Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A gorgeous example of design combining the best of now and then, the Built NY Wine Ratchet Magnum breaks new style ground while opening wine the old-fashioned way. A classic ratcheting corkscrew design with an updated ergonomic grip, the Magnum does not use a complicated system of levers--just the pure physics of a stainless-steel auger tip and the strength of the opener. The result is a sensory experience of the cork yielding and a pleasing pop when it comes out. To simplify the procedure, the set also includes a sleek little stainless-steel foil cutter that nests cleverly in the handle and two separate screwbits. Available in multiple colors, the Magnum makes a handsome gift or addition to the home bar, picnic basket, or boat. For more wine-and-dine accessories, check out Built NY bottle totes, ice buckets, and shopping bags. --Emily Bedard

Product Description

The Built NY Wine Rachet Magnum 4-Piece Set in Black Chrome is bringing the "pop" back into the world of wine. The days of sensory deprivation have come to an end! The "Magnum" comes in a higly fetishized chrome plated blox, has a foil hook that nests in the handle and comes with two interchangable screwbits for older and younger wines. The "Magnum" is not for everyone! It does not avoid effort and if anything, encourages the use of fource! Making wine as fun to open as it is to drink. Only from Built NY.

1.0 out of 5 stars Bad ratchet, February 22, 2009

The cork screw is beautiful in appearence. It works well at removing a cork from a bottle. Your screw it in. A ratcheting mechanism allows you to move the handle back without removing your hand form the corksrew, and then you pull out the cork using your own muscle power. However the stopping lever, supposed to hold the ratcheting worm in place, to allow you unscrew the cork off of the worm, does not hold the worm in place. It slips, making removal of the cork from the cork screw extremely difficult. I've had to remove the worm (it pops out easily with a push button) and hold the end with a wrench in order to remove the cork from the worm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful tool, but not for everyone. Does not avoid force., July 20, 2011

Solidly constructed unit does what it says it does. Namely, it allows you to open
wine bottles without mechanical levers and tricks, and brings back the beloved "POP"
you hear when removing a cork. The package actually states "WARNING: This tool is not for everyone. It does not avoid effort. If anything, it encourages the use of force."
