Hermetus Bottle Opener & Resealer

The Hermetus Bottle Opener is not your usual bottle opener. The resealing function is what sets this gadget apart.

  7. Actually … it IS a pretty usual bottle opener – and has been for decades.

    Next up: The tin opener. Amazing kitchen gadget that cuts through steel! #wishlisted

  8. 8 bucks, really? Maybe we could Exchange a bunch of these for something useful from the States like this http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.156870426.jpg. You can get that.super opener you wishlisted at every supermarket Round here.

  9. Love the opener, but am not at all happy with the folks selling it. (Ordered it 9/16 — still haven’t gotten it AND I haven’t heard back from them). I realize you cannot possibly vouch for all the businesses you link to, but I just thought you should know. I hope you have better luck tracking one down than I am!

  11. no sweat…you can easily get it at Amazon.de
    There’s plenty…they sell around 4,5 $ plus shipping (which might make it unattractive for a single item, but hey, maybe someone wants to start a business here). In case someone is willing to exchange for some US stuff (see my post above)…be my guest.

  12. by the way, theres a third function (see the icons):
    1. it opens the usual no-twist-beercaps
    2. it reseals bottles
    3. it opens screw caps (in case they became stuck, for example those bar syrups you never use)
