I seem to be the only person not able to open this shot glass up. I've twisted it in a hundred different ways and can't get this thing unscrewed.

The one that I received does not screw in or unscrew, it is held in by pressure. Try pulling it out by the slight lip around the edge of the glass.

It took me a little while to figure out too. Just PULL, don't twist. I had to use something to pry it out the first time because it was set in pretty tight.

Just take the bottom and top half and twist. It can be kind of difficult to open, I still struggle with mine.

I have a couple of different types of these. This one is a little stiff to open. Some of them you have to press down on the cover while turning to open it. Try that. If it doesn't work I'll get mine in hand and talk you through it.

I had a difficult time getting it open the first time too. Try giving it a slight twist rather than pulling it straight off. It's still rather tight, but does come off better now.

Hi David! The easiest way that I do it is to pull the release clip to the front of me. I can get it open easier that way. Hope this helps!

I have had some trouble getting it open sometimes, but I just try to turn it back and forth and suddenly it unscrews....

I had the same problem. I took a small screwdriver and used it to pry it open

You must have a defective one..had no problem opening mine. Turn counterclockwise.

I am having trouble as well, I've tried everything, including the paper clip and a thin blade tiny screwdriver. I cannot budge it. Anyone??? Heeeeeeeeeeeelp!!!!!A. OLOTT did you ever get yours off???

I had trouble at first too .. I think there are clear stickers/tape that hold the top and bottom of the tray together that you need to remove before it will open easily. Look very closely and see if you can find and remove them and then try again!

hold onto the handle and twist to the left.. if it dont budge try holding it under hot tap water for a minute or so and try again.. its very hard turning and i cant do it when it is really on there good, my husband does tho so u might ask a guy u know if u still cant get it, but sometimes the hot water allows me to get it off, this is not good but i love the keg otherwise~! good luck with yours!

Mine is a bit tough to open, too. Just make sure you don't have the brown tabs in the "lock" position.

This is crazy, I'm having the same problem and I can not for the life of me budge that thing... my husband and I have both tried with all our strength. I'm about to throw it out a window.

Yeah....opening it by hand is tough. I use a small screwdriver too. No accidental opening likely.

Opening anything with one hand will be a challenge. That being said, I think so. I just tried it and was able to. I had to use the non-usable hand to at least balance the opener while I twisted the opener to the size of the cap. Then I held the bottle between my body and the kitchen counter and used the good hand to turn the opener handle. The cap came off and a slight bit of water escaped, but the top was off. Good luck.

Yours must just be stiff. I just get a firm grip on it and turn the top opening to the left. However, you will then need to re-pressurize it by pumping it up. Maybe you have too much pressure in it - try opening the little pressure valve first and then it should unscrew more easily.

Have only had this problem with drinking glasses getting stuck, one inside the other. Maybe instead of hot water just rap gently with a wooden spoon on all sides of the neck while gently pulling the spout. Cover with a cloth just in case of breakage. Good luck. Hope someone comes up with a better idea.
