    Small tool. Wooden handle 6-8 inches long, metal top. Found this cleaning out a garage. Does anyone know what this is?

      Looks like what was called a "handyman's can opener". They also came with a bottle opener for bottles with a metal cap . It/they were a novelty item but did work.....kind of worked. There was also one with a fish head for fishermen.

      Here is a modern version, yours is much older. It was an idea that never took off.
