Best Corkscrew by Screwpull November 24, 2008
Janie (Las Vegas, NV)
This is the second Screwpull corkscrew we have owned. The first one, given to us by my husband's mother, lasted 15 years, and broke only when I twisted the corkscrew without holding onto the base securely. I had asked in several liquor stores, and no one would admit to knowing anything about them. That was, I am certain, because they sold more expensive corkscrews that did not work nearly as well. This one is THE BEST!

CORKSCREWS MAY COME AND GO, BUT THIS REMAINS THE BEST FOR OVERALL EASE OF USE AND RELIABILITY.
IT'S A LOT OF TWISTING, BUT MUCH EASIER TO OPERATE THAN THE LEVER TYPES (RABBIT) BECAUSE IT DOES NOT REQUIRE STRENGTH.
Best corkscrew ever made November 7, 2008

I have owned this corkscrew for about 10 years. This is by far the best corkscrew I've ever used. Forget the fancy butterfly models with fancy cases, this works better. There are no levers to pull on this thing and it's nearly impossible to "screw" up the cork. Here's my instructions for it: Put it on the bottle, push down gently while turning the screw top. That's it. This is the only corkscrew that I know of that can be used by a less-than-strong female with a history of breaking corks (who's shall go unnamed, but she knows who she is). If you hate corkscrews because you aren't strong or just seem to lack coordination, try this one.

I am enjoying my Screwpull wine cork opener. The only problem I have had is that it takes a little while for the end of the pointed coil to penetrate the harder plastic corks. Once the point is through the removal of the cork is effortless.
It Works October 18, 2008

Simple, effortless, foolproof. However, there are a few details that aren't obvious from the listing. The screw part and the outer "frame" part are not connected, they just slide together. It's not a big deal, but tossing the Screwpull into a drawer may mean you have to fish around for two components before you can get your cork pulled.
Also, the product feels a bit flimsy and cheap. The screw is teflon-coated, sharp, and stiff, but the housing is plastic, so thin it flexes. I keep mine in the original display clamshell, because I fear it would get broken if left out.
Still, like the title says, it works perfectly. Just set it in place and turn the handle. Easiest corkscrew I've ever used.
