Hi, I’m Adam Friebel, a 30-year-old plumber from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. I created the Throttle Opener to blend nostalgia, good times, and the simple joy of cracking open a cold one. For me, this bottle opener isn’t just a tool – it’s a piece of my story, and I’m excited to share it with you.

It all started when I had an idea – and like many great ideas, it happened on a whim. The very next day, I made my first bottle opener. I loved the feel of it, the way it worked, and how it immediately sparked memories of all those fun moments shared with friends and family. The feedback from loved ones was incredible, and I knew I was onto something special.

From there, I began refining the design. I worked with an engineer to bring my hand-drawn sketches to life, turning them into precise measurements and material specs. My stepdad helped with the machining and milling. We assembled the first 100 openers by hand, carefully crafting each one to ensure it lived up to the vision.

When we tested the market, the response was more than I ever expected. The first batch sold out quickly, and that success gave me the confidence to take the next step. Today, we’re proud to have Throttle Openers in stock and available at locations like International Motorsports Vancouver/Langley, Popkum Motorpark in Chilliwack, and the Dreamcycle Museum in Sorrento, B.C.

None of this would be possible without the incredible support from people like you. Each Throttle Opener is a reminder of the memories we all share – the rides, the moments with friends and family, and the passion for great times.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. I hope you enjoy your Throttle Opener as much as I’ve enjoyed bringing it to life.

Now, get ready – it’s time to Grip It n Rip It!
