Open a Soda or Beer Bottle with a Stapler [Clever Uses]

If you have the occasional beer (or Mexican Coca-Cola) at work and don't have a bottle opener handy you can you your trusty stapler. Instructables user ivan_stephens notes that the steel carrier on a standard desktop stapler has a notch that works well as a bottle opener.

Note that the Instructables author mentioned that this tip works specifically for his Swingline stapler. I have a Swingline myself so I can't say with certainty if this method works with other brands of stapler.

When not opening beer you can also use your stapler to temporarily pin documents instead of merely stapling them together.
