A combination receptacle opener including a plate member having at least one aperture with serrations for gripping for twisting off a twist-cap inserted into the aperture. The aperture also includes a segment for engagement beneath the lip of a crown cap for prying the cap off its bottle, this second function being performed from the same face of the plate member as the twisting function. Further embodiments include tang members extending from one face of the plate member around an aperture, which serve as insertion depth regulations for twist-cap inserted into the aperture, and a baffle extending from one face of the opener around an aperture for adjusting the operative diameter of the aperture for use with smaller twist-caps.
