bottle openers

Pry off caps

A bottle opener is a small handheld tool designed to pry off metal caps from glass bottles, particularly beer and soda bottles.

The most common type has a lip that hooks under the cap's edge and a lever action that bends the cap off.

Bottle openers come in countless novelty forms—mounted on walls, attached to keychains, built into belt buckles—but all share the same basic function.

I always keep a bottle opener on my keyring.
