Review on 🍷 Effortless Wine Opening with Ah-So Corkscrew: Two-Prong Cork Puller and Bottle Opener by Scott Ward

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Broken bottle, dangerous defect

I like my old bottle opener but I wanted a replacement - so I tried this one. First bottle: no problem. Second bottle: As I pressed it down firmly, I heard a faint clink β€” the sound of a tiny shard of glass breaking off and landing on the floor. And when I twisted the bottle opener, half the neck of the bottle came off right in my hand. (Fortunately there were no injuries.) I looked closely and noticed that the break occurred at the edge of one of the pins. I pulled out my micrometer and found that the diagonal edge-to-edge distance was 18.7mm, compared to the 17.8mm on my old one - almost a millimeter wider. At the same time, a standard wine bottle has dimensions of 18.5 mm - 0.2 mm narrower. than this opener. This bottle was actually slightly larger at 18.6mm, but still wouldn't fit an even larger bottle opener. This bottle is back.

Pros
