Nemco Manual CanPRO Can Opener - NE560502

Nemco  Manual CanPRO Can Opener - NE560502

This Nemco 56050-2 Manual CanPRO Can Opener is unlike any conventional can opener on the market! Instead of puncturing and cutting down into the lid from the top, this Nemco 56050-2 cuts from the side and along the lid's outer seam. This means the cutter never makes contact with the inside of the can, ensuring no metal shavings fall into the food. The lid comes off clean, with no jagged edges. The Manual CanPRO Can Opener has been designed this way to improve performance.

Features 

• Compact under clamp
• Think Outside the Can
