Short of cutting the top off of bottles or hacking through a can, I can not get the Yard Hook's hook to function as a bottle opener without huge amounts of effort. I tried, Guiness, Labatt, Heinken, Corona, and Sam Adams. Some were twist off. Most were not. Since I take this seriously, I will keep trying and continue to post results.

Is there a trick I am missing though? Still far too much effort to open one.
