how do you use the can opener on the crunch?

I have never successfully opened a can all the way, it works great at punching hones in the can to drain liquids

I don't see a can opener on the crunch, there's a bottle opener on the small flat blade screwdriver.

Leatherman's website only lists a bottle opener. It does not list 'can opener' as one of the tools so it's really not designed for that purpose. It certainly doesn't look like any can opener I've ever seen (they all have a curved/angled piece of metal away from the lip to pierce the can).

I push on the metal lid with a tool of some kind to deform it so it opens, as you probably have figured out. I lay the lid on the counter upside down and push on the inside of the lid with the same object (the handle of a wooden spoon) to make it pop back the other way. It will then snap right back on the opening with no problem. Low-tech solution, but it works fine.

This is the method that works for me. Hold opener in both hands, facing the underside with pointy side up. With thumbs on either side of the round cutter, push up! It goes right back the same way, only it's easier going back on. I hope this helps you out. Debera

use both hands holding the sides of the bowl, close the lid from the bottom, while it close to the top, slightly use both of your index fingers to squeeze the bowl, and use your thumb to push the lid down. Now it closed perfectly.:) make sense?

You pry it open using a small coin. Insert in slot between transparent red plastic and the base, twist, and Hey Presto! It pops open. I hope...

It takes a little practice but what worked for me is to; spread the handles, position the opener on top of the can just about as it is here in the picture, then close the handles slowly while keeping it flat on the can. You should feel the blade "bite" into the can. It may take a few times, but you will find it. Rotate the twister clockwise all the way around. Then, if you look, you will see, beneath the twister, a set of mini pincers, turn the opener sideways and open these pincers to grab onto the lid and gently lift like a bottle opener, the lid should pop off. I am a 65yr old widower, if I can do it you can do it. Patience, & good luck. PS The best can opener I ever owned.

I would make sure that nut fully engages/sits on the lid properly when you slide it on the can. Also the first time it was a little ruff to get going as using it without a clamp style handle and the fact that it splits the lid open was a little weird to get used to; but it works fine for me and no problems turning it after that first can open, love it. When you turn it clock wise the splitter latches to the lid then counter clockwise unlocks the can opener. hope this helps sort it out, it really is a great can opener and can just take some getting used to. If not you might have gotten one that has a turning problem hope that isn't the case, if it is I'm sure they will exchange it.

Hummmm...I'm not sure how you're trying to open them if it's causing difficulty. If you use a flat head screwdriver, and pry all around the can, like a pain can, it should pop right off. I'm sorry, I don't have any other suggestions, if you were opening it as I mentioned :-( Good luck!

According to the instructions, you grasp the black base of the attachment (not the far end near the beater) and give it a yank. I just tried it on mine and it works. Hold the attachment by the black plastic part as close to the metal insertion point as you can and pull it. The motion is very similar to pulling a Christmas cracker. Keep the whole device (handle and attachment) straight. It should come out after giving a little resistance. You might be afraid you are going to break it, but you won't - unless of course you use something like pliers or bending it. Give it a smooth but firm yank and it should yield.

The blade should retract releasing the can opener from the can when it makes a complete circle around the can. The blade should be retracted before you start. If it is not, push down on the little lever until it is.

Very good question. Opening the top is critical to usage of this unit. There are three ways of doing this: 1) To open the entire top (to load or unload a trash bag), hold on to the can's body while pulling up on the very edge of the lip of the lid. The whole top will swing up. 2) To open the top's hatch (normal use/disposing of trash), find the tab on the hatch lid (about an inch behind the lip). Pull the tab towards yourself to unlock the hatch; you can then open the hatch. I recommend locking the hatch after closing it to prevent odor issues. 3) If none of the above work, use a crowbar. Note that I do *not* recommend this. Very good question. Opening the top is critical to usage of this unit.

I just hold one end with my left hand and press firmly on the zucchini with the cutter while sliding to the other side at the same time. Then I cut the end I was holding in julienne with a knife. Hope this helps ;)

See visual instructions that came with the product. Slide the lever to the left to "open" the cutting blades. Place the edge of the can between between the two cutting blades, keeping opener perpendicular to the can. Slide the lever back to the right and you're ready to go!

Are you able to fit the opener over the jar's lid? Here are general instructions: This device has 3 parts. 2 things you grab as the user: the handle (the big thing sticking out) and the screw top dial thing (the wedge thing on the disk), and 1 thing on the opener that grabs onto the jar: the teeth. The wedge on the disk controls how the opener grabs the jar's lid, and the handle controls how you open the jar after the opener grabs said lid. Put the opener on top of the jar with the teeth down on the lid. Pinch the screw dial wedge top of the opener and turn it to the left. The teeth will open wider as you turn left. Turn the top left until the teeth fit around the cap of the jar. Then turn right until they dig into the jar's lid. Then use the handle to turn the opener which is now screwed into the jar's lid to rotate the lid off the jar by putting one hand on the jar to hold it still, putting your other hand on the opener handle, and then turning the opener handle lefty loosey.

There is a lock on the top that uses a key and you twist the whole lock to open the can. If it is locked, it won't turn.
