Crack Open a Synthehol With Classic Star Trek Bottle Opener

We can't imagine this bottle opener would have any use in the Star Trek universe (rudimentary hyper spanner, perhaps?), but here at home in 2008 anything that reeks of Trek and assists with inebriation is an indispensable tool. As you can see, the metal opener is all sorts of shiny, and is styled after the original Enterprise NCC-1701. The nacelles serve as leverage to help you crack open a Romulan Ale, Cardassian Ale, or just a plain ol' Budweiser. Expect this to hit store shelves at the end of June for about $23. [Red5]

OpenX Hands On

Just got an OpenX plastic container opener and thus far it's been an interesting and useful tool. It is especially great for zipping open DVDs and CDs. Essentially, it's a fork-looking thing with a blade between the two front tines and a small retractable blade on the bottom. The MO is simple—cut a small hole with the lower blade and then get the fork into the little hole and push along until you have it mostly open. Then you tear and gnash at the plastic like a junkie after his rabid fix. More »

Shotgun Beer Opener

To paraphrase the immortal words of Sir Brian Wilson, Esq, God only knows what I'd be without the Shotgun Beer Opener. When I used to shotgun my Natty Bo, it was a race with time and pain—can I crack the six pack, down the fizzy gold, and hit my job at the drug store within the 30 minutes between waking and the inevitable headache. Now, all I have to do to get the sweet nectar of Bacchus' brother, Lowenbrau, into my gullet is pop the can with this red plastic opener and shoot. You can only buy these in bulk, but they make great bridal party gifts. More »
