 Three cheers for the Screwpull Trilogy Table Corkscrew September 12, 2007
I purchased my first one of these to replace another product we broke when staying with friends! We all loved the design and ease of use. This one was made of metal, and cost $50. It feels sturdier, but was a little heavy when used by my older friend. When I got the lexan one, I was impressed that it functioned as well as the metal one, without the weight atop the wine bottle.
I've used about a dozen different gadgets - all claiming to be the best - but this one surpasses the others easily. And it's fun to discharge the cork with the little red ball on the screw mechanism
Without a doubt, the best, easiest corkscrew you will EVER use! August 9, 2006

Being a wine lover, I've used all kinds of corkscrews, from your basic twist model to the kind with the "wings" to the two-pronged kind. Finally, I received the Screwpull as a gift, and my search for the perfect corkscrew came to an end! As others have said, the Screwpull effortlessly lifts the cork up, so there's no actual "pulling" whatsoever--all you do is simiply turn the easy-to-use lever at the top of the device. In almost 10 years of usage, the Screwpull has never failed to easily and cleanly remove a cork; on the rare occasions when it had trouble removing the cork on the first try (probably because I started too close to the edge), simply starting over solved the problem. Spend a little more money to buy the Screwpull, and you'll never need to buy another corkscrew again; highly recommended!
Screwpull, Screwpull, Screwpull - the only thing for corks! August 8, 2006

I have used most of their products over the years - from the original turn corkscrew to the really expensive lever models. This is a new twist (pardon the pun!) on the classic.
Somehow the pressure applied by this corkscrew will allow the most feeble cork to turn and lift.
The design can not be improved too much - so simple. This is the corkscrew everyone should use.
 Great if you have problems gripping, but has other problems. August 31, 2005

I bought this because on my previous Screwpull (which I loved, until someone broke it!), I was starting to have trouble gripping hard enough to unscrew the cork, and would often need to use pliers!
I am very happy with how easy this is to grip when removing corks, and would recommend it to people with arthritis. However, there is one thing I do NOT like about it: it is difficult to get the corkscrew itself into the middle of the cork! With my old Screwpull, the corkscrew was easily guided right to the middle of the cork. With this one, it jiggles around, and I have to carefully place it correctly ... and I am not always successful, which often results in destroyed corks or debris in the wine. Seems like a strange but critical design flaw!
So worth the money. April 19, 2005

I was in a car accident and have trouble gripping, and also have pain and limited motion in my shoulders, so even using the wing-style cork screws were uncomfortable for me. I finally decided to splurge on an easy-to-use corkscrew. I'm so glad I bought this one.
You just place the corkscrew on the bottle, then turn the handle clockwise. It's big and rubber, and easy to turn & grip. The corkscrew goes down into the bottle, and actually lifts the cork out, as you continue to turn it clockwise.
Then, to get the cork off of the corkscrew, you just turn the handle counter-clockwise.
I'm so glad I splurged and quit struggling with cheap corkscrews. You do still need the use of both of your hands, one to squeeze the corkscrew against the bottle, and the other to turn the handle. But, it did not require much strength at all.
It's also attractive, and comes in a sturdy plastic box, which is nice, as it won't get scratched up in my messy kitchen utensil drawer!
