Creative way of removing crimp on bottle caps

[gicts]

I've never needed to use anything but the edge of a counter top or SWMBO's teeth.

Dunno what the other toothless hillbillies here in Ky use though

I think the list of things I haven't used to open a beer with would be shorter that what I have used. if an object is fairly solid with a corner or lip it can and most likely will be used.

a few that haven't been listed yet:

rocks
bricks
an axe
metal spatula
paint can opener

I like the rock one the best. When I'm outside with no tools or anything around and I don't want to f up my pocket knife . . I look around, thinking "ok, I need a rock with a nice little edge on it . . where are you, where are you . . a ha!". It's an empowering feeling.

paint can opener - they're designed for it. i used to work at a very relaxed paint store and that was the saturday usual (the new store, not so much) it's actually what i use most of the time now, becuse the magnet on the fridge holds those better than a "real" bottle opener.

i've used my s-biner, picinic table, screwdriver, bic lighters (learned that one the first time i ever got drunk), cell phones, open-end wrench, an ipod, all kinds of stuff. but now it's mostly the s-bined or paint can opener (i quit smoking)

Wedding ring while on the finger. WIFE LOVES THAT!!!
Takes some practice before it doesnt hurt or about rip off your finger.

But if its a matter of getting a beer open, anything goes.

This has got to be the most expensive way of doing it!

YouTube - Helicopter Opens Beer

-1

I was kind of hoping they would use the rotor to open them. Disappointed!

Yeah....I had to put a stop to that after noticing it would occasionally leave little dents around the edge. I need a stronger ring, I guess.

OMG - in the helicpoter video - has the cameraman never heard of a tripod? I needed 5 hits of dramamine to finish watching that!

Was he jumping up and down on purpose, christ that was rough.

my best was an axe from the fire house.
slide on a framing gun.
Always use the one on my sandals.
shift knob on my stick shift.
drawstring on shorts.

I just tried a cd to open a beer but all I succeeded in was breaking a cd. I about broke a pen after that then just turned to the old reliable bottle opener.

 

[rustbucket]

omg i have found so many just having trouble thinking of them

counter edges
brick edges
lighters
needle nose pliers (mainly just because i was to lazy to walk across teh room to get a bottle opener)
closed back side of knife
school book
spoon
and many more.. (sad day when you lose or miss place/dont have a bottle opener)

flip a bike upside down, start pedaling, and stick the bottle in the spokes. cap pops right off. don't do this with a newer road bike though. I used my 1980s dawes which weighs about two thousand pounds compared to anything with an aluminum (I prefer aluminium) frame.

My German girlfriend used to use her teeth in a pinch.

oh....and my reefs....they have bottle openers on the bottom, so as long as its warm outside, i don't have this problem

 

[BlueZooBrewing]

My usual go to bottle opener is my US Air Force Academy class ring. Really its the only value I can find out of the damn thing. The first time I went to use my wedding band in the same way I got enough daggers in the look from SWMBO to pin me against the wall.

Reliable backups...
Climbing carabiner
Climbing nut tool
Parachute 3 ring (the system that allows a bad main chute to release)
Hook Knife
Edge of wallet
