Review on 🍷 High-Quality True Jetsetter Black Double Hinged TSA Compliant Corkscrew Bottle Opener - Stainless Steel Wine Key 0.75x4.75x1 by Ian Bates

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Nice device with a few small flaws.

So I bought these when I was away on business so I wouldn't buy cheap corks on the go just to throw them away. All in all a good device that does what it is supposed to do. I only have two problems. First the TSA always wants to take a look at this thing, so remember you have to put it in a bag in a place you can easily take out and throw in one of those little plastic bins before the package gets into the x - Beam. The second problem is that there is a small design flaw, as the axle on which the corkscrew swings only has a rivet on one side, so the pressure exerted on the axle when the corkscrew is screwed into the cork , over time will cause the sides of the device to move apart a little and eventually the axis will slip off. I fixed it fairly quickly by reconfiguring the axle and squeezing the outside edges of the device (black metal) with pliers to re-tighten and slipping the end of the axle through the hole in the side. I'll probably have to do this regularly to keep from falling apart. Putting rivets on both sides probably would have avoided the problem. In general it is recommended. It's handy to have in your pocket if you don't mind the two issues I mentioned.

Pros
  • bottle opener
Cons
  • old
