@danielgeci4513 8 месяцев назад

It may not affect its function for opening cans but it does eliminate its other function as a wrench. I'm not a fan of this mod. I'd rather be able to use it on oxygen or a garden hose valve in an emergency than have that hook blade. If you want to open packages use the knives, just be careful.

@DouglasTuret 3 года назад

Another great video, Felix, but for the next time you find yourself needing to use a diamond bur against steel like that, I have two suggestions that will make your work easier: 1) add a tiny amount (literally, a drop) of dish soap to the water, or even just smear a little on your fingertip and stir in into the water before you begin. By doing so, you’ll eliminate the surface tension of the water - essentially making it ‘wetter’, and 2) if you’ll uses a thrusting/plunging/pumping action with the side of the diamond bur against the steel workpiece, the grinding will go faster and the tool will last much longer. Oh, also, (#3) once you’ve got a small divot ground into the steel as a placeholder, try using slightly more pressure at a slower speed. It seems counterintuitive, but a slower moving tool often gouges out more material than a faster one (and this is especially true when drilling)!

@Pinki2019 3 года назад

Yes, it would make sense for them to add an additional feature to the can opener since can openers are not as useful as they used to be (most cans have pull-tab tops nowadays). I use the can opener as an orange peeler more than for opening cans.

@PJ-mj1hy 2 года назад

Checking in a year later. Did you do this modification, and was it easy with the described Dremel tools?

@cesarvidelac 3 года назад

You know. I'm still fan of the old Wenger ones, I really hate the can opener from the victorinox. Wengers have a "hook" can opener, you pull it, it's way more comforable than the push can opener, safer and can do many of the things the hook one you modified here. Love your channel, subscribed!

Im more of a "camp knife" kind of guy who likes large knives and hatchets. Then I realised that I carry about 5 things that could all be replaced by one Swiss Army Knife. Then I stumble across this channel where some dude tells me how to modify the Swiss Army Knife so it can do even more. Ever get that feeling that things are working out just fine.....? (subbed)

@Sam_T2000 9 месяцев назад

I thought of this modification recently, but you had already done it! this is probably the single most useful modification one could make to a SAK, and I’d imagine most everyday users would end up using his more than the knife blade itself… I’m surprised Victorinox hasn’t stolen this idea already!

I was thinking... You know what, the can opener of my Vic can easily accomodate a sharp edge on the inside for opening packages and those tedious clamshell plastic retail packages, and was undecided if giving to it a hook shape or a straight edge, maybe with a negative angle to... Hook into stuff. I figured... Let's see if anything similar on the internet, and... Boom, Felix already did this! And... So beautifully! Is there ANY mods that you still did not think about?? 😃 Great video as always, thanks!!!

@analogmatrix1442 2 года назад

If you do this modification you can no longer use the can opener as an oxygen wrench. That’s what the 90 degree flat part is for. Also works if your garden hose valve (metallic valve yokes only) breaks, you can unscrew the valve handle and use the can opener as a handle. I leave my front yard valve handle off so transients don’t get water and leave the valve leaking.

@kingpin11111 Год назад

Good point! However, I believe using a hook blade for opening packages seems much more likely on day to day basis.

@BillDrives 3 года назад

I have tried this method and it works fine. However, I also tried another solution and it works better without risking the integrity of the can opener. Using a fine flat needle file, I filed a small flat bevel instead of a round curved bevel. Then followed by wrapping a high grit sandpaper 2000 around the file to then polish the blade, Its like a small knife and it cuts through packaging. This way it still has a flat side for when using the can opener and it is super sharp without compromising the tool.
