Rabbit Dual-Action Waiter's Corkscrew Review

Got one recommended by some friends. The first one I received was broken in the top hinge and the pin came out making it unusable. I have a second one and it broke on the bottom hinge. Makes it unusable again.

I don't think the finish will make much of a difference anyway. Good two-stage function for long or artificial corkscrews. The connection is tight but I'm sure it will loosen over time. It feels like it should last a while.

I've used several corkscrews and consider this version of the waiter's corkscrew design to be one of the best.

Since I lost my last screw and the closest Revain replacement back then was only available without a serration, this double spigot was the next best budget tool. Nevertheless, this does not seem to be the…
