I was tired of breaking estate-length corks and used this at my daughter's house. I ordered one the next day. The teflon worm is smooth, the serrated knife cuts foil and plastic alike, and the double-action lever allows an easy first pull followed by a complete second pull. I collect vintage Ports; this tool allows me to pull the long corks without breaking. Highly recommended.

My wife and I owned and used exclusively a rabbit for our corkscrew needs for years. We thought it was the best thing going. Then when we broke our last replacement screw tip, I decided I wanted to look around a bit. I researched on this site and found this little gem. The reviews were incredible and the price was perfect so I figured I couldn't go wrong. Boy was I correct. This corkscrew is so easy to use and with the two step leverage you get the cork out with no issues. I am probably going to buy a couple more to keep in the travel kit and on the deck.

Good product, WAY overpriced at WE

Pros

Cons

  • Way overpriced
  • Serratated foil cutter

Best Uses

first, I made the mistake of buying it here. When I searched for this, I didn't find anything, but after I'd already ordered it, I discovered True Fabrications via a friend - I think you can purchase from there for about half the price here. Also, the foil cutter sucks. Next to impossible to get a clean cut with the serrated blade. Why they refuse to make a double-hinged "waiters corkscrew" with a non-serrated blade is beyond me. Aside from these drawbacks, I would recommend it.

Bought for my daughter who works at a Hilton Hotel Restaurant. She has used many in the past and says it is the best ever. Perfect size, weight, durability for the professional. Had her name engraved (Did not go well) as people borrow them and don't return them. She wants to hang on to this one. Need to offer that as an option.

The Enigma Corkscrew

 
3.0

Pros

  • Durable Materials
  • Ergonomic Grip

Cons

  • Disappointing
  • Awkward To Use

Best Uses

  • Cans
  • In The Kitchen

I purchased this to use primarily for opening wine bottles. It was a big disappointment in that regard. The blade/cutter works just slightly better than a spoon. The corkscrew is difficult to line up and center on the cork and therefore goes off the mark, sometimes breaking the cork edge. Furthermore, it is quite long so you have to pay attention to cork depth so you don't pierce the cork and push cork pieces into the bottle. I've opened many wine bottles with this type of opener and especially like double hinge openers like this - just not this one. On the plus side, it is a nifty bottle opener/can opener and has a nice feel in the hand. As a wine bottle opener, it is functional but not my first choice. I read other reviews and bought it based upon some of the raves, but was pretty disappointed.

This is the last corkscrew I'll ever buy. It makes short work of any cork I've encountered.

This is an awesome corkscrew. I have been using a rabbit for years and it worked ok. This simplistic bar style corkscrew is more efficient and much easier to use and takes up less space in my cabinet. My wife loves it and I will be buying one for travel as well.

It it plain looking, but unlike other corkscrews that I have purchased before it does what it's supposed to do and it is small enough to fit in your pocket. Perfect for a waiter/sommelier

That dual hinge really does the job. With the old single hinge pullers I'd end up with a break maybe 1 out of 10. But was so embarrassing. This double hinger keeps perfect linear alignment, not bending the cork which was the cause of occasional breaks. BTW, I became so mesmerized by it that I broke down and bought another... their Toledo! Beautiful wood handle, solid massive feel. I love showing it off at the wine bars in Santa Barbara and Santa Ynez Valley vinyards.

My first introduction to this Pulltab corkscrew was in Montalcino, Italia when a clerk threw it in my bag as a free bonus for my purchase. After trying it, I wished I had gotten some more. The double hinge makes it very easy to use, even for a nonprofessional like me. I was very happy to find the same item back here in the States on the WE website. Although it isn't "free" like the one I got in Italy, it is relatively inexpensive compared to may contraptions on the market. Unlike many of those (and I have tried a bunch of them), this is by far the most reliable and very easy to use. I purchased several to give to my grown children.
