Dude Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I believe I read a post awhile back about bending bottle caps backwards or inside out. I tried it the other night and bent one backwards, but not the lip of the cap inside out. Could someone please define what bending bottle/ beer caps is? I just placed my two index finger on the lipped edge of the cap and pressed on the backs with my thumbs. It was somewhat tough but the only thing I found tough was the pain of the lip going into the finger tip. To bend it inside out would seem like you have to rip the lip of the cap to do it, which looks extremely tough. If anyone has any pics please post because I'd be interested to see so it clears it up. In the meantime I'll try and take a pick of one that I did so you can tell me if I'm completely wrong or not. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Supposedly in the book Feats of Strength and Dexterity all of the bottle cap bends are described. Can't say this for sure maybe someone with the book can help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 Anyone try it at all? Seems like a good workout for the index finger / thumb pinching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StalwartSentinel Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Most people crush a beer cap between their thumb pad and index finger knuckle. Not really that tough. Try bending one between the tip of your index finger and the end of your thumb, with your other three fingers curled into your palm as a fist. Great party trick!

Is this what people mean when they refer to bending bottle caps or is it something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revtor Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 open and shut 'em a few times and then rip 'em in half!! ~Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAMMERHEAD Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 What most people mean by bending a bottle cap is just taco'ing it between the tips of your index and thumb. You can also bend it backwards like in the previous pics. GorillaHands actually has a vid in the old movie gallery (I think) of him bending a cap backwards with one hand! This may be one of the greatest grip vids ever! Adam Black is a great bottle cap bender as well. I haven't seen him on the board for a long while. Revtor is right about tearing 'em in half. This is very tough as well. -HH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
