Bottle openers are one of those sneakily convenient tools to keep on one's person, even if beer isn't your drink of choice, and the Key Kap is a new tool that makes it even easier to carry around the handheld second-degree lever. As its name suggests, the Key Kap attaches directly to one's house key (rather than to a keychain), making it more compact and reducing the amount of items one needs on their everyday carry list.
The Key Kap essentially turns ones house key into the arm of the lever on the bottle opener. The head of the key slides into a slit in the tool, and a small screw then goes through the hole in the head — which is usually reserved for the key ring — thus securing the key and the opener together. The Key Kap still comes with a loop for attaching a key ring, keeping every functional aspect of the key in place while adding easy bottle-opening.
