The idea of using a blade to turn a plastic bottle into a long length of rope isn’t anything new—there have even been products before that simplified the process—but this plastic bottle cutter might be our favorite way to do it. Using the adjustable wood and aluminum tool you can turn any plastic bottle into a fine rope that can be used for everything from pulling a car, setting up a trellis in the garden, tying your shoes, arts and crafts, or anything else you could possibly need rope for. Hell, even in the apocalypse rope is useful and leftover bottles are going to be far easier to find than premade rope.
