True Twister Self Pulling Wine Opener Manual, Heavy Duty Metal Chrome and Plastic Corkscrew, Cork Openers, Home Bar Accessories, Set of 1, Black

This is our 4th attempt to find an effective + easy to use wine opener. This one not only works to open corks quickly and smoothly, but also allows quick removal of the cork-- unlike several others that put up a fight. Even with some arthritis in hands, it's a WOW!

I've used one similar to this for years. Loved it--so easy to use.The handle was made of plastic and ultimately broke. The handle on THIS model is metal and not likely to ever break. I have all sorts of corkscrews/openers and none compare with this model. You just turn the handle--no downward pressure from your hand is necessary. I highly recommend this opener.

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.

Excellent! Works great, and I didn't need an instruction booklet.

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.

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!

These wine bottle openers are the only kind we like to use. They are easy to use and do not take up much room. Great for home or travel.
