Don’t look at me like that! The 15oz can of mini ravioli with mini meatballs is just too much “beef” to pass up for $1.67 (US).

Extra iron in every bowl!

There’s a hole in this plot.

Probably only one anyway

All he had to do is put a metal cutting saw blade attachment on the drill. Works like a charm!

Drill the holes close together along and near the edge of the lid about three quarters of the way around and then pull back the lid. Use a magnet to remove the little pieces of metal. Easy peasy!

That must have been a big rat if you need 5/8" bit.

5/8" Bit? Those are very small meatballs.

Go with the 2" hole saw. Fewer shavings than a drill bit.

Oooh. Sparkly bits in the spagetti-Os!

The demonstrates the importance of having a Swiss Army Knife. If you don’t have one, get one, better get a couple. They’re useful and very manly too.

Who doesn’t have an extra can opener in a junk drawer? I probably have three.

Sad but you gotta laugh: We knew my mother-in-laws dementia was getting worse when she went into the garage and brought back a pipe-wrench to open a can of vegetables. RIP Mom.

Did it work ?

Sometimes things are close yet so far away.

While I have a wide variety of tools that would work, I’d just open it with the can opener on my pocket knife.

Don’t use a drill kids unless you like metal shavings in your soup

P38 on may keychain for emergencies.

He should have used a step drill

If he’s going for this kind of solution, a carbide blade on a jigsaw will work wonders for him. The Spaghetti-Os will be a bit extra-crunchy, of course, but this is Moondog we’re talking here.

And the metal shards?…..

Boys with their toys. :)

Too bad he doesn’t have a Swiss Army cordless drill.

he’ll get it open bit by bit…

A classic single guy’s main meal, straight outta the can (don’t ask me how I know)! Moonie could probably get by just drilling a lot more holes, closely spaced….

Are those meatballs 5/8” in diameter?

yea, 5/8" will do it, but what ya really need is 3/4" to be able to scrape the inside with your finger
