Barbarian Bar Tool Review

I hate being unprepared for a situation. This I why I carry a Swiss army knife as my keychain, store a multipurpose tool in my glove compartment and even an emergency portable drinking water filter in the trunk.

The one thing I’m not prepared for at a moment’s notice while away from home is a cocktail. I even have a drawerful of cheap, gas-station mart wine openers in the kitchen, for all those times I’ve forgotten to bring along an opener while at the beach, on a picnic or impromptu sidewalk squat with friends.

We’re loving the Barbarian Bar Tool, the 9-in-1 tool. It’s the Swiss army knife for the cocktail and wine lover.

It does everything. We had a lot of fun discovering each tool, though the hard part is remembering where each tool was. The Barbarian Bar Tool includes:

• CITRUS PRESS great for squeezing limes, lemons and oranges
• JIGGER measuring .75oz/1oz/1.5oz
• CORKSCREW & LEVER for opening wine bottle
• ZESTER great for adding texture and flavor to any concoction
• CHANNEL KNIFE slicing citrus rind to garnish a beverage or your favorite dish
• BOTTLE OPENER pop open your favorite bottle of beer or soda
• CAN LANCE puncture tin cans to allow quick and easy pouring
• 1 inch KNIFE for wide citrus garnish or bottle label removal
• CITRUS KNIFE perfect size for lemons, limes and oranges

The product came to life after a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised $38,062. You can now buy this gadget for $59.95 on Amazon, Nordstrom, or direct from the company.

Simple Tool
