Don't forget the safety glasses.
Not real sure of the quality.
I found the Snap On version. It is Blue Point and here are the spec's. I guess I can't recomend these because I have used them. They are inexpensive so one could try them without being out too much.

I did the same to a big ol (and cheap) long flat bladed screw driver. Took it to my bench grinder made a small v notch in the tip for push applications. Then I made a hook cut into the edge for the pull applications.
Simple & effective & cheap.
I'm thinking the longer ones would work better for removing cans.
