'utensil' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'hammered pin on tree' is the wordplay.
'hammered' indicates an anagram (slang term for drunk).
'pin'+'on'+'tree'='pinontree'
'pinontree' anagrammed gives 'TIN-OPENER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tin-opener that I've seen before include "Kitchen tool" , "Kitchen utensil" .)
