The Peel Touch Tool — Open doors & press buttons without touching them
The hook & pointer enables you to open doors, press buttons, and checkout without touching shared surfaces. It's cut from a solid piece of brass, which is naturally antimicrobial. It goes on your keychain so you always have it with you.

love it! just don't open a door with corina virus on the surface and then use the bottle opener to drink and catch the rona. the product looks great none the less. +1
@dennishegstad hah yeah - the story on the bottle opener is for something to look forward to later after the pandemic.
What about cross contamination?
You touch the door which has germs. Now hook has germs. Put hook back in your pocket where it touches your keys, your pocket, your wallet etc?
Hey PH! When the pandemic hit, we got to work on an idea that solves a problem everyone has... avoiding germs when out in public. The Peel Touch Tool is what we came up with:
- Open doors & press buttons without having to touch them with your hands.
- Made from a solid piece of brass, which is naturally antimicrobial.
- Designed for your keychain so you always have it with you.
- We included a subtle bottle opener so you can look forward to future celebrations!
Some have asked about round door knobs -- luckily those aren't ADA compliant, so you shouldn't see those out in public or commercial spaces.
We're in production now and going as fast as possible to get these out to customers!
@chrismessina @jmarcowelker haha thought about including this gif on the product page
I don't get it..."Here's a tool to touch everything you don't want to touch for fear of germs." "We'll also put a bottle opener on it so you can use the dirty tool to open stuff your mouth touches."
Technically, this is classified as a “composite brass knuckle” under the California penal code 12020. And thanks to California communist laws, this Product Hunt launch is actually illegal under California penal code 12020.5. 🤷♂️
However, if this is manufactured in Texas, it is legal. But the PH launch and ownership in select states is still illegal. (Know your laws before you buy one)
Very cool! !maker we're your parents Cal / USC business students by chance?? Your name...lol
This is great! It would be even more helpful for me personally if it could open doorknobs like this https://duckduckgo.com/?q=doorkn...
Why? Because, some people may live with others who don’t wash their hands. I currently use the bottom of my shirt to open these doorknobs. All of them. And to turn on the stove. I think this could work for one of the faucets, but not the one with knobs.
love the concept, seems overpriced, would love to see a percentage of sales donated or something
So… it's just a small metal hook that somehow costs $35? It is not *clever* in any way, it has no built-in flashlight, nor will it work with the touch screen.… It's just a small metal hook. For $35. Well…
Great idea, sadly too expensive. $35 plus shipping and eventually +Duties (in Europe) because of the high price
