Have you ever sliced your index finger open trying to twist open a crown-style bottle top? Then you’ll appreciate the Bottlemate – a bottle opener that has a magnet in it. What’s not to like?

There’s not a lot to write about it – it opens all types of bottles and has a magnet to catch the cap after it’s done its job. They cost $9.95 each, although you get a bit of a discount if you buy in bulk. The website markets it as “Probably the best bottle opener in the world”, and they’re probably right. Probably.

    Bollocks, nothing the bottom of your t-shirt can’t do already :P lmao.
    Failing that, a small piece of that cheap not-slip matting stuff is good, that works on coke bottles as well :)

    These are cool! One of my mates had one of these at a BBQ! I just bought 5 for Xmas presents. Website must be back up now!

    I bought something very similar to this (read: identical, minus the brand name in question here), after seeing it on Diggnation three years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=876DlzmRql4

    Even still, it’s nice to have an Australian supplier. I’ll be sure to get some.

    I’ll be grabbing a bunch of these. I was at a party and a friend of mine had one of these bottle mates, it was a real crowd pleaser and I think the magnet used is actually a chick magnet!
