But when would a person randomly need a can opener when not at home or with all your camping gear?

Flashlight, yea, I get that.

"F-  :censored: Ridiculous Eating Device" or  "Field Ration Eating Device"
seems to be an improvement on our 1942 issued P38 can opener

I've had a couple of large crank style openers that work good on large and small cans.  I'm not sure of the exact brand I have, I think it is the Swing-away.  I like the longer crank handle, hands are getting weak and arthritic, this style is still pretty easy to operate.

If you have a place to mount it, this style is pretty hardy-

I don't live in CA but it appears to be state mandated warning, Proposition 65 , to let its citizens know that every product they buy can cause cancer so because they required the warning you can't sue them, the state that is (CYA ).
