But you really should have shown a video of opening a beer with this tool! BTW...in a lot of households and places of business, it's the female of the species - or both sexes - who use the tools, even heavy tools like this. Back in the day, a business partner and I spent hours tearing out moldy built-in cabinetry using ordinary pry bars and the like. Nasty job! So nobody should assume it's only a guy thing!

It takes some practice but works everytime and I always know where it is. My favorite bottle opening trick is using my wedding band.

Like the FUBAR, it worked, but there are better, more efficient tools for the job. You can kill a fly with a hammer too, but why would you want to?
