Best tool with bottle opener... Style CS, Curve, or other?

[John]

Thanks for all the suggestions and the welcome!  I guess I have more to look at than I realized.  In regards to Swiss Tech, how is the bottle opener on the Utili-key?

Not as good as the one I posted

not what your looking for but hey its cool

also the swiss tech multimax 19in1 has a bottle opener when you open the pliers as far as they can. Good tool, and fits on a keychain nicely. easy to remove from the keychain for use.

The answer is of course, "none of the above".

Why?

Well, it's simple really..

Why carry a bottle opener tool on your keychain, when your keychain itself is a bottle opener?

May I present the following elegant solution: http://www.niteize.com/products/s-biner-ahhh


I have one, it is excellent, you need one, end of story.

I remember seeing that S-biner, does indeed seem like a good, full size solution

I'm glad I asked about this.  I consider myself a pretty thorough product researcher before buying something, but y'all are showing me tools I have never seen!

That's one of many dangers to your wallet here mate..

I really rather like the Gerber Solstice.  Awesome pair of scissors, two good screwdrivers and a can opener to boot (one that works well, I might add).  They're discontinued, but they're still readily available and you get 'em for a song (I got one for a dollar).

Well this contradicts my post, but I just discovered the SA Cadet after poking around here, and am seriously just leaning towards getting one of those.  I like the idea of a slim SAK with all the tools I want from the full size.  I may still get a keychain tool for the heck of it, but I like that Cadet!

You can't go wrong with the Cadet, it's a great SAK.  Have you seen the Alox Bantam though?  Even slimmer than the Cadet at only one layer think (as opposed to the two of the Cadet), it has the Victorinox combi tool that is a far better cap lifter than the standard one found on the Cadet.

Personally I prefer the Cadet but I thought you might like to know the options.

I'm tempted to try that^

But with my luck, I'd tear my shirt, rip out armpit hairs and spill some beer in the process

or.....be proudly sipping your newly armpit opened beer and suddenly wonder....what the heck is that in my teeth......?

[John]

It's the spilling of beer that would really bother me   

[benhar]

Spilled beer is a sad, sad thing.  My problem with that method is that it doesn't result in me buying a new toy... I mean, tool!

Speaking of which, I have a Cadet on the way; I think I like it better than the Bantam.  But I still may pick up a Style CS at some point
