That's pretty cool. Looks like it doesn't bend the cap either?...

i got it from thinkgeek. was a little pricy imo but totally worth it #12parsecs
pretty much, most bottle openers i've used tend to bend the cap in the middle. with this one, only the edges get bent. pretty nice since can save the caps for an art project down the road.
I'd like to keep them unbent to save the cap with the bottles in my collection. They look better unbent.

My brother and his wife gave me this one for Christmas. Can't wait to bring it on a airplane.

I made my own similar to the Kansas ones a couple pages back.
Used some 1 x 2 maple wood, and sheet metal screws. Rounded off the business end, drilled though for lanyards, though I haven't gotten around to putting them in, 3 years later, and stained them a couple different colors (I made a total of 4 of them) using leftover stain from when I built my bass guitar.
I also have a few other nicer ones, a bartender's style from Harpoon, a mounted one, and a million freebie keychain ones.

I keep this one near the fridge. I think it dates back to the '40s or '50s.
I also carry a credit card opener...never know when I'll need to pop one open.

It works great! At the time I had access to a heat treatment furnace, so I was able to anneal it soft for cutting, then harden it again for wear resistance. Probably unnecessary, but was it fun.

I just got a "gropener" for xmas from my brother. I'm a big fan of it. Keeps the bottle caps completely flat for collecting.

This is the one I have. Always makes someone laugh when I pull it out of my wallet. Also TSA agents look at me funny whenever it goes through the xray machine.
^That's a good one. Those guys that scan everything pulled a tuner muffler outta my bag,thinking it was a bomb part of some kind. I got it from that famous tuner shop in the city Paul Walker lived in. I had to convince his supervisor that it wasn't a plutonium trigger or something. Geez...
I have this one, It's called a Mit Mah bottle opener (I think). You place it over the cap and press down, and a spring loaded mechanism inside pops the cap off without bending it (Great for saving caps for fridge magnets or whatever). It even has a magnet that catches the cap for you.
I got one of those at the Sicilianos Market Homebrew Party a few years ago. Generally the cap ends up somewhere on the counter, but I still use it plenty often.
I also finally mounted a standard wall mount homebrew opener near the door of my garage. Then I saw someone post a similar opener but with a magnet below it on the wall to catch caps. I was trying to figure out what to use to catch caps and that was the answer! In 2 minutes I had a rare earth hard drive magnet screwed in place and it works a treat!
Maybe I should work harder at collecting openers. There are some nice ones on here.
I'd like to find that Star Trek Enterprise opener. That was pretty cool.
Just bought me a butterfly knife opener, plus one for a friend, from Thinkgeek.com. It was difficult to ignore all of the other cool things for sale there.
Thanks! Cool site.
