“If it was that important about metal shavings the manufacturer or airline would have provided you with tools.” – that is what we hear from those who are skeptical about TheCanKey products, and our FOD-free can opener especially.
Actually you know what? – world leading oil manufacturers do order and distribute TheCanKey opener and Funnel Caps already! The industry giants and experts are our loyal customers: Shell, Exxon Mobil, NYCO Group, Anderol Inc and Eastman.
They have recognized the risk of using improper tools, like screwdrivers, Leatherman pliers, for the oil can opening. You can read more about the impact of the metal shavings on the engine safety and lifetime: why-fod-shortens-turbine-engine-bearing-life
Those and many others: 14 aircraft manufacturers, 17 air forces, 3 police forces, 49 airline operators, 38 helicopter operators, 68 business aircraft operators, 96 parts and oil distributors, 11 air ambulances, across 54 countries. We are happy that the Foreign Object Debris / Damage risk, in the turbine oil, has been recognized by so many, and they take actions to prevent FOD.
