Who should receive Magnetic Fridge Bottle Opener?

The verdict
A fixture, not a trinket
Give this to the brother-in-law with the beer fridge and it installs itself into his hosting routine for good. Solid, single-purpose, impossible to misplace — though a strong magnet is essential, and some versions catch caps better than others.

Magnetic Fridge Bottle Opener FAQs
Will it scratch the fridge?
Most designs back the magnet with a protective coating, but check the listing — a felt or rubber backing is the safer bet.
Does it work on all fridges?
It needs a magnetic steel surface. Some stainless doors aren't magnetic — the fridge's side usually is.
