BottleMate is perfect for bottle cap collectors

November 4, 2009 @ 12:34 am

An Australian company has developed a neat little tool called the BottleMate that easily pops the caps off of bottles while preserving their circular shape. Normally, if you have to open a bottle with a sealed cap, you end up bending it somehow with a bottle opener which really messes up the shape of the cap itself.

In any case, this is a pretty neat product I think and something that might make me start a personal collection of bottle caps just for fun. Thanks Dan for the heads up on this!

Brass knuckle cork screw

If the last place you thought you’d see brass knuckles was at the end of a cork screw, then the guys at Chromoly have done their job right. You see, they wanted to juxtapose the complete opposite sides of the socio-economic spectrum by fusing a glorified street weapon with an upper-class activity (wine drinking, apparently). Not entirely practical, but I doubt anybody expects it to be. Looks nice though.

Zyliss multi-mouse 3-way opener

Zyliss, a kitchen gadgets and tools company based in Switzerland, makes a whole mess of useful tools for turning any kitchen into a cook’s playground. One of the tools I think is rather simple but most definitely helpful is the Zyliss Multi-Mouse 3-way Opener.

This tool can make opening any bottle, can, or top lid easier by giving you a firm grip and some extra leverage over the item you need to be opened.

Buy one at your local retailer for $6.99 (available in red, green, black, and blue).

Zyliss also sells a similar 5-in-1 opener tool shown below. But honestly, it doesn’t look as cool and it’s not as cheap. Plus, it only comes in white. BOOOORRRRIINNNGGG.
