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.

Failing that, a small piece of that cheap not-slip matting stuff is good, that works on coke bottles as well :)

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