Review on Premium Double Hinged Waiter’s Corkscrew with True Wood Handle, Stainless Steel Wine Key including Foil Cutter by Kari Madison

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made and good looking

I bought this as a spare to keep next to the beer and wine fridge. It was inexpensive and good looking, I liked the wood accent and wasn't expecting anything amazing. With those expectations, I'm really impressed and excited about this tool. This corkscrew feels good in the hand. It's heavy, feels solid, and feels comfortable in the hand. And perhaps most importantly, it works well. The double height is very convenient and works well. The included foil cutter is good and the bottle opener works well enough. The fit and finish of this corkscrew is well above its modest price point. The pieces line up nicely, not perfect, but close. The wooden handle is well attached and has a very nice shape. For the price, it's great to get a well made, beautiful, multifunctional corkscrew. my complaints The foil cutter doesn't work as well as I would like it to. It's not sharp enough or the teeth aren't long enough. It works and I can cut the cap off the bottle but it's not as easy as I'd like. The bottle opener doesn't always work. It sometimes has trouble grabbing the lips and the small head is not stable so it rolls easily. It's a problem, no. Neither was enough to deduct a star as both work, it's just a minor disappointment that has prevented it from being a perfect product. In the end I would buy it again. It looks great, feels great and is definitely worth the price.

Pros
  • Waiter's corkscrew
Cons
  • Good mostly but...
