If you find yourself in a situation where the traditional method of loosening and removing a cap is not available, there are alternative methods that may be used. Pliers can provide an effective way to twist off a cap when other options have failed. When using pliers, it's important to ensure they fit as tightly as possible around the neck of the bottle before attempting to apply pressure or torque. Additionally, make sure that all protective guards are in place on the pliers so that you do not damage either your hands or the bottle itself while trying to remove it. Alternatively, if neither option is available or feasible for whatever reason, even something like a pair of keys can be used in order to twist off caps from bottles. Be mindful when using this method though; if too much force is applied then both the keys and bottle could become damaged beyond repair - handle with caution!
