Orvis has something better than a church key, and a video to match. :roll:

LOL! Ive done this as a kid... with pop bottles. But recently I had a couple teeth bonded, so I don't see this happening anymore.;-)

That said,... A review on how well a cheap bottle opener works. That takes the cake.

So it works. Whodathunkit? :roll:

I'd never pay 6 bucks for the privilege of advertising for someone else. Not when I can do the same job with a free one or an opener costing about a buck and fits on your key chain that they probably sell where you bought that overprices brew in the first place. If you need a name on it, buy a Sharpie.

Most fit on a key chain, but you can also tape one to the cooler. If you don't have a dedicated opener, many things work, like metal fence posts, the guard rail at the parking lot of your favorite "special" place, certain spots on your car... lots of things. Figure it out. All you need a hard edge, and the heel of your hand. But hey, if you need a "special" opener to make you feel cool, have at it. But do you really need to see a review for that?

If I have a bottle that needs opening, I can pretty much always find a way to open it without a special opener.

Bottle caps can also be removed on most farm equipment.;-)

I lose a tiny bit of respect for anyone that can't open a beer with a lighter. 🙂

I carried a lighter and drank beer for years without learning the lighter technique, I think at one of the Jams. In any case, it looks like magic to someone who has never seen it. Heineken can be tricky, though. Usually takes me two pry points to remove them. Fortunately, I don't purchase it that often. On the other hand, Miller High Life twists off.

Amen brother !

However I have always admired Ermal Fraze

 
Your iron City beer was the first to use pop top-remember it well-1962
 
I don't smoke cigarettes, but if I did, I'd carry a Zippo, not a Bic.





 
I carried a fake zippo for a while when I was younger. It said "Have a Nice Jay" in frosty letters (like the ones in ICEE machines). It had a few other pictures on it as well, including a mushroom and a japanese maple leaf.

I always planned on buying a real one if I could hold on to it for a year or two. I could not. Furthermore, I set my bed on fire trying to refill it with lighter fluid.
 
I've used edges of cabinets/tables already. I've improvised and used the pocket clip on my billfold knife to pry them open. Made sure I put a good ol fashon one from and old gas station from the 70's in the pop up camper for my wehanistapher's. Those old spade ones with the can punch on them don't magle the caps so you can replace the cap and not get crap in them. Then again, drinking the beer fast fixes that issue.

I do have a real one that my little brother scratched his name into. He gave it to me.

Plus I have a fake Zippo which is actually made for lighting a pipe. It had belonged to my dad, but I think I bought it for him as a Christmas present when i was a kid and couldn't afford a Zippo (or didn't know any better). That one never leaves the house because of sentimental value. He used it for many years.

I'm sure some of you are familiar with the Zippo Guarantee. Well, my older brother had one once that they ran over it with a dump truck where he used to work. To finish it off, they hammered it flat with a sledge. They then sent it back to Zippo to see what they would do. Zippo must have known what was going on and had a sense of humor about it, because they managed to remove the inside, straighten and fix the case, and inserted new inside and sent it back. I'm sure it would have been cheaper to send him a new one, but this was way better.
 
I toured the zippo factory in Bradford pa and the examples in the return dept were really cool. One had a bullet in it saved the guy from getting shot.
 
I got that Simms opener for free when I made a donation to TU. I wouldn't have paid for it, but the fact that the tail can be used as a cigar punch in a pinch makes it worth carrying.
