Looking for the perfect bottle opener and key dangler. I've tried so many... the Scout Hook, Munroe Dangler, the Anso Biner, etc... but none of them are quite perfect. Here's what I'm looking for:

1) Has to be a key dangler + bottle opener. I don't really want anything more than that, so no "knucks" etc with a pointy hook aka bottle opener jammed on. But if it meets the other criteria it would be OK
2) Has to be a GOOD bottle opener. As in, good leverage on it, opens bottles in one shot
3) When opening a bottle, keychain attachment point has to be away from the bottle (ie not like the Munroe Dangler where you have to jostle your keys around to actually get the opener in place)
4) Relatively small size

Any recommendations? I know I'm anal but if the perfect piece is out there I want to have it! Thanks guys!

no actual "bottle opener" is needed. rather try this.... put left hand at the top of the bottle neck directly to cap, use any flat item in right hand and put it between under side of cap and your left hand, use upward presure from left index finger and hand combined w/ downward presure on back of item in right hand , cap will pop off every time, you will be cool. i learned this leverage method using a bic lighter. any object w/ a mostly 90 degree angle will do it. you could just drill a hole in about any thing you please and attach to your keyring.

the only time i like to see a "bottle opener" is in the back pocket of my bartender Molly's jeans......

Yep I learned this years ago myself! It works great and is simple at least in execution. Reading your directions made me a bit dizzy but to be fair unless your learning by watching it's hard to put directions into words.

GEC Tube Popper. They're like $3, are long enough to provide good leverage, and are thin enough to not add much weight to your keychain. I have mine positioned to the front side of my key fob for my wife's Ford, and it also prevents any unwanted button pushing.

I would write it somehow like this:

Choke the neck of the bottle, insert prying tool such as bic lighter between your index finger and under the cap so that the prying tool is tightly in between, pry and pop.

It gives a nice loud pop. I almost killed an Italian with heart attack once in restaurant who seemed to have humongous diabolical hangover on him.

i'd seen it done for years, couldn't get the hang of it. until my plant manager actually made me do it and talked me through it. once i did it, i couldn't believe how something so simple could baffle me for so long.

not to brag, but my friends and i are pretty smart guys. we still ended up in the emergency room after my buddy drove the neck of a beer bottle into his finger, trying to use a parking meter post as a bottle opener. lighters are so much easier, possibly cleaner, and to my knowledge, safer. learn to do it in case you lose your keychain bottle opener. or carry a bk11...

I think you nailed it. And that's frickin hilarious! [emoji23]

Thank you for all the suggestions guys, but what I am really looking for is a tool that combines bottle opener AND key dangler. Lots of good suggestions here for bottle openers but they aren't also key danglers.

I have this one on order, seems to check all my boxes. I'll let you all know how it turns out.

Misunderstood the dangled part, my bad. My Leatherman Carabiner has been awesome the last 3 years.

Unless, somehow, a carabiner "dangles" keys from a belt loop differently than a "key dangler". Then, I can't help you.
