4.0 out of 5 stars Functional opener and helps to avoid splitting a cork., November 30, 2005

I found the Pedrini double lever opener to be a good buy. There are many others which look similar, but look closer. The Pedrini has a true wound-metal screw while many others only give you a die-cast screw. The difference is important as the die-cast style has a thick solid center to the screw, so it must displace more cork while turning thus increasing the effort and the risk of cork splitting. The diecast screw is also not nearly as strong as the wound-metal and can crack and break; it is also heavier. It is a good value, a good manufacturer and a good choice.

This corkscrew is inexpensive. Spend the money you saved on a nice bottle of wine.

The idea here is pretty simple. Screw in the corkscrew, pull down on the handles. Thus the cork is removed and the wine can be poured. It's not rocket science. Simple and effective.

Oh, and it's dishwasher safe.

This review is from: Pedrini Black & Satin 6-Inch Basic Corkscrew (Kitchen)

Over time, we've all tried many different types of corkscrews. Some work a whole lot better than others. And this is one that works very well.

Once the screw bites into the cork fully, the levers when pushed down normally bring the cork right up. Sometimes, if a body is not careful and if the cork is very dry, part of the cork may stay in the bottle. But this corkscrew, from my experience, can retrieve the potential mess most of the time under such circumstances if one use a deft touch.

In short, this is a good purchase to consider. Simple to operate and very dependable.
