Easy-Turn Corkscrew

This is absolutely the BEST wine opener -- unless you want one of the fancy automatic or electric ones. Easy to use and easy to get the cork off!

I have no strength in my hands. With this corkscrew I can open wine! It is so easy to use. I have gifted it to many of my friends.

This is a great design. It's self aligning to a certain extent, making it easy to hit the center of the cork every time. It lacks those wings that most corkscrews have which are such a pain. The corkscrew is long, and by continuing to turn the handle after it is fully extended it pulls the cork out of the bottle. It's a little tough to turn the handle at that point, but it's easier than the wing design. It pulls the cork almost completely, too, so it requires next to no exertion to pull the cork once the screw is fully engaged. Removing the cork is easy, too. Simply grip it tightly by squeezing the body and turn the screw the other way. The screw is not captive on the body, though, so you end up with a 2 piece opener. Not the best design, but still better than the common one.

I've been uncorking wine bottles for 50 years (gee, time keeps on slipping into the future). This is the best tool I've had. The handle provides all the pressure you need to insert the cork screw and if the cork is good the turning process will pull the cork free of the bottle. It can be a bit difficult getting the cork out of the handle, but that's a small price to pay. Bonus. An engineer friend taught me a better way to start. Get a utility knife and cut up (verticle) and under the foil wrapper around the bottle top. Peel off the foil, then use your corkscrew. It is amazing how easy it is to remove the wrapper and how much easier it is to uncork the bottle without the foil around. I used to work a knife around the top of the bottle and cut the top off the foil which was never easy. This upstroke taking slices of the foil never puts the knife edge against the glass and only rips through the wrapper. It is stupidly easier.

I appreciate that there are people much more dexterous than I am, and they don't need this simple but efficient tool, but it has saved me from constant corking, cursing and humiliation. A chimpanzee could quickly and flawlessly open a bottle of wine with this tool, so it's a cinch for even the most ham-handed human.

Highly recommend the *EASY* to use and reliable Twister Corkscrew! After my decades-old original 'Screwpull' finally began to disintegrate, I ordered this as a replacement. I chose it over other similar products for a couple reasons. First, the length is ~6". The extra length, as well as the larger, ergonomic handle, seems to make a noticeable difference in comfort of handling and stability, while using. (Screwpull ~5.5", assembled.) The *ONLY* alteration I would recommend for the Twister would be ─ • Either a built in blade, as on the original Screwpull; or ─ • To provide a separate foil cutter. (I now use a foil cutter from another set, as shown in photo.) Because this corkscrew is so handy and also easily fits into kitchen drawers, I find myself using it far more often than the expensive "Bunny ears" opener, I previously preferred! The second reason I chose the 'Twister' over another Screwpull ─ the Screwpull Company was acquired by Cuisinart. (Don't get me wrong, I love my Cuisinart Food Processor!) Unfortunately, as a result, though ─ the cost of a Cuisinart Screwpull is significantly more than they were before. (?)3X more expensive than the Twister! Though originally purchased as quick replacement, I'm impressed enough with the quality and ease of use that I can't find a reason to spend $30, when I'm perfectly happy with this product!

Screw diameter is so large that it breaks corks. Too bad, screw usually pulls rock!

This cork screw is a sturdy little workhorse. Because of the wonderful handle, it is a breeze to use, even with arthritic hands. This may become my favorite and most appreciated hostess gift.

Remember Screwpull? It was the simplest and best way to remove a cork from a bottle! Place the body over the bottle and drop the screw down the guide hole and twist, the cork is threaded properly and comes out smoothly. To remove the cork from the device, gently squeeze the sides and twist the other way. Simplicity itself! Unfortunately, the patent was sold and the current manufacturer does not seem to promote it, but here it is in its new incarnation! Use it once and give your drawerful of bulky, complicated, finger nipping and expensive corkscrews to the nearest recycling depot!

me gusto mucho bastante funcional y facil de usar

La verdad no tomo pero llego muy bie ahora falta ocuparlo

Does what it says - we'd had a similar design but different make and were keen to replace it when it finally broke after many years of service. This one is really good, sturdy and works well. Happy with this purchase and would recommend.

This easy twist corkscrew works so well and it's so easy. My only regret is not buying this sooner. Seems well-built so I expect it will last for many years.
