Product Description

Its elegant helical screw, coated with Teflon, turns easily to glide corks smoothly out of their bottles / Color: Shiny Black

Customer Buzz
I've tried lots of corkscrews, from basic to fancy, and nothing beats this little guy. It's so simple and easy to use that after the first time trying it I bought two more for my mother and sister. I don't know how well it will hold up as it's not real heavy-duty but as of right now I can't imagine ever getting another kind of corkscrew!

Customer Buzz
The Screwpull Table Model Corkscrew arrived in a clamshell package. I had owned a similar model, but it had a base and cover in which the corkscrew would rest; this model had no such base or cover. Fortunately, the new model corkscrew fit the old model base and the cover fit just great over the new model.

If one were buying the Screwpull Table Model Corkscrew for the first time, I would say the corkscrew would have to be stored carefully in a drawer. It is plastic, and while my old model lasted for many years of good use, things do break. The reason I purchased the new one.

As far as effectiveness of use goes, it works exceptionally well when used correctly. Begin by placing the corkscrew over the bottle neck with foil removed, grip the sides of the plastic covering the sides of the bottle neck lightly and begin twisting the corkscrew into the cork. If the corkscrew sides slide down the bottle neck, back the screw out and grip the sides slightly tighter. Do not grip the sides of the corkscrew too tightly, as the corkscrew plastic will crack if done incorrectly. When the corkscrew is all the way in, keep turning the corkscrew, allowing the cork to extract on its own as you turn the corkscrew. Do not pull on the corkscrew while the cork is still in the bottle. Doing so may damage the corkscrew and/or shorten its lifetime of use.

The Screwpull Table Model Corkscrew is much less expensive than other models, doesn't require changing of the screw, and is easily replaced, more so than costlier corkscrews that work less efficiently.

4 Stars for not having the base and cover, and durability, 4 stars for value, ease of use, and years of enjoyment while I owned one.

After 25 years my original Screwpull finally broke. The previous one opened many hundreds of bottles of wine effortlessly. I have no reason to expect any less of the new one I just got. With fresh teflon on the screw, I now remember how very smooth the old one was when it was new. I have owned several fancier cork screws, but I always came back to this one. If you can only have one corkscrew, I think this is the one. The only drawback is that as it gets older, the corks (particularly the fake ones) can become harder to remove from the screw after extraction. Not a big deal for me, but my wife had some difficulty on occasion.

We had received this as a shower gift 19 years ago. We had tried the fancy corkscrews, but always came back to this one simply because it's so easy to use. After 19 years, it broke and I couldn't find a replacement anywhere. I finally found it on Amazon. Very easy to use, easy to store.

I have used this type of corkscrew for 18 years, and love it. I recently purchased one for a friend, who has also enjoyed huge success with it. Compact and effective, it is an excellent corkscrew which I would recommend to anyone.

I have owned this corkscrew for about 10 years. This is by far the best corkscrew I've ever used. Forget the fancy butterfly models with fancy cases, this works better. There are no levers to pull on this thing and it's nearly impossible to "screw" up the cork. Here's my instructions for it: Put it on the bottle, push down gently while turning the screw top. That's it. This is the only corkscrew that I know of that can be used by a less-than-strong female with a history of breaking corks (who's shall go unnamed, but she knows who she is). If you hate corkscrews because you aren't strong or just seem to lack coordination, try this one.

I am enjoying my Screwpull wine cork opener. The only problem I have had is that it takes a little while for the end of the pointed coil to penetrate the harder plastic corks. Once the point is through the removal of the cork is effortless.

Customer Buzz
Simple, effortless, foolproof. However, there are a few details that aren't obvious from the listing. The screw part and the outer "frame" part are not connected, they just slide together. It's not a big deal, but tossing the Screwpull into a drawer may mean you have to fish around for two components before you can get your cork pulled.

Also, the product feels a bit flimsy and cheap. The screw is teflon-coated, sharp, and stiff, but the housing is plastic, so thin it flexes. I keep mine in the original display clamshell, because I fear it would get broken if left out.

Still, like the title says, it works perfectly. Just set it in place and turn the handle. Easiest corkscrew I've ever used.

Customer Buzz
The Screwpull Table Model is almost identical to their pocket model except for the handle. The Pocket Model is actually the better of the two - it's quite a bit faster, has more leverage, and stores in a smaller space. 4 stars for this version, 5 for the Pocket.

The pocket version is here: Screwpull Pocket Model Corkscrew, Black

i have been using this style for about 10 years. it is very
simple and works great. No mastery needed and no pulling either.
