precision bottle opener

originally i made a handful of these things for our wedding back in october as gifts and as a demonstration for friends and family that had not seen the machine shop before. they are made from 7075 t-6 aluminum and weigh about as much as 5 zip-ties… it fits nicely on your keychain so you’ll always be prepared in case your special lady friend needs her zima bottle opened. nevermind that it’s a twist-off, it’s way classier to use this fine device. they are shiny, functional and a good conversation starter. shipping is included.

that was just a hypothetical situation…

i mean, if you were in a position where your lady wanted a zima then you’ve got no real choice… and maybe i had a sip… but that was as far as it went!

Just got my opener today. Fucking sweet.
It’s a little smaller than I expected, but (as you said) it fits quite nicely on the key chain. Plus, I think it works a little better than longer ones. Nice and light, but solid.
Already popped open a couple bottles of hombrew just to test it out (even though they’re twist off too). Beauty.

so i got mine today and the envelope was thrashed but the bottle opener was perfect so i know it can take some abuse like falling off your bike. light and perfect size. took something simple and made it fancy best bottle open i have bought to date
