Why can't I open cans bought in France?

I suggest you contact the manufacturer. I've used my opener on imported cans from Italy, and had no problem, but have not had the opportunity to open a French can yet. I suspect it may have something to do with different canning methods. Perhaps the can is inset from the lid, or vice versa. I have included a link to Rosle. If they answer you, please share. http://www.rosleusa.com/news/2008/Can-Opener-with-Pliers-Grip.html

yes they can there is a small opener notch that will do the trick. I got my first one from my dad in '64 carried it through Vietnam, and gave it to my son in '90 for him to use on a camp out.... needless to say, he lost it. they are called p-51's they will open any can any time.....:)

I ask the same question to the seller and they answer me that both cans have similar products, which isn´t true. Another issue. they shows two cans, as I can understand they have to send you both cans not just one. That´s cheat

In 2000, the EPA adopted a Californian law that set special requirements to make gas cans "safer" and applied it federally. Once this came into place, it became illegal to sell a canister to store fuel that did not have: -A single, self venting opening for filling and pouring with no separate vents or openings -A treated can body for minimal permeation of fuels -Automatic closure, meaning a nozzle which automatically springs to the closed position when not pouring -Childproof features as designated by the Children's Gasoline Burn Prevention Act So even though these are the same cans that people around the world have been using for over a 100 years to store, and this company sells these exact cans internationally (including NATO) to store gasoline safely; you can not purchase one in the United States if you plan on storing fuel in it. This is why it's being sold as a water container. Instead you should be looking at the new, "better", "safer" cans that cause you to spill gasoline all over the place and yourself and tend to pose a real hazard of exploding.

It is not restricted to sale just in the United States. It is that we do not ship outside of the US.

When I received mine I could not open it either. I returned to Amazon immediately. I would call Amazon customer service for advice.

Sorry I don't know. Maybe you can contact the company. I have my can only a month or two

I had the same question and searched for months. Eventually gave up and purchased completely new cans. I suspect it is deliberate on the part of the manufacturer.

Not sure what you mean about opening up the barrel. But like Becky White answered, you cannot open these barrels up.

I've been trying to reorder since December as well - I contacted the company and they said the were "working on getting them back in stock at amazon" with no estimate as to when that would happen. I found the refills on another website at a higher price, and it won't allow me to purchase it because they won't ship the product to California. I'm guessing it has something to do with the plastic bag ban that was passed, but this is very frustrating and rendering a product I bought relatively recently useless.

Yes they can its a standard tap which most beers have. Some Foreign beers need a European adaptor

The can does not give that information. Using it though, I do not see why not.

Geezzz, I now have a "Hamilton Beach" thing, (for that) so I don't know what ever happened to it. (?) I seem to think it wasn't working well enough to open cans, but Im not sure; sorry:(
