To use the famous mantra of the Scouts, 'Be Prepared'. At gadgetshop HQ, we think that Baden Powell certainly had a point, though quite what he'd make of this credit card sized stainless steel marvel we'll never know. A bottle opener from the Wallet Essentials range will certainly give you preparedness for almost all bottle opening eventualities. And a nifty looker it is, too. Its ingenious construction means that although it performs 100% of the functionality of bulkier models, it's flat as a pancake. And flatter than a drop scone. All of which means that if ever there's a shortage of openers at an office do, big family gathering or spontaneous social, all you need to do is whip out your wallet - not to buy a round, but facilitate the accessibility of some serious beer.

Transforming you from gadget guy to instant hero. Truly marvellous. This Wallet Essential comes from a range of such tools from the cutting-edge design gurus at Touch of Ginger (although whether this is an indication of the disproportionate genius of redheads is unclear). Whatever the root of their name, one simply cannot question their design credentials - and this bottle opener is truly first class example of the genre.
