The opener works ok. The problem is it is too close to the ground when on the cooler bad design. If it was placed on the top or higher on the side it would be better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hey there Lovinglife,
Thank you for your feedback on this Venture Cooler accessory! The bottle opener can be placed on any of the four rungs on the side of the cooler, so it can attach to either the bottom or the middle. That being said, we'll definitely pass your thoughts along to our product design teams for future consideration, and if you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to call our Otter experts at 1-855-688-7269. They're always excited to help out!
