you need the opener.  If that is not available, cut the rim off with a pair of sheet metal sheers!

Use a wide screwdriver or old chisel and hammer around the inside lip of the can.  Get about 1/2 around and pop up top. Be careful of sharp edges.

 

Or borrow a purpose-made opener from a friend.

Here is a cool video with a grinder.

Where exactly is this surplus city, and what else do they carry?

rub on concrete upside down for like 10 min.

 

surplus city is in feasterville pa, small shop not much nj legal stuff, cool guys tho. I always stop in there when I'm over that way,

i use an angle grinder on mine - grind the top edge, and you will see it split when done. The top comes right off - about 3 minutes and no sharp edges.

 

just saw carl g's video - yup, that's the way i do it, but the pads i use on my grinder take a bit longer.

105?  wow has the price of this stuff shot up.....

$99.99 non-member price.  You can usually find a free shipping coupon or some other coupon for $ off.

There is something unsettling about using a grinder to open a can of ammo!
