Description
A metal bottle opener that fixes to a wall, with a catcher — usually a small fabric bag or hard tray — mounted underneath to catch the cap as it drops after opening. You press the bottle up and pull down or across, one-handed, and the cap falls into the catcher instead of skittering across the floor. It comes with mounting screws; check whether your wall needs its own wall plugs or anchors, since these aren't always included and stud walls or plasterboard usually need one.
This is worth fitting somewhere you open bottles repeatedly in the same spot — a garage, shed, utility room, or a fixed home bar — rather than somewhere you'll want to move it around. It needs a genuine screw fixing into a solid surface to take repeated pressure; it's not suited to a rented flat where you can't drill, or to plasterboard without proper anchors. If you just want an opener for occasional kitchen use, a handheld one with a built-in catcher, or a plain opener in a drawer, is simpler and needs no installation. Empty the catcher regularly rather than letting caps pile up and jam it.
