church keys

Can puncturing tools

A church key is a handheld opener for bottles or cans.

The bottle opener end pries off caps; the pointed end punctures cans—before pull-tabs, you'd punch two triangular holes in a beer can to pour.

The name may come from the pointed end's resemblance to old church door keys.

Hand me the church key so I can open this bottle.
