I thought this would be light, easy to carry, easy to add to my bag... and it is. What it isn't is a bottle opener. I have tried about 10-beer bottles and while perseverance gets the job done, it ain't pretty! There is just not enough leverage... unless there were instructions I didn't get. Especially Sierra Nevada beers. Their tops are pretty well stuck on (since they got rid of those darned twist-off tops, thank goodness) and it's really a chore to get this thing to do the job.
