Proper Tool Usage??????
Last night was working on the ’58 exhaust leak for several hours and decided to take a break. Sat down to enjoy a cool one and what happens – that little tab broke off the pop-top! Went to the toolbox looking for the proper tool to open a cool one and thinking to myself “ what would the CCC or a real Corvette Mechanic use to open a beer can with a broken pop top”. I’m at a loss for a answer so ----- my question is “What is the proper tool to use when you break the tab off of a cool one”? :rolleyes:

No toolbox should be without one, in case of "emergency" :D

In a pinch, use a screwdriver and a hammer! Make 2 opposite holes and enjoy.

I too had that problem only once. Solved it by brewing my own and putting a tap on the fridge in the garage. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:
