Easy-Turn Corkscrew

Easy to use!

This is absolutely the BEST wine opener -- unless you want one of the fancy automatic or electric ones. Easy to use and easy to get the cork off!

This is a great design. It's self aligning to a certain extent, making it easy to hit the center of the cork every time. It lacks those wings that most corkscrews have which are such a pain. The corkscrew is long, and by continuing to turn the handle after it is fully extended it pulls the cork out of the bottle. It's a little tough to turn the handle at that point, but it's easier than the wing design. It pulls the cork almost completely, too, so it requires next to no exertion to pull the cork once the screw is fully engaged. Removing the cork is easy, too. Simply grip it tightly by squeezing the body and turn the screw the other way. The screw is not captive on the body, though, so you end up with a 2 piece opener. Not the best design, but still better than the common one.

I've been uncorking wine bottles for 50 years (gee, time keeps on slipping into the future). This is the best tool I've had. The handle provides all the pressure you need to insert the cork screw and if the cork is good the turning process will pull the cork free of the bottle. It can be a bit difficult getting the cork out of the handle, but that's a small price to pay. Bonus. An engineer friend taught me a better way to start. Get a utility knife and cut up (verticle) and under the foil wrapper around the bottle top. Peel off the foil, then use your corkscrew. It is amazing how easy it is to remove the wrapper and how much easier it is to uncork the bottle without the foil around. I used to work a knife around the top of the bottle and cut the top off the foil which was never easy. This upstroke taking slices of the foil never puts the knife edge against the glass and only rips through the wrapper. It is stupidly easier.

I have no strength in my hands. With this corkscrew I can open wine! It is so easy to use. I have gifted it to many of my friends.

I've used one similar to this for years. Loved it--so easy to use.The handle was made of plastic and ultimately broke. The handle on THIS model is metal and not likely to ever break. I have all sorts of corkscrews/openers and none compare with this model. You just turn the handle--no downward pressure from your hand is necessary. I highly recommend this opener.

It’s a little short and does not get the cork all the way out of the bottle. Hard to finish getting the cork out by hand

This is a good one. Do not buy the fancy electric cork screws! They take away the fun of opening a bottle of wine, and don’t hold the charge. If you want something easier to open your favorite Bordeaux bottle than the classic two levers device, and something that requires less strength than the single handle/barman type corkscrew, buy this one. I had a black one for four, maybe five years, and I opened many bottles during that time. Lately it got a bit hard to twist, because the screw got slightly bent (it was my fault), and it still worked for months, but was a bit harder to operate. So, I bought a new blue one! For the few bucks you pay, it works great. I just got the new one for something like $7, and it winds into that cork smoothly like a charm! It’s the little things in life… FYI, over the years I bought hundreds of items on Amazon, and never wrote a review, but this one was worth it!
