It may be easiest for you to hold the bottle opener with your dominant hand.

After you wedge the sharp edge of the bottle opener under the bottle cap, the opposite edge of the cutout section should be resting on the top of the bottle cap.

Don’t have a key? Use a metal utensil like a butter knife or spoon instead.

Some countertops may get chipped or scratched if you try to open a beer bottle on them.

Be careful not to slam your hand down so hard that you hurt yourself.
