Well, there’s finally a bit more detail about the product. Over a decade late, but here it is:

Oh, wow. Had completely forgotten about that (no surprise). It does actually exist!
And five minutes to explain how it works. Rather, THAT it actually works. Maybe it even comes with a manual to explain how to make it work…
Can’t quite imagine why one would need a tool to open a screw-cap. But if one does, surely a pair of tongue-and-groove pliers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongue-and-groove_pliers) must be more effective (and cheaper).
Thanks for sharing this gem. :-)
Pliers sadly don’t grip around a cap, and a vise grip can shatter the glass. About the only equivalent can be bought on Amazon as a jar or bottle opener for about the same price (now, but back in 2009 The Butterly was a good bit more). But if you have guests over who like the class and style of struggling to rip off a fused Stelvin screw top cap with a pliers, go for it!
Per, I incorporated your thoughts into an update of the video. Makes it more complete and understandable. Thank you!!
