After trying other tools and methods I saw this and gave it a try. This took all the effort and frustration out of reusing film canisters. It also saved me 2 rolls of film that some how the leaders had rolled back inside the can. I was easily able to open the can in my dark bag and feed the leaders back out then reseal it. I highly recommend it!

Awesome product!!

I am currently getting back into my own film developing that I did in the 70's. I had fun developing B&W Prints as well as Color Slides back then. Now that negative scanners are available, Color seems more cost effective for a hobbyist. I haven't used this product yet, but I plan to - using a Dark Bag and Patterson containers. I think this will work a lot better than the proverbial Church Keys, which I will have as backup.

Working in the Dark

I have one of these purchased years ago. If you load your own film into metal cassettes this is the way to go. But for commercial loads in "staked" cassettes a beer can opener, the classic church key, is the better choice.  The church key will probably damage reloadable metal cassettes, the Kaiser won't if used with ordinary care.
