Will this handle large size number 10 cans? The industrial size ones for emergencies. Thanks

It cuts smooth and very easily. Holding the handles towards the end of the handles works best for me and my mother. Her hands are weaker now and this opener has helped her easily open big cans now.

Yes it does a good job for me. I open jumbo sized cans quite often for special recipes that require quantities of certain canned vegetables. The best help to get the larger cans opened smoothly are the excellent grip you can get on the stainless steel handles. Go for it it works.

I believe it will, but have not had a chance to try it on the large cans yet. I don't believe there is any difference between the regular size and the large size, except for the volume.

I can't imagine there would be any problem. If there is something beyond my imagination, remember, Amazon returns are easy. It fits a 4 inch can. I Googled this can. Should work. Try it.

no....and to be honest when I first got this it worked great however lately I have been having trouble working it on some cans....you may want to reconsider this.

Luke, I believe the largest wire it can handle is 12 gage stranded. But it may be 14 gage. I am fairly sure 10 gage is too large.

It will crush somwhat taller cans but not say a tall monster can. It has additional room above a regular 12oz can.

I use extra large and I don't think there is much difference so it should be able to handle it

It will have no problem holding large/heavy quantities for drying. It is very durable and fairly heavy duty.

I have actually opened up quite a few regular sized cans and it's not really difficult to use but it does take a little practice to get the hang of it. I don't recommend using this if you're looking to open the larger diameter "value" sized cans.

No. I got a bigger size by mistake and it works, but is a real pain in the butt. The size is really made for the can and it works best.

Hi Maureen, I know you asked this back in January but I just now saw it. I have crushed several 32oz cans with no problems. So far I've crushed over 500lbs with this unit and have used it on everything from 5.5oz up to the 32oz and everything in between. Don't try the al bottles though.

I dont think it will work. It is used mainly for 12 ounce cans. It can be used for 2 different types of 12 ounce cans, but not for anything smaller.

I currently use mine to hold 10 lids but it could easily hold a couple more. Make sure you check for overhead clearance where you plan to install it.

Well... I think if you are strong enough to hold up 5 gallons of gas, you will be able to operate this can. They might have a 2.5 gallon one that would be lighter. As for big or small hand, I think if you pull the silver handle towards the red handle and then lift the can with that one hand, you will be fine. The total circumference of the two handles is still pretty small. The red handle is just shy of 2.5" circumference, and the two handles together when compressed are about 3.75" oblong circumference. I will see if I can post a photo of my hand holding the two.

Yes it will, but you probably need about 3-4 cans for that, bite the bullet and buy the big container, you ll save money in the long run..

I was going to write to contact Presto directly, but others answered it does. I bought it because I wanted to compare it to the regulator included with my 23-quart canner. was within 1 pound. agree that it is most handy for when needing to can at 5 or 10 pounds

I am not sure as I don't do canning but I do use them at work as I have to count part and they are the greatest when I have the different sizes for different size parts that I have to count and bag up. So I don't know if this will help you or not.

It holds 10 cans. But as the others have said, if a can is partially crushed it will affect how it works.
