  • a base; and

    a plurality of detachable blades defined by substantially planar and parallel upper and lower surfaces and blade edges, the blades being mounted to the base such that each of the blade edges is exposed;

    wherein the blades are mounted in a generally circular arrangement, with the blades generally radiating from a central portion of the base, such that the blade edges are positioned to engage a circumferential edge of a cap as it is being secured to the cylindrical container;

    wherein the blades are mounted such that the blade edges slope slightly downwardly as they radiate from the central portion of the base; and

    wherein the lower surfaces of the blades define planes that are oriented at an oblique angle to an axis that passes through a circle defined by the circular arrangement of the blades.
