I was thinking that ACE, but now i think it might be to get those security tops off medicine bottles - the ones that nobody can open?  ::)

But it STILL can't separate the Gin's screw top from the ring that holds it onto the bottle!!
I shall just have to knock the neck off on the edge of the table!!

An old jack dustys trick was to heat the cap in warm water. the whole thing come off in one. remove some of the contents and replace with water. Put the cap back on and when it has cooled no ones the wiser.
