Knipex Bottle Openers: Possible Group Buy

[pizza]

cool, i sent them everyone's name and email address.

seems like a majority of people are ok with it. if not, i hope you can forgive this minor trespass.

 

[wire]

I'm ok with it

 

[metaldad]

no problem.

 

[leadfoot415]

I'm okay with sharing...anything we can do to get these bottle openers in our hands!

 

[2manytools]

If I get spam from Germany, is it a form of bratwurst?

 

[metaldad]

I know it's not Knipex, but now that we're all becoming bottle opener aficionados, might as well grab an SK one while we wait patiently for this to play out....:

Price is $7.99 once added to your cart.

Now let's just hope we can get the Knipex ones!!!

thanks for the link! just bought a pair

 

[rodder98]

fine to share

 

[Jbullfrog]

I'm ok, they should already have all my info. I shared it everyday via their Advent calendar.

 

[mAd mOrdigan]

Permission to share mine too!

Seems like this deal may be dead in the water. Any updates Pizza?

 

[pizza]

"Knipex Rep B" only seems to email me on mondays, at least so far. hoping for a response then.

 

[pizza]

also, another user has a high level contact @ knipex usa. he emailed yesterday on our behalf.

 

[hudd1256]

So this sounds like we might be getting closer. Also it’s fine you gave them my email.

 

[pizza]

it is not looking good. going to give it a few more days, but then i'll probably have to throw in the towel.

in that case, everyone gets a full refund (less the ~$1 goods and services fee if you paid that way, as described on the order form).

Even if this turns out to be a bummer, I, for one, truly appreciate you putting in all this work for us!

Absolutely! Thanks Pizza!

 

[Kartman]

Absolutely. Heroic effort which is very much appreciated Pizza!

 

[Draftpick1]

Agreed thank you for trying!

 

[wartee]

Either way this turns out, I sure do appreciate the effort!

 

[2manytools]

Hopefully, *if* this falls through, you end up with a contact for next year.

Well in the meantime I bought one of these SK socket bottle openers
Most excellent. Very well made. You can even attach a breaker-bar for the tough to open bottles!

Thanks for posting the link!

No problem! Glad someone else could get their bottle opener fix in the mean time. For the price and the fact that it's made in the USA to what seems like their normal socket standards, it was impossible to say no!

I did like that you could actually attach a breaker bar or ratchet. It's a nice touch!

 

[Fatboy148]

What size are those openers? Can they fill in for the mythical missing 10 MM?

 

[metaldad]

12 mm. mine just came, took 8 days.
and, thank you pizza, for the work involved in the attempt for the knipex opener

 

[pizza]

thanks, guys.

knipex(fans) never responded to my last messages, so the group buy's dead. sorry, everyone. i tried my best for you.

i'm also not hopeful that it could work next year either for the anticipated 4th edition of the bottle opener, but we can always email towards the end of 2021 and nag them again lol.

(this beer is amazing, by the way. truly a must-try.)

oh well. who needs it, anyways. i got my bottle opener right here.
BOTH halves of the tool for the same price, and it's more functional.

i'll get those refunds out today hopefully. sorry again that it didn't work out.

 

[jimbos1ice]

You win some you lose some. I appreciate the effort that was taken to get some fellow tools lovers some tools, cheers!

Fabulous, Knipex is moved down to the bottom of my list of tools to consider from now on.

 

[Formerjeeper]

I don't hold it against Knipex, still good tools, but definitely appreciate all of Pizza's efforts. I too picked up a couple of items on SK steals/deals including the bottle opener socket.

Thanks Pizza!!!

 

[2manytools]

Thanks Pizza! Only would know if we (you) tried.

If you pass thru Grand Rapids, happy to buy you a beer , that is if the taps are flowing.

 

[ToolPolisher]

Pizza, keep half of my funds, please. Your time has to be worth something!

 

[manwithtools]

Hey Pizza, thanks for the hard work and the prompt refund of funds. If you decide to try this again next year, just let us know. I'm in!

 

[jeffmoss26]

yes, thanks for the valiant effort!!

 

[ishiboo]

This ***** but thank you soooo much for going through all this for us Pizza!

 

[wire]

Not a Knipex but it'll open a bottle. Says it's on clearance so get em while you can.

Had to figure out what I got a $60 refund for...
Thanks for all the effort!

I'd be happy to buy you both a beer sometime even though I wasn't in on the

deal!!

Well, if any of the 3 of you find yourself in Detroit, hit me up! Might put you to work in the garage for the beer though

 

[theamcguy]

Thank you for the effort.

 

[Qualitytools]

Thanks Pizza for all the time and effort you have put into this group purchase, much appreciate the honesty throughout!
