A intense product improved!
We have inured to the predecessor to this product for years: Oxo Good Grips Corkscrew. This one is even better:

1. a good foil cutter exclusive the handle,
2. the screw posed a danger on the old one, but this one is completely enclosed, and
3. extracts corks more easily (even though the top is not as wide).

Immensely recommended!

Too unfeeling
I can't rally the cork out of the bottle with this. I'll stick with my other openers.

miss big and strong hands for this one
I must be missing something; everyone loves this because it's so elementary to use. Not my experience at all. First, I can't get the foil cutter off. Then, I find it hard to start the cork without it veering to the side. And, then I find it difficult to turn the opener while keeping the hem in from moving. A third hand would probably help. I have a high regard for Oxo products except wine openers. The Oxo's rabbit ear opener is also a shocking product.

Uncut design, simple operation
I've cast-off this wine opener a few times, and I really like it. It's easy to operate--you just start turning the protuberance, and keep turning until the cork comes up--and has a pleasing ergonomic design. To remove the cork, just turn in the opposite road.

I like that it has a slightly sci-fi look--you could picture Captain Picard whipping this out at a diplomatic reception on 10-Speed up when uncorking a bottle of his Chateau Picard, but the black/stainless look will fit in with most contemporary-looking kitchens. It is dispassionate enough, though, not to contrast with more traditional settings.

There's really not too much else to say: it does the job and looks good. For the cost and ease of in force, I don't think you can do much better.

Get the better of corkscrew yet
After having tried many types of corkscrews, and well-versed broken metal screws, broken corks, and malfunctions on artificial corks, I'd say I've finally found the most all around corkscrew. So easy to use, so far has worked every time, and it's fast. Also, the foil cutter is top notch. Going to buy a moment one for the parents.

Not value it
Well-disposed thing it was this cheap because in less then a year it stopped working. I'm back to using the old fashion twist kind. This is the two shakes of a lamb's tail one of this type I've had and I won't purchase any more of them.

Unsatisfied
This corkscrew lasted less than a month...no more than 6 bottles and the screw clear working. Two plastic pieces broke out of the base below where the handles clamp onto the bottle of wine. The screw still drives thru the cork, but does not draw up the cork out when you lift the lever. I am very unhappy and would like to return.

Calling well, but doesn't last
The corkscrew running starts off working very well, about 2-3 months in it begins to be a little more of a problem. Now at 5 months it fails altogether, on the downstroke the corkscrew threads in fine, but on the pull stroke it now just unwinds out of the cork, it should just perform recover the cork! Also several of the rods of the assembly have come completely loose making it work in a sloppy fashion.

This is frustrating now with Amazon only allowing about a 45 day window for the requital policy. Yes, Amazon will allow you to return for partial credit and pay the return shipping. For a $20 element it just doesn't add up!

No OK champion.
We reverted to the generic vade-mecum twist opener after struggling w/ this. Should have gotten the Rabbit. Would have been worth the extra $.

Does the job and the evaluate was right
The precious well-known similar looking corkscrew broke in under 2yrs. This one works great and I actually find it easier to use. Only just any effort needed to pull the cork out.

Seems to be well made. A better product then I expected for the price. Kind of makes me mind-boggler how some of the others can charge $80+ for their models.

A mounted POV on the Cork Screw at Cedar Peak.

Stroke Therapy with Corkscrew Device Most Beneficial, Study Suggests PR Web (press release)

19.01.10

Another reflect on being presented at ISET suggests stents can be used to treat stroke – just as they sometimes are second-hand to treat heart attacks – often resulting in significant improvements in brain function. The den includes 20 patients treated at one of three centers: the State University of New York at Buffalo (SUNY), the University of Florida at Gainesville and Barrow Neurological Establish in Phoenix. Patients treated with stents experienced an average of 60 percent improvement in wit function.

Stroke is called a brain attack because oxygen and blood flow to part of the brain is cut off. Eighty three percent of all strokes are ischemic, implication they are caused by a small clot that blocks an artery in the brain, stopping blood flow. (The other 17 percent of strokes are hemorrhagic, caused by bleeding in the knowledge.) If blood flow is not restored, impairment can result, including loss of brain use, speech, vision, movement (paralysis) and death. About 750,000 people suffer from stroke every year, and 160,000 die, according to the National Whack Association. Signs of stroke include sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm or leg, loss of phantasm, confusion or severe headache. In both studies, only patients with ischemic stroke were included.

How do I get the cork out of a whine bottle without a cork screw?

Jun 05, 2008 by MonkeysPaw | Posted in Beer, Wine & Spirits

I got a lavish bottle of whine, I normally drink beer, so I do not have a cork screw. Is the another nifty way I can open it?

Screw a wood screw into the cork and beat a retreat on it with plyers.

Screw a wood screw into the cork and to pieces on it with plyers.
MasterPython | Jun 05, 2008

Hammer, dynamite, firecrackers, wrest, drop it on the floor...
Tigger | Jun 05, 2008

use a drill gun to pierce in a regular screw, be sure to not drill it in further than the cork because it will get chunks of the cork in the bottle, then use either your hand if your tough or a pair of needle nose pliars to earn c lower it off, be sure to pull slowly because you can rip the inside of the screw.

good luck.

use a blade or whatever! but dont waste the wine! that would be alcohol abuse!lol send it to me or something! lol
Mara M | Jun 05, 2008

Thrust the cork into the bottle rather than trying to pull it out. I do however like the dynamite suggestion. :)
T.Rogan | Jun 05, 2008

campaign the cork in to the bottle.

tear into a make upside down and strike squarly with a boot, the cork will start to work out repeat untill you can get ahold of it and recoil out

I have pushed in the cork with a screwdriver before. It's moderately classy.....

What does it mean when you are using a cork screw to open a bottle of wine and the cork just starts to crumble

Sep 23, 2007 by tolchfan | Posted in Beer, Wine & Spirits

I bought a gumption of wine last weekend, and when I went to open it, the cork just started to crumble and fall apart and the cork screw couldn't get through it. A friend told me that means my wine is bad, is that true?

It means the cork is bad, which in convert lets air in and will turn the wine. It does not automatically mean the wine is bad. You can taste and smell if the wine has turned.

Jan 08, 2008 by scoobydoo | Posted in Beer, Wine & Spirits

I don't have a cork screw

if the cork is sticking out of the top of the liquor try plyers or something of that nature...if its flush with the top try finding a screw with big threads and screwing it into the cork, and then using plyers to pull on th screw...sounds excited but it works
