Gateron switch-opener

I was a little skeptical at first, but the metal body feels sturdy and the alignment pins make it easy to pop switches open without bending anything. Works perfectly for cleaning and lubing my switches, and the whole process is much faster now.

This thing grips the switch housing so firmly that I can pop both halves apart in one smooth motion without worrying about scratching the pins. The silver finish looks clean on my desk and it hasn't bent or flexed after opening forty or so switches. Exactly what I needed for a quick lubing session.

Finally a tool that makes lubing and modding switches actually enjoyable instead of a finger workout. The anodized aluminum finish feels solid and the alignment pins grip each switch housing perfectly so nothing slips.
