Cap handling tools and methods of use

A tool for use in handling a plurality of linearly-oriented, spaced-apart caps, each cap having an upper surface with a depression;

• the tool comprising:
• a body having a first portion for engagement by a user and a second portion to operationally engage one or more caps of the caps;
• wherein the first portion is in a non-coplanar relationship with the second portion;
• wherein the first portion has a first side and a second side;
• wherein the second portion comprises a plurality of spaced-apart projections linearly aligned along a rotational axis, each projection having a terminus;
• wherein the plurality of projections are aligned along a rotational axis;
• wherein each projection of the plurality of projections is adapted to fit closely inside and to operationally engage the depression of one of the plurality of caps;
• wherein the tool is configured such that, when the second side of the first portion is held against a substantially level surface, the distance between the terminus of each of the two or more projections and the surface is sufficient to hold any portion of a cap engaged on the one or more projections off the surface.
