I was surprised to see this bumped.

I've already worked out a method of converting existing cans to an easy-open setup, no need for threads. Took me a heck of a long time to figure it out though, I'm no engineer. I still need a couple more items to finish the job, but my last revision eliminated the need for any special equipment. Anyone who provided the services I needed before either wanted much more than I could afford or wouldn't give me a quote up front, so that idea went out the window.
