P-38 Can Opener
I was so excited when I saw that VetFriends carried the P-38. I've had one P-38 for years and have always been afraid I would lose it and not be able to replace it. Ordering was simple, shipment was fast, and quality is as good as my ancient P-38.

The P-38 can opener is better than any electric can opener I have ever owned. It is dependable and get the job done. My wife refuseds to use an electric opener.
