Product Description

The OXO Good Grips Self-Pulling Corkscrew accommodates all wine bottles. Features an internal foil cutter with flexible, non-slip push tabs on the outside of the corkscrew that cut the foil as the user turns the bottle. The non-stick worm slides smoothly through the cork by turning the soft, comfortable non-slip knob. The worm is designed to spiral slowly out of the body of the corkscrew if accidentally dropped.

2.0 out of 5 stars Foil cutter broke, January 15, 2011

So far, I have had this long enough to open about a half dozen bottles of wine without incident. The foil cutter only works if you apply pressure. I applied enough pressure between my index finger and thumb to break it. The cutting wheel broke off the plastic spindle. The foil cutter is a good idea, but not functional for long as implemented.

The corkscrew worked really well for a very short time. But because the connection between the screw and the top section is so weak, it failed after about the 10th bottle (and it was not abused). Some samples should last longer, but the design is so weak that failure is probably inevitable. Too bad - it was nice while it lasted.

As with previous reviewer, used this only 5-6 times before the spiral broke in the middle while screwing it into a cork (actually the soft plastic stopper now used by a major California winery).
