    I invented this in about 1995, and you can buy them here if you don't want to make them...

    the only difference is that I decided to weld the chain to the sprocket. MUCH quicker to make.

    engraved with your name on them? For 12 bucks each, I'd want MY name on them

    Very cool and for a worthy cause! I assume that a stainless chain is best. A nickel plated chain may cause skin rashes (although you may argue that for beer this is worth it). Will a regular chain tend to rust?

    thats a really neat idea, you could probably mod it to allow the chain to wrap around the opener to make it fit in a pocket or use a smaller gauge chain to make it a neck ornament. keep up the cool mods
