Thoses are all of the extra ones they had from people ordering only one spam can instead of a full crate with two spam cans in it. They could not give one guy the opener and not the other I guess. I have order a full crate of 7.92 and 7.62x54R from them and both crates were still sealed and both had the opener in the crate. The crate of 7.92 ammo came with it screwed to the bottom side of the lid. I would not want to have to open up one of thoses spam cans without one thats for sure! What a PIA!

spam can

I bought a single spam can a month back....they didn't send me a key...after looking online I found a youtube video of a guy opening the can with a flat head screw driver and a hammer....works for me!

**note: you should be tapping the hammer while holding the screw driver on a 45 degee angle towards you....and work your way around the can!....do not slam the hammer straight down!**

I've got one or two laying around. Used a hacksaw on a zinc bulgarian can, and have used the opener on a russian can.
