+Star*Hopper Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 (edited) Correct, thus the post. ^^^^^^^^^ Correct, that I did. In fact, some of us called 'em the 'Dukey (pron'd 'dookie') Tool'. But when in Rome.... ~* Edited March 24, 2008 by Star*Hopper Quote Link to comment
+llatnek Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I don't think I had ever heard of P-38s until I saw this thread. That's cool! There is at least one website selling them in bulk for 25 cents apiece. We called them "John Waynes" in the USMC. Quote Link to comment
gitarmac Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 I love p38's! I keep one on my keychain, one at work, one in all my packs. . . I put a small piece of tape or like someone else said, small rubberband to keep them from opening when they are going to be on a keychain or something. I'm trying to get some good swag ideas, thanks!

+TeamGumbo Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Bob if you'll PM me your snail addy, for the job you did I'd be honored to send you one of these I have, one vet to another, if you'd care to have it. He has a couple inbound already. Quote Link to comment

Next time you're in a hardware store, take a look in their O-Ring bin. & dirt cheap. Also, thanx for the gesture, 'Gumbo' .... downright 'cauc' of ya! ~8) ~* Quote Link to comment
+simpjkee Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 There is a cacher here in AZ who uses P-38's on little keychains as their sig item. Quote Link to comment
cachpowerd Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I have been trying to figure out something cool I can leave as a signature item, and I am considering ordering a bunch of P-38 can openers (the ones that used to come with C-Rations). It has a sharp edge, but that edge is only about 1 cm. I've had one on my keychain since basic training and still use it (not only for opening the occasional can, but to open boxes, loosen screws, etc.). A very handy tool to have that I'm sure folks would use. sure why not! it's not dangerous. (well not if your careful) and its not little kid's party hat. go ahead Quote Link to comment
