Palacknyitó

Palacknyitó is the Hungarian word for bottle opener. It refers to a tool used to remove crown corks from bottles, most commonly those used for beverages like beer and soft drinks. These openers typically consist of a metal lever with a small, flat lip or hook at one end that fits under the edge of the crown cork. The other end is usually held in the hand, allowing the user to apply leverage and pry the cap off the bottle.

There are various designs of palacknyitó, ranging from simple, handheld tools to more elaborate ones integrated into other objects like pocket knives or multi-tools. The most common type is the flat, rectangular bar opener, often found attached to keychains or as promotional items. Winged bottle openers, which use two handles that pivot upwards to provide greater leverage, are also a popular variant. While the basic function remains the same, the design can influence the ease of use and portability of the palacknyitó. Its primary purpose is to facilitate access to bottled beverages.
