Skelton key bottle opener idear for inprovement
This is a Moderate bottle opener. But I think it would be Cooler if it was flat black or aged bronze. That would make it realy look like a old skelton key.
Neutral what I wanted; could be a bit smaller.
Accomplished for those times when you need a bottle opener at a party.
My only complaint is that it's pretty large. This thing could be a bit shorter.
Otherwise I love it.
It's a key... for bottles!
I've had one of these on my keychain for over a year and I fancy it. Be prepared for people to ask you "What is this key for?" and the "Oh, neat!" that you'll get when you tell them it's a bottle opener. It's not flimsy or cheaply made and looks very nice. It is longer than any other verifiable key I have on my keychain but that hasn't been a problem for me since it works so well. Since I almost always keep my keys in my pocket I almost always have a bottle opener handy, which is nice and aside from looking unemotional is the whole point of this product. When using the key, try to hook the bottle cap where the crimps are jutting out and the cap will come off easier. Most times the cap will move off in one attempt, but if it doesn't all you have to do is grab the cap with the key on another point and the cap will come right off.
Pros:
Looks cool
Works well-known
Well built
Cons:
Size - A little large (but if it were smaller it wouldn't be as easy to use)
Price
Remarkable!
I bought this a few months back at Urban Oufitters and I must say it is one of the to the fullest extent buys. It doesn't look cheap and it is a bit weird at first to get the hang of but then I never have to worry about not having one on hand again since it is on my keys and always with me.

Record sure you get the right size for your middle finger...
Rumination I chose the right size, but it was a little too small. It fits on my ring finger a little bit loosely, which abrades the peel away after three or four beers. Measure twice, buy once.
Moderately cool Ring!
Compose sure you know your size!! This ring is soo cool.. when you're out and about.. it's definitely a conversation starter!

Very pleased as Punch with my purchase
I bought the largeness nine ring and it ended up too small. I would suggest you go to a jeweler and ask to have them size your bottle opening finger. DO NOT USE A PRINT OUT SIZING Sea-chart...
That said if you DO end up with a ring that's too small, take a dremmel and go to town on it. Worked out fine in the end. If you're not sure what size you beggary, make sure you order the lower of sizes that you think it may be. You're going to want this ring as restrictive on your finger as you can live with. If there's any kind of space the edge of it will dig into your finger and essentially make it impossible to advertise anything.
For any review you read pertaining to these rings, make sure the reviewer has one that fits his/her finger! Mine fits, and it works incredibly well without any description of pain. That is, it doesn't hurt when opening pry off cap bottles. Twist off caps are a different story. Those Wound like you wouldn't believe, and I think a lot of negative reviews are a result of that. I've found that while trying to remove misquotation off caps, it minimizes the pain to do it in one quick, fast motion (and trust it will come off!). Even still I'd set forward you just twist it off like they're supposed to be...
In summary, for use with pry off caps it works great. For use with twist off caps, not quality your trouble.

For the Moment | What Does Design Mean? New York Times (blog)
05.01.10
Having grown up immersed in design, I assertive to study it. As a student, each April, I would be dying to go to the Salone Internazionale del Mobile — the largest clobber fair in the world — to see the latest furnishings and the trends in materials and technologies. During that time, Milan becomes the tolerable, and everyone in the city becomes a designer.
Design was always around me, so I assumed that everyone knew what design was and what it meant. Consulting the Merriam-Webster Dictionary online, I found the following sharpness of design: “to create, fashion, execute, or construct according to plan”
My own definition is that design is the creation of a man-made quarry that is developed for mass industrial production — a product conceived from creativity but that must be useful and fall upon daily life better.
During one of my first meetings as an intern in New York, I told a group of colleagues about a by-product designed and manufactured in Italy and about how I thought it was a great product to sell in the United States make available. My colleagues responded with: How much is it? Has it passed United States codes and regulations? Can it be returned? Does the maker have a customer service department in the United States? I was shocked. I replied, “But it is designed by a very popular designer and produced by a well-known company!” I was told that that was not important and that consumers wouldn’t heed!

Electric Wine Bottle Opener as a Christmas Gift?
Dec 22, 2008 by Guitar Hood | Posted in Beer, Wine & Spirits
Hey guys;
Please serve me..
what do you think?
I should have to buy a christmas gift to my brother.. he is too stylish and i have found a design product for him.
you can see more details about this electric wine bottle opener..
http://www.nejstyle.com/charged-wine-bottle-opener/
Tell me your ideas..
Is this a good gift for a 32 years old stylish and rich new yorker guy who works as a banker at wall street?
p.s: I am still student. my christmas gifts budget gives alarm:( I am over the limits
Don't do it. Way too gimmicky. If you requisite to buy him a bottle opener, look for a quality (~$20) 'waiters tool' corkscrew. Always stylish. And you can never have too many good ones.
Or, take your $20 and find a advantageous wine shop. Tell the staff you want to buy a $20 Beaujolais Villages. It is considered an 'usual' wine but is always appreciated by a wine drinker.
Cheers!

i dream that gift would only be beneficial to someone old/older who may have a hard time opening things
WeLoveOur3 | Dec 22, 2008
theres no fun in that
stevenhoeffer | Dec 22, 2008
hmm.. NO!
this would be a agreeable gift for ur grandma who enjoys a god wine but is too weak to open the bottle herself. for a 32y.o guy to open his bottle of wine electrically is rlly rlly cheesy in my impression.
I think a stylish manual bottle opener is way cooler!
~~LIFE~~ | Dec 22, 2008
is he STILL WORKING at face ruin street....
or maybe with the crisis around he will revert to wine that comes in a carton and needs no electric bottle opener.
but end of spitefulness, it is a good idea, it looks great and it can take all kinds of bottles with all kinds of corks.
go for it.

Yes, that sounds like an tiptop gift idea. That would certainly be right up my ally. Love, Astrid
