Default Bottle Openers?

Hey just wondering if anyone has used this or what your thoughts are for using one like this, GOOD OR BAD. Or should i get one that replaces the valve all together.

Funk them. I dislike them a lot. Get a nice one from Dynotune and be done with it.

for sure get a real opener.... i never saw those kinds as real ones seeing you have to leave the bottle on and then the valve opens and shuts and you know some leaks out after time seeing you are leaving it open 24/7! the real ones mechanicly turn the bottle open and then off and the flick of a switch!

I'd love to get one but for that price, I'll open the hatch and turn it myself. I'm keeping an eye on ebay for a cheap one!

I have the NX new design, pretty much the same as the DynoTune one just without the handle.

lol this isn't going to be left on 24/7. Its only going to be on when i feel like using it. Basically its for looks. I know that they prolly do leak after awhile, if left opened but i figure if i open the bottle before i drive that way if i get the bug to spray i have that option. if it does leak will i run into problems with my motor or should i be fine? Also what opener should i get. Money is kinda a issue.

already stated. Get an opener that actually opens the valve, not just another inline solenoid. Them things are garbage. I suggested the dynotune N2O opener. Great product.

ok thanks i know dynotune is one of the best products but to be honest im not looking for the best of the best and one that is 250+... also, dynotune doesn't fit on tnt bottles so thats big no on that brand...i just want a simple opener that gets the job done. nothing fancy nothing pricey.

HSW also has a nice one. I used a solenoid opener at first. Damn thing would work 1/2 the time. When the pressure got too high (new fill on a hot day) the thing wouldn't open. Used to PISSMEOFF. I finally got a real opener from HSW.
