best bottle opener

This really should be under the Technical section

The best bottle opener I have found on the Pinz is using one of the round holes in the front bumperettes near the middle nose pin. Unfortunately this has the disadvantage of opening the bottle nearly horizontal and therefore precious drops of beer are lost each time. I would bet that the Austrian engineers hid a much better bottle opener in those beautiful angles and notches of the Pinz and I just haven't found it. Help me out, I'm wasting a tablespoon of Fat Tire weekly!

I just ordered 2 for my pinz off the internet one will be mounted near the back tail gate (for obvious reasons) and one on the passenger side so my wife won't cut her hand while opening it. They were 5 bucks each. So far this is the cheapest thing I have put on it.

Buying a Pinzguaer to use as a bottle opener is very decadent. Why don't you just an opener one from a store?

No No No, buy the truck and hang as much crap on it as you can. That is what I am doing. You never know what you will need. It is way better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it!!!!

Oh I know- cans, twist-offs, etc., but inevitably there's some "premium" beer in the cooler calling your name and the bottle opener is missing from its god-given location on the side of the cooler. The tailgate location definitely reduces the number of steps from cooler to open beer. Less is more.

I no longer carry bottle beer, only cans.
Whatever kind it is when it is cold after a trail ride it's good.
Had bottles and after a very bumpy trail, in the desert, the things clanking together somehow emptied themselves in the cooler and I had a cooler full of melted ice (warm water) and beer flavored water.
I now have an ARB cooler and it is always cold when I am done riding. ...but there is no problem here with desert heat.

Be careful with the bottles. We went on a trip last year with bottles, after about 3 hours on the trail I got out to get my wife a beer and we had blown the tops of all but 4. A serious case of alcohol abuse. Cans for now on.

Bottles at the bar only. Cans everywhere else!

I think I just discovered the best (and biggest) bottle opener on the Pinz, the lip underneath the sides. Just slide your bottle under, a slight twist and enjoy!

i just use the seat belt ,if you can open a beer with a lighter you can use the metal part of the seat belt and the best part is you dont have to move
