This little gem provided an easy experience in opening wine bottles. I stayed clear of other openers, which always seemed to make the task at hand difficult. This opener made the job a pleasure with no resistance at all.

While my wife and I use a Screwpull pocket model (Screwpull Pocket Model Corkscrew, Black) most of the time, there are bottles that are easier to open with a lever-type corkscrew, so we keep one of these handy. The Pedrini is nicely designed. The lever is the right length, holds the lip of the bottle, and it's well-made. In fact, we like Pedrini's bar ware generally. We even use their shot glasses for our espresso machine.

I have gone through dozens of corkscrews with all kinds of designs which always break. The Pedrini is a classic design which works every time. It also makes a great gift because most people have lack a decent corkscrew.

I bought this because I am in the Party Plan/Direct Sales/Home Party business and I can't tell you how many times I have been in a Hostesses home, a guest brings a bottle of wine, and suddenly from the kitchen I hear someone exclaim, "You don't own a corkscrew?!?" So, as a part of my customer service, I began making sure that I had a corkscrew on hand...but, I wanted to make sure I had a quality corkscrew that would actually work when called upon. The Pedrini has worked exceptionally well for a great price.

This is by far the best corkscrew i have found. If this one breaks , i;m getting another. Very easy and the soft hand grip is very comfortable on the hands.
