I received this corkscrew in green about 15 years ago, and it has not given us one bit of trouble in all that time. It is the most amazing device -- flawlessly designed and excellent at extracting corks. It's lightweight (won't chip a counter or tile floor if it falls) and streamlined to take up very little space in a kitchen drawer. After 15 years, and many bottles of wine, a crack has finally made it become wobbly (but still working). I came on the website today, to get a new one, in anticipation of its eventual demise. I couldn't bear the thought of opening wine without it. Buy this corkscrew -- its a wonderful gadget.

My six month up date is actually 13 months. This little beauty is still pulling. All kinds of corks from all over the world , including the plastic type, just keep gliding out with very little effort. Italian Pinot Grigo have the densest corks and are very difficult to pull with any other corkscrew. Not a problem for this one, its just another cork. As for my "flimsy plastic" comment below, this hasn't shown any wear at all. Really amazing when you see the lack of quality in manufacturing today. TEN STARS
PS They have a 4 for $ of 3 offer {May 08} so I've ordered extra for gifts.
The box arrived, my new 5 star cork puller....YES!! OH NO!! This light weight piece of flimsy plastic won't survive the first cork. What happened, the reviews are always dead on. Don't let its looks fool you. Not only does it hold up, you'll use more muscle opening a screw cap. Gently turn the handle and the cork glides out so smoothly you don't know its out unless you hear the pop. Turn the handle back and the screw glides out of the cork. I've opened more than 16 bottles and it has not damaged or shredded one cork. No more floating bits in the wine and the cork is still usable.
Over the years I've owned and thrown a dozen or more corkscrews, cork pullers, wine openers; by what ever name; and this is the very best by far. I'll up date this in 6 months.

If you can't open a bottle of wine with this corkscrew, you shouldn't be drinking.

This is by far the simplest method of extracting a cork from a bottle. I gave one
to an elder relative who is proud of his complete lack of any physical skills. He
loved it. All you do is turn a crank in one direction.
That one clockwise motion extracts the cork, ruptures the capsule and then
removes the cork from the worm. The device itself is as well-made as any plastic
thing can be. The worm is coated for easy in-out. The Screwpull is bulky: a handi-
cap in a pocket, but no problem in a drawer. There is a full discussion of its '
a tiny treatise on cork-removal and a clearer illustration at the Amazon page for
The New Short Course in Wine.
In a few years, corks will be a rarity but in the meantime, Screwpull is the easiest
device for cork-pulling.

This is the more portable size of two offered by the same manufacturer. After many bottles of wine, we have never destroyed a cork or had the least difficulty pulling a cork. I have tried virtually every other style available and nothing comes remotely close to the simplicity and ease of use.

We needed to replace our Metrokane corkscrew that cost in the $130s. I didn't think a corkscrew this inexpensive could be so effective. In fact, when I brought it out of the box, my husband said, "It feels cheap." It is plastic, but don't underestimate its effectiveness. It opens bottles with the greatest of ease. It is easy to use and work, and it is a compact corkscrew, taking up a fraction of the space in the drawer that my Metrokane did. I have opened a lot of bottles with this since getting it a few months ago, and I am STILL impressed. It even has a foil cutter built in on the side. No more expensive corkscrews for me! Get this, you will not be disappointed.

This is my favorite corkscrew that has lasted me about 15 years. I have other rabbit-like wine openers that also work great but this portable one is so much easier to grab, pop on the bottle, twirl with one finger and...it's open!
Alas, one stubborn synthetic "cork" only let the worm in halfway and held on so tight that now the top of the worm just spins in its plastic housing. I was bummed!
Oh well, lesson learned. Use the rabbits for the plastic corks. And pick up another pocket Screwpull quick before they discontinue it!

This is supposed to be a corkscrew made by Screwpull. It says so in the heading: "by Screwpull".
I purchased this as a wedding gift for $27.99 instead of the lower-priced Le Creuset-branded corkscrews because my 15 year-old Screwpull is still functioning perfectly and I wanted to give the bride and groom a corkscrew that would last.
The package just arrived and, instead of saying SCREWPULL, as is shown in the item description, it is branded LE CREUSET.
It is decidedly shoddier in construction and has an AWFUL, serrated foil-cutting knife that doesn't even open fully as the one on the Screwpull does.
To make matters worse, in the week that has elapsed since I ordered it, the price has dropped five dollars. NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
I'm sending it back.

Easiest corkscrew ever
Already had one like it for camping. When the screwpull handle snapped, wanted another of these. So easy to use.

Verify you're getting what you ordered!
The description for this item says that it's the metal version of the Screwpull, with an engraveable finish. What I received: a plastic version which feels flimsy and light-weight. Read more

good but nowhere near this price
I like this cork screw but this is WAY overpriced by a factor of about 10. Bought 2 of them and gave one as gift a few years ago. Read more

Can't live without it
I have had the Screwpull for at least 15 years. I can't use any other opener. It does 't feel as sturdy as the original but still love it for the all-in-one opener with ease.

I love it.
I had a corkscrew like this before and I liked it very much. After a few years, it broke, so I was anxious to replace it. So much better than that butterfly thing everybody has.

Mandatory for Me
Great tool for every kitchen, beach house, vacation location. If you haven't used one, think of it like a better-than-average manual can opener. Zip, zip, ... open, one and done.
