My wife and I have always loved Snakebites (Guiness and Cider) but have always found it difficult to make our own. We bought a tool like this some time back and in a fit of excitement we foolishly gave it away to some friends! It occurred to me the other day that I could probably design one of these on the printer...and boom! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. You'll see the holes aren't quite perfectly even (I free-handed their placement lol) but overall the device functions great!
