24.01.2022 The Field Ration Eating Device (FRED), a uniquely Australian innovation, has been copied by many, but never surpassed. What started as a simple tin opener the F...RED has been developed into a tool used by diggers for many applications over the decades. During the Second World War, Australia produced the world’s first 24-hour (three-meal) combat ration pack. During this period the first ‘spoon opener’ was trialled. Further trials were conducted from the mid-50s, with full-scale production starting in 1958. The bottle opener was added in 1966, and since conversion to metric in 1977. From a sight adjustment tool, general-purpose screw-driver and a survival multi-tool, as well as countless other applications for which it was never designed, but is apparently well-suited. It has outlasted the .303 rifle, the L1A1 SLR and the original F88, and we can’t think of any other piece of modern kit that can claim the same longevity, or has captured the imagination quite like the humble FRED.
