Title: Surge's other bottle opener
Post by: ratslash7 on January 27, 2009, 03:41:30 PM: I had some friends over on Saturday and one of them brought some imported beers. I had my Surge on my belt and instead of opening the iffy combo' can/bottle opener, I used the hinge end of the folded tool using the "disposable lighter method". It worked very well. In fact, better than a disposable lighter.

I thought this worth sharing with the only freaks who would care.

" That freak fixed my car door."

" That freak fixed the lamp."

"That freak can see in the dark and he sewed my button back on."

I thought Freak was a good thing.

I agree that being called a freak can be a compliment :)
