Taza Pop-The-Top Beer Bottle Opener (Rustproof): Push Down, Pop Off Bottlecaps No Damage - by Taza

Product Information

Had Fraze remembered his church key at that 1959 picnic—had he never been forced to wield his car fin as a can opener—we might not have the modern pop-top. But the owner of Dayton Reliable Tool Company, a machine tool business, did forget his church key, and while the episode maddened him at the time, it had him uttering that age-old inventors’ creed: “There must be a better way.” Using a bottle opener is simple and straightforward. For church key types, simply place the flat end underneath the bottle cap and press down to pull it off. From the early 1960s to the early ’70s, the zip-top was the world’s go-to tab. “Fraze was riding the wave of aluminum,” says Liebhold. “Cans were historically made of steel. But steelworkers, these big, bruising people, were more focused on railroads and bridges, not lightweight cans. This allowed the aluminum industry to compete, to take over the can industry. And, curiously, it’s easier to make a pop-top out of aluminum than steel. It was a bizarre alignment of forces.”

The pop-top may seem like a simple invention. But by the time Fraze came around, the gadget was 150 years in the making. On cans and can openers Pros : Self-described as the “latest” bottle opener for weak-handed people, the Otstar certainly puts on a show with its six-functions-in-one jar opener, five-in-one jar and bottle opener, silicone jar gripper pad, dual-purpose corkscrew, beer bottle opener tool. It’s hard to describe the jar opener and jar and bottle opener, so we’re grateful for the product images that depict their multisize and multipurpose functionality. The silicone jar gripping pad does just about everything, too: It gives a superior grip and works as a hot pad, trivet, or potholder. After this, there’s no need to explain the dual corkscrew-bottle opener. A church key is a small, double-edged metal tool found in many kitchen drawers—one side is triangular-tipped for piercing metal cans, the other rounded for opening bottles. (The bottle-opener side resembles the handle of an old-fashioned church key; hence, the name.) In the 1950s, when opening a beer, drinkers punctured a triangular hole in either side of the top of the can—one hole for drinking, the other for airflow.Thanks to the ingenuity of Ermal “Ernie” C. Fraze, we now find ourselves, ice-cold can in hand, listening to the sound of summer: “Pshhh!” “Tsssk!” “Fwshawww!” When using a winged opener, firmly grip the bottle and slide the serrated portion under the lip of the cap. Then, press down on one side of the opener until you hear a “pop” sound as it releases from the bottle. Cons: Assembly is required to mount this bottle opener on the wall. This is made specifically for the classic bottle cap only.

With five different-sized holes, it will fit on all standard-size jars sold in the supermarket. Just place this around the lid, tighten it in your hand, and screw the lid off with ease. The leverage makes opening jars 10X easier. Size: If you’re opening bottles, you need a quality tool that gives you ample leverage. The standard church key or crown cork opener is about seven inches long and one inch wide. Sizes differ according to the type of bottle opener. It might be to decide first what kind of bottle opener you want, then look for the correct size.

Material: A bottle opener should be durable since its purpose is to open well-sealed bottles and cans. Look for one made of stainless steel or quality silicone for a safe grip. Even among stainless-steel options, you’ll find some with silicone parts to provide an anti-slip grip. I personally did not invent the easy-open can end,” Fraze told the New York Times in July 1963. “People have been working on that since 1800. What I did was develop a method of attaching a tab on the can top.” Multi-tool openers will vary slightly depending on model, but the basic premise is to insert the end of the opener into the container and twist until you hear a “pop” or feel it give way.

In 1795, during the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte, troubled by his troops’ spoiling rations, offered a 12,000-franc prize to anyone who might advance food preservation. Fifteen years later, French chef Nicolas Appert finally won Napoleon’s prize by inventing the first hermetically sealed glass container; that same year, 1810, English inventor Peter Durand patented the first tin-coated iron cans. It’s important to keep your bottle opener clean and free from dirt, dust and grime. To do so, simply wipe down your opener with a damp cloth after each use. If the opener is especially dirty, you can also use some mild soap and water to clean it thoroughly.Bottom Line: While you’ll have to break out tools to install this wall-mounted bottle opener properly, it’s not a difficult task.
