When to choose it

The silicone-grip lever removes the cap on a 35mm film cassette. This is useful if the leader has wound in completely and you prefer opening the cassette while setting up the reel.

Use the 35mm support described by the maker and listing bullets. The listing title also says 120, which has a different spool design. Open a loaded cassette in total darkness.
