: All in all a multi functional tool!

May also cut down on the trips to the dentist for those broken teeth. Some bottles are difficult to open.

I have never heard it called a "church key." How is it at fending off gators. I had a big one (12ft) let me know I was in it's home a few weeks ago. They normally ignore me or dash into the water to avoid me. This one came off the log, came toward me and never put her head under. Being the nature lover I am, I put the camera down and respected the wishes of the gator and left her home (could have pulled a skier behind me the first 20 - 30 feet). Female gators are known for protecting their nests by charging and snapping their jaw, but this one seemed either too curious or ready to fight the bigger gator (my Guillemot) for the territory. Eventful day none-the-less.

I think the tool I cut out last night will work well and won't take away from the beauty of the deck when in place. Waiting for epoxy to set b4 I try it though.
