Kuwagata is Japanese for a stag beetle, and when you look at the pincers on this useful little tool, you’ll see why. It’s Snow Peak's solution to a very specific problem: what to do with empty isobutane fuel canisters. You can't just chuck them in the recycling with gas still sloshing about inside, so this little tool punctures the canister to release any remaining fuel safely before disposal. It's made from quenched steel and aluminium alloy, weighs just 29g, and has a keyring hole so you can attach it to your keys or rucksack. No more fumbling about with the tin-opener off your Swiss army knife.
Snow Peak's journey began in 1958, when the founder Yukio Yamai, an accomplished mountaineer, created his own line of superior climbing gear. Snow Peak then looked to evolve by shifting its focus from the mountaineering equipment of the past to the camping equipment of the future. Fueled by the booming national interest in auto-camping sweeping across Japan, Snow Peak released a series of radically innovative products which focused on quality, functionality, timeless-durability and considered design.
