<<That item (not the penny, which is useless) is the best tool ever devised.>> P38 can opener, I used several when I was in the army. Might want to click next as here comes a story. I met a guy in Kenora, Ontario who went to a US Govt surplus sale and spent $10 on several barrels full of unknown. Turned out they were full of one million P38s can openers. He wholesaled them to camping stores in large quantities for a nickle each. Yep, he got $5 million for his $10 investment.
