Having friends over for a few bottled beverages poses the aged old problem of who gets served first?.

After extensive research and experimentation this problem is coming close to being solved with the 'MultiOpener'. It means a cold one can be cracked open for all your friends at the same time.

Skill is required, so practise often.

The six openers pictured above were made from a single piece of wood. Wooden paint stirrers can also be used.

Supplies

A wooden paint stick or similar piece of wood

A screw or something similar

Step 1: Construction Stage 1 : the Drilling

Drill a hole in the paint stirring stick near one end.

Step 2: Construction Stage 2: the Screwing

Screw in a screw (I used 8G 18 mill, sheet metal, because I had some on hand) into the drilled hole, leaving about a centimetre or so out. Make sure the underside of the screw is ftat, so it can grab onto the underside of a bottle top.

That's one version complete.

Step 3: New, Improved!

An improved version can be made from suitable hard wood. Cut to 15 -18 cm lengths. Make 6 of them.
Drill a hole in each, about 1 cm from an end and screw in a suitable length screw having a suitable head which will grip the lip of a bottle top.

To use: place on top of a bottle, so the screw catches an edge of the bottle top. Press down to leaveage the top off.

Step 4: Ready to Launch

Place each one on top of a beverage in a 6 bottle pack.
Open all at once by striking down with both palms of your hands against the wooden sticks.
Vola! Your beverages are opened at the same time and can then be handed out to your friends.
