The Top-Popper
is pretty self-explanatory in application. The middle finger
runs through the single hole and you make a fist. The body
of the Popper nestles in the palm as the middle finger pulls
it in, leaving about a quarter of an inch or so between the
outside of the middle finger and the inside of the ring. The
insures plenty of stand-off between the two for safety
during impact.
This Top-Popper
is a bit plain, but crazy anodizing in "happy" colors can
provide excellent urban camouflage. This one will probably
get a splash of green, gold, and purple so it looks like
something picked up from a Mardi-Gras parade. There is a
hole drilled on either side to facilitate a ball chain or a
split ring so the end-user can run it along with their keys.
Besides the obvious defensive applications how well does the
Top-Popper function in it's more mundane role? Pretty easy.
All one has to do is put the index finger through the ring
and the thumb on the spine of the curved palm bar. The
hooked edge of the Top-Popper is caught under the lip of the
bottle cap and the outside of the ring lays flat on the top.
All one has to do now is hold the bottle steady and lever
back and the cap pulls right off. Simple.
Overall the
Top-Popper represents the next generation of self-defense
tools in our increasingly paranoid world. It's effective yet
mundane and more importantly plausible. Anyone can carry a
bottle opener. |
