How to open and close a round can or C can


When using a finger ring

  • Step 1

    Place your finger ring on your thumb, which is the opposite of your dominant hand, and grab the round ring (or C ring) with a flat yattoko and insert it into the groove. (Choose the width of the groove according to the thickness of the ring)

  • Step 2

    Use a flat yatco to open the ring of the cane so that it moves back and forth. When closing, move it back and forth and close.
    *If you open the ring in a stretched position, it will cause metal fatigue and break, so be sure to shift it.

When using two Hirayatcos

  • Step 1

    Hold two Yatcos with both hands and hold the round ring (C ring) between them. Open the ring of the cane so that it moves back and forth.

  • Step 2

    When closing, move it back and forth and close.
    *If you open the ring in a stretched position, it will cause metal fatigue and break, so be sure to shift it.

  • *Be careful not to open too far from the left and right, so it will distort!
