Pulltap’s® Corkscrew (Genuine) (Burgundy)

These are marketed as genuine Pulltap's corkscrews, however they aren't even comparable. I work in the restaurant industry, and open many bottles of wine every day. On day one, the worm of the corkscrew bent. And within only a few weeks of use, the worm actually SPLIT IN HALF while opening the bottle (see photo). I have never experienced anything like that in all of my year's of service. Other notes: corks actually break off in the neck of the bottle, and the Pulltap's logo isn't even inscribed on the fulcrum. I purchased four of these just over a month ago, and they're all wrecked already.

I have used mainly my Swiss army knife to open wine bottles for decades. Sometimes, some corks are really difficult to remove, requiring all my strength and hurting shoulder or arm, when injured. This made me try this bottle opener. On first try, I could open a cork with one hand, without much effort at all, The design is very good, allowing some x10 leverage force, so cork pulled out smoothly, no more jerking open with a pop, as in Swiss army knife! The tool is also ergonomic, made to fit contour of hand, smooth, and the design did not knick or damage the wine bottle. It is also very nice that the tool folds to size of Swiss army knife, so it is quite portable and can be stored anywhere. Construction seems solid, all made of metal with enamel coating and joints riveted. I should have gotten this sooner, if I know what I know now. I am guessing that two handled ones probably work well as well, but those are several times larger, so people like me would prefer this one instead.

OMG---My daughter had bought one for me for Christmas, but it was lost in all the wrapping paper. She insisted that I order another. Since I don't drink anything but milk and wine, I knew I needed a really easy-to-use corkscres (and not one of those fancy-schmancy rabbits or other animals). I received my Pulltaps Corkscrew last week and I was blown away at the first use. In my opinion, besides the aesthetics, the double-hinged pull is the best thing about it. I opened two bottles as a pro! The longer "arm" was useful, too. My friends couldn't believe it was me who had opened the bottles in split seconds.

I used to love Screwpulls, but they are cheaply made (mostly plastic) and very expensive as well ($25-30). After breaking 2 of them, I switched the Pulltaps waiter's friend I've used in the past. The Pulltaps are just about as easy to use and they are bulletproof. You can buy them in all kinds of colors 10 for bucks or less. It's really no wonder that those are pretty much the only types of corkscrew you see in restaurants. My daughter works in a restaurant and I bought her 2 of them.

This is a real PullTap's key, or at least an incredibly good facsimile. The printed trademark is right where it should be, and the construction seems very solid.We purchased four of these for bar service, where we each will cork no less than five-ten bottles per station per night. Our issue is plainly this: We open so many bottles, that the rivets in a cheap double-hinge will bend or pop out of joint after 50-100 corkings. Cheap keys are especially prone to breaking on synthetic corks.After two weeks of constant use, the PullTap's wine keys are no worse for wear, and have not diminished their effectiveness in the slightest.As a daily user, I highly recommend this product.

Before I purchased this corkscrew, I watched a YouTube video ([...]) that perfectly demonstrated how to use this type of corkscrew. It looked so simple, that I chose this product because it matched the corkscrew in the video. My experience with the corkscrew matched the video. The product is very well made and easy to operate. The only downside for me is the knife for cutting the foil. I found it a bit awkward to use and prefer the type depicted here: http://www.amazon.com/Wine-Cutter-Accessory-Stunning-Opening/dp/B011IYHY5K

I've had this corkscrew since I purchased it in 2013. It is amazing and still as sharp and effective as Day 1. The knife cuts through the metal foil of wine bottles almost like butter it is so smooth, And the corkscrew stay securely inside the cork and the movements of the parts are all very smooth and ergonomic. I love the Dark Green Colour. Nothing so far has rusted and it still looks brand new. Would highly recommend.

I ordered this through Amazon & did review it with 5 stars, but don't see the review listed. It started out great, just like our Pulltap we've had for many years. But broke within a couple of weeks. The pin fell out of the double hinge mechanism & can be reinserted, but just keeps falling out.Returning it to Amazon with their pre-paid label. Thank you, Amazon, for the great service.It appears to be a genuine Pulltap, so perhaps the quality is slipping??

Desafortunadamente los acabados dejen mucho que desear, están mal terminados los bordes.
