How do I use this with a can of 134a? There is nothing that I see that will "pierce" the can

You are correct. These are universal manifold gauges. They can be used with a larger commercial tank of 134a. If you are using the one lb cans typically sold for do it yourself-ers you will need a piercing valve for the can which will have an attached hose to couple to the manifold gauges.

I wouldn't trust it not to bend even for ordinary cans. Mine bent on the very first use opening a Berkley & Jenson can of chicken. And it did not open the can. I had to resort to another opener. Perhaps that's alittle heavier than a can of Campbell's soup... but not much.

Raise the white lever like you were going to insert a can, but lift it a little higher. Then pull it towards you. It will come out, but you may have to wiggle it a 32nd of an inch either way as you are gently pulling the lever back towards you.

The can does not give that information. Using it though, I do not see why not.

Am so sorry I cannot answer your question. I bought this as a gift for my son. Guessing you have kind of a vapor lock. Maybe put a very thin knife in and try to release the pressure that has built up. Know I need to do that when I open goods I have canned. Good luck.

I don't see why you couldn't use it. Just make sure the mixture is right. Maybe mix up a little bit to test it to see if it sets correctly

I purchased mine as a gift for my daughter. I take it the can is in position "crooked" as you describe it being "hung". I would uplug, and wiggle the can until it came loose. I opener is trying to do its job but can't because of the position of the can. that is my best guess based on the information available.

Good question. Too bad Hamilton Beach does not address it. I had the same problem and nearly sent the opener back. First, remember it does not cut. The front roller holds the lid down while it moves the can. The roller behind pushes up the lip of the lid, breaking the seal as it rotates. In order for the back wheel to push the lip, it must be seated UNDER it, next to the can wall. This is not much of a problem if the can is heavy; can weight tends to press it against the guide. If your can is small or quite light, e.g., tuna, press down lightly on the lid during rotation, opposite the rollers, correcting the can's angle and moving the roller under the lip. Sound will tell you when the can is seated correctly and the lip is being pushed up. When the lid stops rotating and the lid continues to go around, it has separated and you're done. Once you've got this licked, the opener works well and leaves behind no sharp edges. I really like mine.

Z: put it on a mast and mount it in best location you have, even if it is attached to your tin can. Just don't ground the coax to your tin can. Your metal box will be a tiny blip in the total RF energy radiating from the antenna. Consider that there are dozens of antennas made that are suitable for mounting on RV (a smaller tin can) and they work fine. So don't worry about your metal box, just do a good installation, use the best coax you can and enjoy!

It should be taped to the side of the can. If its not there, search the cans for one. It's like any other can of compressed air or WD-40.

Probably. I have only used it on regular sized cans, but I don't see why it wouldn't work.

It's better to have a different container/can that fits to make it easier to clean. This will also keep your product from burning too.

I don't know. As I said in my review, there were no guidelines for use or recipes with the can. If you bought some , try it and see if it works. If it does, let me know ,please! thanks, miki

I think it would be best to call the manufacturer. There should be an 800 number you can find online or the back of a can.

Actually, this oil drain thing didn't work. There wasn't clearance on my Craftsman 21 hp vanguard, the drain plug is too close to the steel frame/base. I don't know the setup of your 16, so look first and see if there is enough clearance for the 9/16" or bigger wrench flats that this thing screws in with . The fix is a straight pipe with same thread as your plug, long enough to extend into open space for draining, and a 90 degree elbow turned down, and a plug. Bring your plug to plumbing department and know how long the tube needs to be. Shove a wedge under it so she doesn't get bent somehow. Sounds like a goofy technique, but is better than what we started with .. an oily mess. Good luck. Actually, this oil drain thing didn't work.

I measured mine today. It is true, you cannot use the rack that comes with it, but I have a ~5-inch little trivet that works really well. I checked--you can put 3 pint jars in it while sitting on my little trivet. (NEVER put the jars directly on the bottom.) I read the instruction book, and there is a reference to a Ball canning lid being ok to use in it. They do not say you can use it to pressure can, but I am taking that reference as being that it is ok to use it to can (ALWAYS WITH CARE!) You must not overfill the unit. My unit only takes 3 pint jars--no quarts. Another consideration is that a proper "canner" came with a rack to hold each jar in place so they do not bang each other. I am going to take chunks of aluminum foil and wad it loosely up and stuff it in a loop between the pint jars to hold them apart. For my first attempt I may sit it out on the deck, just in case :-), but I really do not think there should be a problem.
