Dear reddit, I have one of these, but I can't for the life of me figure out what the top bit is for. [PIC]

Dear reddit,
I know of the Google, but I know not how to use it to find answers to mundane questions that seem obvious to 99.9% of the population...

How do you query google if you don't even know what that thing is called, much less when you have to indicate a certain part of it? So FuckYourStatement

Logic might suggest that with two points of action, it's a multi-use -- or 'combination' utensil. OP implied knowing what a bottle opener is. Do a simple search on 'combination bottle opener' and you'll find a product that lists a combination bottle/can opener that looks just like this.
Do a shopping search on the same query and it's the second product listed, also with an adequate description.
This isn't rocket surgery.

The next thing will be, 'Dear reddit, can you spell check this document for me?'

I think it's for opening the tab on a can.

It's for attaching the opener to your keyring!

Mind Blow...I never thought of that before either.

In use it's the bottom bit so that could be part of your problem.

When I read the thread and looked at the picture, I thought, "Who the hell doesn't know how a keyring works?"
But yeah, beer cans. I've got a friend who can't open tabs with his fingers and has one of these on his keys for that very purpose. I find front teeth work just as well without making keys more cumbersome.

Now where can I get one?

This is the best key chain ever. I've been carrying mine for 10 years and it always comes in handy. But I do open my own cans.

It's for opening cans with tabs.

Damned leprosy.
That's got to look really odd. Do you have toenails? I don't think I've ever heard of someone not having fingernails.

I use my teeth :-|

You really oughtn't do that. You could easily chip one.
Because you a fancy man who's too good to use his fingers.
Or you're a woman with expensive nails.

Sometimes they're too close to the surface and too stiff. I usually grab a coaster just to pry it up far enough for fingers to grab it.
not sure... webbed fingers maybe.
If you are a bartender unfortunate enough to work at a place that serves can beer, it would be a lifesaver.
Why would you need a special tool for opening bottles?
It opens bottles too.
I think it goes back to when pull-tabs were common and you actually had to pull the little piece off the can completely. those edges were sharp.
I think you owe him the life of you.
