Review on American Metalcraft WCS871 Straight Corkscrew by Stephen Mitchell

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Look elsewhere, waste $$

Poor design, poor manufacture, look elsewhere! It's very flimsy, when you try to use the cork it wants to bend at the pivot points. Also, the notch on the lever that engages the bottleneck is poorly designed. The fingers protrude so far that when the cork is pulled they are pressed into the cork, leaving two vertical cuts on the cork. This makes reusing the cork almost impractical (unless you don't mind pulling small bits of cork out of subsequent wine glasses that were poured after the cork was reused).

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Compatibility
