The series 8 seamer gets almost 5 stars. The machine is easy to use, and easy to clean. Calibration can be a little tricky and it would be nice if there were simple adjustment screw to calibrate with... See more

Your products are great Only reason you didn’t get 5 stars is not being able to speak to a live person on ordering.
I’m sure it cuts down your labor costs I get it. But if you added more of a personal experience you would exceed 5 stars.

Great Experience So Far
I haven't had the chance to use it yet, but I'm confident everything will be good. I received the seamer and cans in a week. The cans were well packaged and don't appear to have any damage

Tear down tool purchase
The tear down tool is a modified can opener so it makes sense the cost will be higher than a standard can opener. This modification is not mentioned in the manual though. I do recommend buying this tool from Oktober as it works well for tearing cans down.

Reply from Oktober Can Seamers
Hello,
We manually machine off the bottom catch of every can opener to get it to work with aluminum cans, and you should see the markings underneath the cutting wheel of the opener.
The nippers are indeed standard cutting pliers, and are pictured and advertised as such.
We will be happy to take the items back if you would prefer to get elsewhere and modify the can opener yourself.
Let me know if you have any questions as we are always happy to help if you reach out.
Cheers,
Great Customer Service
Had a question about our MK19.2 can seamer and customer service answered immediately. They confirmed my suspicion that the problem was a missing wave spring (pretty sure our people lost it while cleaning). Part came 2 days later and we were back in business.

We have had our canner in use for over 6 years now with little maintenance, except replacing mandril and bearing once in a while. Keep it clean, keep it lubed, it will last. Ease of support for parts is outstanding.

Out of the box the Oktober can seamer was simple to set up. The directions were clear and within five minutes of unboxing it, we started canning and wound up packaging four cases of 16oz cans.
