If you can't open a bottle of wine with this corkscrew, you shouldn't be drinking. August 17, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is by far the simplest method of extracting a cork from a bottle. I gave one
to an elder relative who is proud of his complete lack of any physical skills. He
loved it. All you do is turn a crank in one direction.
That one clockwise motion extracts the cork, ruptures the capsule and then
removes the cork from the worm. The device itself is as well-made as any plastic
thing can be. The worm is coated for easy in-out. The Screwpull is bulky: a handi-
cap in a pocket, but no problem in a drawer. There is a full discussion of its '
a tiny treatise on cork-removal and a clearer illustration at the Amazon page for
The New Short Course in Wine.
In a few years, corks will be a rarity but in the meantime, Screwpull is the easiest
device for cork-pulling.

It's extremely easy and completely effortless to operate. I've never been let down by its performance. My boyfriend and I fight over who gets to uncork. The only drawback is that there are three separate parts to it, one of which I recently lost. Not what you call simple elegance. The base does feel a bit flimsy especially when gripping it to use the bottle opener function.
AMAZING !!! July 8, 2007

My six month up date is actually 13 months. This little beauty is still pulling. All kinds of corks from all over the world , including the plastic type, just keep gliding out with very little effort. Italian Pinot Grigo have the densest corks and are very difficult to pull with any other corkscrew. Not a problem for this one, its just another cork. As for my "flimsy plastic" comment below, this hasn't shown any wear at all. Really amazing when you see the lack of quality in manufacturing today. TEN STARS
PS They have a 4 for $ of 3 offer {May 08} so I've ordered extra for gifts.
The box arrived, my new 5 star cork puller....YES!! OH NO!! This light weight piece of flimsy plastic won't survive the first cork. What happened, the reviews are always dead on. Don't let its looks fool you. Not only does it hold up, you'll use more muscle opening a screw cap. Gently turn the handle and the cork glides out so smoothly you don't know its out unless you hear the pop. Turn the handle back and the screw glides out of the cork. I've opened more than 16 bottles and it has not damaged or shredded one cork. No more floating bits in the wine and the cork is still usable.
Over the years I've owned and thrown a dozen or more corkscrews, cork pullers, wine openers; by what ever name; and this is the very best by far. I'll up date this in 6 months.

I broke this corkscrew last night on a particularly stubborn cork... after about 10 years worth of use. it is the best corkscrew out there and i went straight to the web today to find a new one. Great buy.
Best corkscrew ever May 7, 2007

I have tried others - this is the best. After a lot of use, it can break. But they can last a few years. This has a newly improved foil cutter in it too.
