Can’t manage twist-off bottle caps without tearing up your hands? Keep this fast-acting Be Open bottle opener handy at a party and your friends will love using something unique. Plus, it makes a great gift. To use, simply push the cylinder down quickly and firmly on any beer or soda bottle and off comes the cap--amazingly easily. Not much strength is required. The cylinder basically pops up on its own thanks to a metal spring device.

The Be Open works on both twist-off and regular bottle caps, and is available in different finishes to match any kitchen or bar décor (the plastic model, stamped with the Be Open logo, is considerably lighter in weight than the stainless-steel model). Measuring 3-1/2 by 2 inches, the bottle opener comes in a clear, vinyl drawstring bag with an illustrated instruction tag. --Ann Bieri
