The most unique bottle cap opener anywhere!  Mark Connors in CT, a good
customer, said he had a great idea for a bottle opener and sent me a prototype
that he turned from wood (pic above).
It is very popular because no one can figure out what it is until you show them how it works!

The can tab lifter is one-of-a-kind and makes opening soup cans, etc. easy.
