So is it made of aluminum or brass?

Ignoring how everyone seems to want to profit off a machined piece of brass or copper, how is this supposed to handle round doorknobs?

So many questions. Like what do you do with this after it touches a surface?

“made of brass” and “aluminum construction”.
I see no red flags here.

Throw it away and get a new one?
I have to say it sounds like a poorly designed sex toy.

Not sure how I missed that. Some of those comments are great.

If we can get 60 to 80 percent of the population infected with one of these openers, then the Rnaught will drop below 1 and these ads will disappear.

Don’t even think about using a stick.
You’re thinking about it, aren’t you?

I’m just going to buy one of these.
An added plus is that it could also help me get the last pack of toilet paper in Costco away from those damned needy senior citizens.

The OP looks like another boring version of the same thing we’ve seen all over. This Indiegogo seems to be more viable than most of the copy cat pack pricey metal pokey sticks because it actually retracts, keeping (hopefully) the germs inside:
“Estimated delivery September 2020”
Never mind… 
People would probably safer just using something disposable.
