    Default Bottle openers (and a bonus video)

    I have to admit, I'm a bottle opener geek. I've got one on every keyring: One from WARN, one from a parts company, and even one from Tiffany, which was a gift. I've got a bunch at home; I collect 'em. One of my favs (which is not on the key ring) is the Klein Tools 98002, or I like to call it the "Model 5:30."



    Do you have an opener that travels with you? I use the one on my keyring for beer when I'm traveling. When we're traveling and need to open a bottle of vino, we've got a mini corkscrew. It was cheap, but it folds into one, compact unit.



    And I just saw this, and thought—everyone's had to do this at some point.

    I've travelled with a Victorinox Swiss Army Knife with corkscrew since I was given my first one as a little kid (long before I'd tasted wine!) almost fifty years ago. Still my go-to tool. I use a Climber or a Compact.

    When I'm home, I have a little more choice. As a vintage bike guy this is one of my favorites:

    The little plastic corkscrew travels in my toiletries bag. One night trying to dig a cork out with keys and a nail file did it for me!

    Used to be Molars number 14, 15, 18 & 19.
    But I chipped number 18, broke a bottle in my mouth and grew up some.

    Now it's some quality W. German pot metal.

    My buddy works for Mercedes corporate and we have a MB swag wine opener that works wonders on the brew as well.
    The wine stoppers are all classic MB shift knobs, btw. Pretty cool.
    Safety fast,

    My favorite.





    I also have one of these.... Cost me $7000.00, but it came with a free dirtbike.





    And my brother gave me one of these. Except it came from Matco....

    Nothing fancy. I stole the pic from an ebay listing.
