    Abstract: A multifunction container-piercing tool is provided. The tool includes a base and a piercing element having a pointed tip and a triangle base. The triangle base is attached to the front of the base. A hook is connected to the bottom of the base. The hook base extends from the bottom of the tool base and the catch faces toward the pointed tip. The distance between the catch and the base is about equal to the length of the piercing element. A handle extends from the back of the base, where the handle has at least one fork element. The fork element is disposed to leverage a mass of turf, such as a divot in a putting green. The hook pivots about a container bottom, and the piercing element provides an opening in a beverage can sidewall to enable rapid delivery of the contents when the pull-tab is lifted.
