Will the teeth dig into a smooth plastic cap?

I have opened a plastic peanut butter lid, but it was ridged. Not sure about a smooth one. It did not leave marks on metal.

Well, I have had no problem opening mayonnaise jars (plastic screw top), ketchup bottles, mustard bottles, home-canned stuff, beer twist-offs (that seem to require more effort than they used to) -- and my wife and sister-in-law have also been using it -- and none of us have any complaints. Except S-i-L, who is 5' 1/4" and has to stand on tiptoe to reach it.

I have found that only once because initially I turned the bottle the wrong way

I have never tried another cap but you could cut the plastic bit that keeps the top attached and it wouldn't affect how it works.

Yes!! It is such a pain getting that cap off.. You have to take a cloth and gently twist it off. It may not twist off the 1st few times, but it will..just don't squeeze it at the same time...

Hello - you may want to reinforce the mylar at the point of contact with the jaws lest they pierce through.

It's a very hard plastic material. You could probably Leave bite marks if you really tried.

I used it for a cap that fell out and it came loose again the next day after meticulously following the directions. The next day I gave up and went to the dentist who cemented it and used an ultraviolet light on the cap that cured the cement. It's been 3 months now and no problems. I would not recommend it. Your just rolling the dice, and if it comes loose you may end up swallowing it.

I tried to bend the teeth on the attachment though it is plastic, very strong. I am a hairstylist and am using this one temporarily until I get my original CHI gets out of storage.

Depends on your own hand strength. If gripped too tightly, yes. The teeth will dig into the filter. I have done it without tearing up the filter. One suggestion would be to slide a piece of rubber hose over the ends prior to giving your filter that final turn.

I don't think so. I believe these have to somewhat wrap around at least two teeth, one on each side up top.

Hi Bill, I wouldn't know whether it can be used on capped teeth but I do have one capped and use it on that tooth too.

I am not sure it would work without.. the soft plastic is help between the top and bottom teeth.

It comes in the form of a gel cap so no crushing would be involved. Simply open the cap. Whether it's as effective or not, I don't know.

I can't speak to that specifically, but in my Ultra Flosser 100, it caused my handle to leak. The unit couldn't stand the pressure from the sharp angle of the tip. I'd avoid it.

Well, yes probably I guess. Why? It depends on how many beers you've had already and if you don't want to damage your teeth, and don't have a proper opener. The part of this tool that you'd use to open the bottle is super sharp - the tip and curved edge...so it will dig into the cap as you pry it open - yeah, it might work, but why - get a multi-tool or an opener - they are both so cheap.

No. The caps require a bottle that has divots in the glass for the hinge to sit in.

It doesn't. The caps seal them very effectively. The one problem is that the small mouths make filling them with non-pourable stuff--like flavored mayonnaise, which is my main use for them--pretty time-consuming. But it's worth it for the spill-proof and relatively air-tight convenience.

Sorry, but this piece of plastic is fairly ridged. I would not try to shape it or make a radius curve.
