This is the BEST corkscrew I've ever had. It is extremely easy to use, no tugging, pulling, or getting cork in the wine. I bought several to give as gifts.

This is the most welcome addition to my cork screw collection. It actually works without fuss on plastic corks. The bane of my other screws. (some very expensive).

I liked this corkscrew, though the ritual of using it is prolonged: take it apart and put it together to use, then take it apart and put it together to store.

One of the plastic arms that hold the screw in place broke after about six months of use. I might have been able to get more mileage out of the thing by applying some superglue, but my wife quickly bought an old-fashioned metal corkscrew that folds up like a pocketknife -- the kind we've seen many waiters use.

Feels solid, and it's easier to use. We'll stick with that.

I have very weak hands and this corkscrew works perfectly every time. I have yet to find a bottle of wine I cant open with this. It's almost effortless. I love it and have purchased as gifts for my wine loving friends.

I bought this after all of the positive reviews on Amazon. I must say that for the price and quality it is perfect... That being said I dont like the device at all.

Yes it works the way it should and it does pull the cork up for you...but there is a lot to be done to get a bottle of wine opened here. The removal of the plastic piece to put on top etc, etc... Feels flimsy and fidgety to me...

The above is my personal opinion about this product... I personally feel that any $5-10 corkscrew works as well as this thing does. I dont get the concept.....

It works as it should and thus I am giving it a 3/5.
