Fellow TechNetters:

   My colleague and I were recalling, flash back, tools for opening metal can components, transistors, etc.   We currently have a need for one of those specialized tools from years gone by.   A tool for removing the lid on EPROMS was also very handy, nut cracker.

Can someone provide a make and model to purchase an electric cap opener for delidding metal package transistors (like T-03 packages)?  I used to have a SigneMatic  cap opener, but they appear to be no longer in business.  The unit had an adjustable/slide roller that feed the metal can into a rotating beveled blade/cutting edge.

  Appreciate any help on this.

Victor,
