This is seriously a bad corkscrew,
By zazoo "zazoo" (wasington, DC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OXO SteeL Waiter's Corkscrew (Kitchen)
Do not buy this corkscrew. I've had a lot of good corkscrews, mediocre corkscrews, and cheap corkscrews, and this one frustrated me so much I just had to warn people off. I trust OXO enough with their kitchen products that when I needed an opener in a pinch, I thought I couldn't go wrong with this brand...but I was wrong. So here are some of the things I don't like about it:
* It is cheaply made. It looks sturdy because of the stainless steel and trademark black rubber, but the main body is flimsy plastic and the worm has way too much give. I can't imagine it would hold up against some of those stubborn corks. * It doesn't feel good in the hand. I know this seems a bit picky, but it shouldn't feel bad in the hand either. Sharp plastic corners make you constantly readjust your hold and take your mind off opening your vino. * The worm's piercing end is at a insanely flat angle, so you have to insert the point at almost 90 degrees to get it going, and even then it may take a few tries to get it started. * The supporting lever is too short. You have to sink the worm completely in the cork in order to pull the cork out. And even then it doesn't always do the trick and you may need a good tug at the end to extract the cork. * The foil cutter is really small and you may not even notice it has one. But it also isn't that convenient to open and you often have to apply pressure to the sharp side to open it. Be careful if you are a bit tipsy not to get cut. Anyhow, it is a bad corkscrew, trust me. All three main parts are bad: the worm, the lever, the body.

Fell apart after 5 uses!!!!! :(,
By Bacchus (New York State) - See all my reviews
This review is from: OXO SteeL Waiter's Corkscrew (Kitchen)
Wow, it lasted 5 bottles!
I want to warn everyone considering a corkscrew not to buy this poorly constructed product. I also bought it because I've had great luck with OXO brand kitchen gadgets in the past. Not only did this corkscrew make opening a bottle of wine frustrating, it literally fell apart after 5 uses. Guess I should have looked on amazon for reviews before buying...

Piece of Junk.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: OXO SteeL Waiter's Corkscrew (Kitchen)
Don't waste your time or money with this corkscrew! Got 2 bottles opened before the screw itself broke off from the main body. No warranty whatsoever. You've been warned.
