# Solid Steel Openers The Machine Era Bottle Opener Would Be Your Most Robust Bar Implement By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-12-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steel-opener References: [betterlivingthroughdesign](http://www.betterlivingthroughdesign.com/accessories/bottle-opener/) & [machine-era](http://www.machine-era.com/collections/catalog/products/bottle-opener) You can pry the cap off of a cold one with something less robust than cold-formed steel opener, but given the option, wouldn't it be ideal to own such a hardwearing utensil? Made by Machine Era, this top popper is a solid bar of metal that can withstand extensive falls, being run over by a truck, and can effectively provide you with access to more bottles of beer than you could consume in a lifetime. The basic form of this steel opener is rectangular with an equally angular notch designed to facilitate leverage. On the other end, a brown leather strap is threaded through, providing another way to grip the bottle opener. All-round, this product is durable and high-quality, and it would make a very effective giveaway to entice men to new brands of beer. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.8/10 - Popularity: 82% | Activity: 54% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Solid-steel Openers:** The trend of robust and durable bottle openers made from solid steel provides opportunities for innovative designs and materials. - **Extensive Falls Resistance:** The trend of bottle openers that can withstand extensive falls and heavy impact opens up opportunities for creating more rugged and durable bar implements. - **Multi-functional Bar Tools:** The trend of bottle openers with additional features, such as leather straps for added grip, highlights opportunities for creating multi-functional bar tools. ### Who This Affects Most - **Kitchen Utensils:** The kitchen utensil industry can explore the trend of solid-steel bottle openers to create durable and long-lasting bar implements. - **Promotional Products:** The promotional products industry can tap into the trend of robust bottle openers to create unique giveaways that appeal to beer enthusiasts. - **Outdoor and Camping Gear:** The outdoor and camping gear industry can incorporate the trend of extensive falls resistance in bottle openers to create rugged and durable bar tools for outdoor enthusiasts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Complimentary EDC Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-james-brand-titanium-bottle-opener.md) - [Shark Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tacray-shark-pocket-opener.md) - [Dynamic Curved Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dancing-opener.md) - [Decorative Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/decorative-bottle-opener1.md) - [Hidden Bottle Opener Timepieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leverage-watch.md) - [Smart Bottle Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-bottle-opener.md) - [Full-Top Can Openers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/draft-top-pro.md) - [Lightweight Skeletal Multi-Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skeletal-multitool.md) - [Knife-Free Titanium Multitools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/edc-monster.md)
