the primary reason I purchased it.

The length of the shaft will vary on the depth of the original recessed can. Not at the location...but think about 10"?

You will need the model number of your canner which should be in the book that came with it or it is located on the canner itself either on the bottom or located under one of the handles . Once you have this information finding the correct seal is easy

No, in spite of what others may indicate, this does not work on larger cans. You'll need to keep two openers in your drawer if this is one of them.

tip is wider ,but has not been an issue . it comes out so fast and with such power [when you pull switch fully] that i fill much smaller gaps then with the cans .real small gaps i use a caulk gun and air seal .

I have only used it on 106oz cans (quite large) The cut appears to be nice and clean and no more of a safety factor than with smaller cans opened with an electric device. My opinion - always stay on the side of safety to insure a clean cut & dispose of can & lid quickly (especially if there are children around) Hope that helps.

It is a 10-Quart canner; small for a pressure canner. This sounds like it will fit just fine. Thanx bunches for the insight!

At first, I didn't think so, so I tried it on an old UNSEALED, but partly rusted shut, vacuum lid, and it will fit under it and lift it. I didn't have a sealed jar to try it on to see if it would bend it.

It is tricky but can be done. You will need to use your elbow at most to hold the can if it's liquid inside. If its not liquid then you should be able to. I won't lie it will be hard to turn the side Mechanism that opens the can. The final removal part I was able to do one handed. How ever I am right handed, and this item is made for right handed people. With that said, you both should try culinare's "One Touch Automatic Can Opener". Video of product - http://www.culinare.com/movies/one_touch_full/. It looks as if you don't place it on correctly to the can it may cause opening issues for the item. Or if you use it to open oily cans/dirty/etc it can jam it up. Reviews can be found here -

I don't know. I would get more info first. I used it and it worked. I think it softens and swells seals to stop the leak. If that is the case and your seals are just dried out it should work. Good Luck. Kent

It will work if you dont blow out the jack seals first. Mine lasted less then 3 days, but the cost of shipping such a heavy item back wasnt worth the trouble. Its still sitting in my shed. Good luck!

Millie - I bought it to use in a pressure canner, but have not tried it out yet. I can't imagine there would be any problem using it. Just be sure the size is compatible with the dimensions of your canner.

I have a 10-dip switch opener as well and it works for mine perfectly. My garage door opening is about 15 years old so I was surprised I could find one that worked - but this did the trick and I looked at the Stanley website and they say this is the only replacement - except much more expensive. Hope it works out for you!

What you are describing is what I did with my Ranger pick up truck and why I bought this item. This item fits the tops of the Envirosafe cans which are the same as R134a cans. The threads on some of these cans are not perfect, they make millions of these cans and quality control on them isn't perfect. I found if you make sure not to cross thread them, they will work, even though you need to use extra force to make sure you get a good seal with the seal inside of the valve on this item. As far as the needle making a perfect seal for storage of the extra refrigerant in an unused can, you can't bet on it. It will hold for a while, but for how long, who knows? I think if I need to do it, this is what I will do. I think if you leave the valve on the can, of course, then connect the hose to the manifold of a gage set and the gage valves are closed securely, with all connections tight, I think this should work. The can tap with gage and hose assembly fits R12 fittings and others like on house AC, plus you can get adapters to go from R12 to R134a fittings. I also have ordered R134a right angled adapter fittings, so it will possible to also use this can tap on R134a systems. Servicing AC IS complicated, but it is a lot less so after you get into and also do some research. Hope this helps. By the way the right angled adapters of the R134a system, really do make things a lot more accessible. If you don't have a gage set, I would suggest a fitting that can be screwed into the end of the R12 fitting on this hose to block it off, IF the valve doesn't seal the can. This fitting would need to be soldered shut somehow. (I think I will do this myself. If you can't trust the valve, closing off the hose makes sense.)

I haven't the Knipex here, I keep it in my truck. I haul sealed loads and it works fabulous on those hard to gnaw at cable seals. I see the sizes are listed odd, the 10" is specced at 12". The 8" is specced at 10" and this is listed at 6". I doubt it it's 6". I can measure mine on Tuesday and write again.
