Pedrini Wine & Bar 5-Inch Corkscrew, Chrome

Product Description

Easy to use screw and pull mechanism is among the most popular / Chrome Plated / Professional Spiral / Built-in Cap Lifter

This is a decent corkscrew; it gets the job done, but it is not the best quality. It is plastic-y, and be careful about how far into the cork you screw the screw: if you get it too deep in the cork and try to unscrew it, it just unscrews out of the socket instead of the cork.


I got this corkscrew, put it to it's intended purpose only to discover that it was not to be. Sure, I got the cork out of the bottle, but when I tried to remove the cork from the corkscrew I could not. Trying to twist the cork off the device only accomplished one thing, the whole 'screw' part of the tool kept falling out and I was left with the cork and the screw in my hand. As I could not change the direction of the threading as the designer should have done in the first place, my only recourse was to cut the cork away and store my leftover wine with a makeshift cover. Who makes an item like this? At least some of my fellow reviewers here got one use out of it. I suppose I can try some crazy glue to see if I can get it to hold together, but I would never recommend this item and am rather resentful that I need to now extensively research the purchase of a corkscrew to make sure I don't get screwed again.


I purchased this opener thru Amazon.com and upon its very first use it broke. Normally I would return a broken product but with today's postal rates, it will cost me close to the purchase price to return it. I am posting this so you can learn from my lesson and buy for QUALITY not for the cheap price. You get what you pay for!


I like Pedrini bar ware and though this is nicely made, I do not like this type of corkscrew. They are slow and are notorious for ripping through corks. Do yourself a favor and buy a Screwpull Pocket Screwpull Pocket Model Corkscrew, Black or, if your budget is up to it, a rabbit type corkscrew Screwpull? by Le Creuset Lever Wine Opener Gift Set


this unit is not well designed--
the handle is to small to get a good grip on in order to rotate the screw.
the arms are not long enough to get the cork out a reasonable distance to extract
