Review on Design Toscano Rocket Bottle Opener by Mark Scoggins

Very disappointing. I really wanted to love this cool design. I don't care if the seams and moldings are uneven because it just adds character. It might have been good talk for my bar, but it was a flop. Yes, I think it's great as art. As a functional thing, it's terrible. The area of the flame is basically too small to fit on a standard bottle cap so it doesn't snag the rim to lift. You CAN keep going around the lid and prying it off in small increments until it pops off, but that's terribly inefficient. I find it easier to uncap a bottle with a spoon, lighter, beer can, or even a dollar bill. Yes indeed. So if you just like retro style to put on a shelf, great. But don't imagine for a second that you're about to rip the cap off a water bottle. Too bad because it COULD be a pretty cool product.
