Let's just address the elephant in the room. My family says I am cheap, but I call it thrifty. Either way, I bought a couple of cork screws earlier that left like they would break at any moment when pushing down the arms, and after a few bottles, one arm did bend.So this time, i paid attention to the reviews and chose these cork screws as the review said they are solid quality. The review was correct. This design is pretty fool proof and easy for anyone to use. You do not need super human strength to pull the cork. Just remove the foil, screw the sharp coil into the cork until the arms have reached the top of their range, the place the bottle on a hard surface and push both arms down. Easy peasy.The bad openers I mentioned earlier did not have anything on the opener arms and the metal was thin. It did not provide a good feel. These cork screws have thicker arms and have a rubber grip on them which provides a much more comfortable operation.I would definitely recommend these cork screws for quality and value.

If it lasts, it will have been a good choice. The one, same style, it replaces broke after a year.

This appears to be an excellent corkscrew at a good price. (We ordered 3 of them). It is sturdily made, all important parts of steel, and has a flat, not rounded corkscrew mechanism, which is way preferable. We received the order promptly and the unit is working well. Thank you for a quality product.

It's a good wine opener, not the better. The better is another one but this is another story. We bought it because we had a corkscrew which requires you to pull with your whole arm, like they show in the movies or restaurants. It looks easy, but it's not. In our case, with more limited capacities, we needed a tool with the technic incorporated. So I choose this one that is a very common type (maybe the second in popularity).Well, it is fine. As you push the corkscrew into the cork, it breaks outwards a little, which is not good. The arms of the tool begin to open, but until that happens it will squeeze your fingers a little. The screw penetrates the cork and it twists slightly, so that it does not enter perpendicularly into the cork (which would be perfect).Finally you have the cork out with small cork residues that are easy to remove with your finger or a paper napkin from the interior of the neck of the bottle.Ant there you are. You bottle of win open, ready to be serve in the cup, and toast to a better world with better corkscrews than ever.N.B.: Someone thought that screw caps would solve the problem by eliminating the corkscrew, but this is a mistaken judgment. Wine lasts less time stored after opening. Therefore, corks will continue and we will need more and better corkscrews. That's for sure. Cheers!

I struggled to open wine bottles with a two-pronged opener. This one works great and seems like it will last for a long time. I loved the bottle. Stop with the little ball on top!

This wine opener feel comfortable in my hand it easy to maneuver I like the fact that it has a little Wait to it. The material used it for it is very sturdy. I also love the color of it.

Since it was invented in the late 1800's, this design is available for anyone to copy, but there is nothing preventing copiers from making design changes that may, in some cases, actually impair the function of their copy. This is one such case.Please envision a traditional corkscrew, noticing it's formed by wrapping a heavy wire in a spiral and sharpening the tip, so the moment it touches the cork, it's penetrating, and on its way to gripping the cork.Now please look at the tip of this corkscrew's central shaft: that smooth tip section is about 1/4 inch long, so it must be forced into the cork at least that far before the threads even begin to touch the cork. Probably 3/8 inch is the minimum we can be sure of any penetration at all.I imagine there are soft corks, especially natural (many have some plastic binder added), but some are harder. Not hard, just harder, so you can't just poke them with a nail, for example, and expect to accomplish much penetration..So when I tried this device, at first I just pressed it to the cork with the pressure one normally uses with a good corkscrew, and achieved zero penetration. Neither straight on nor rotating could it poke that tapered nose into the cork. Eventually, as I increased the pressure, ever with no penetration, the predictable happened: the cork went into the bottle. A moment later, I received a surprise red wine facial. Fortunately, I wasn't wearing anything that could stain, but you might be.Short form, they cheaped out by not using a proper spiral wire in favor of a cheaper screw type profile. And as a result, while it may work ok on some corks, it does not work on all, and if you try it with the wrong cork, you could get a surprise shower.I cannot recommend it; please find a better copy (one with a spiral penetrator).

Works like it's supposed to. Quality is good so easy to use.
