Description of Houseables Boomerang Wine Opener - 3 in 1 Corkscrew for Waiters, Sommeliers & Restaurants

EFFORTLESS BOTTLE OPENING: No more using knives to cut the foil from wine bottles. This Boomerang Corkscrew features a built in retractable Foil Cutter allowing you to remove both the foil and cork in 15 seconds or less! The Foil Cutter is not sharp. DUAL USAGE: This corkscrew has the ability to work on almost any bottle including both wine bottles and beer bottles. Just flip out the metal opener and you're good to go. GREAT LEVERAGE: The boot lever works better than most other bottle openers. The boot lever locks up straight during insertion. With the spiral fully inserted into the cork, the first pull extracts about 7/8" of the cork. SLEEK AND COMPACT: Measuring 5-1/4" long, its slim pocket size allows this to easily fit inside your servers' aprons without the need to carry around other tools so they can quickly pull it out for servicing your guests. GREAT FOR ANY ENTHUSIAST: Whether you're a waiter in a cafe, a sommelier in a fine restaurant, or just a well-prepared friend at a party, the Boomerang Corkscrew is the perfect companion for anyone who loves alcohol and spirits, and loves to be prepared for whatever occasion that responsibly calls for a round for everyone to enjoy themselves with a great drink, no matter how it comes bottled.

This baby is always with me

The funnest tool I have. It works well for crown caps, wine corks, plastic caps, it is a versatile drinking companion. It's pretty good quality and the weight feels very premium. Small flaws in the casting give it character and do not lead to loss of functionality. This guy will accompany me wherever I want to have a drink.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Fits

Works very well good for corkscrews and bottle openers

This corkscrew replaces a similar one that we have used for many years. This new one works just as well as the old one. This is safe as there is no exposed blade to cut through the plastic or thin aluminum cap over the top of the cork. The circular knife works very well and removes the top of this cork cap quickly and cleanly. A simple design that is well made and much easier to use than some of the larger and more complex wine openers on the market. I recommend this product.

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Almost never

NOT a real BOOMERANG!

This is NOT a boomerang opener - it's a cheap fake that doesn't work as well as the real boomerang. I'm a bartender and I only use Boomerang openers for my work. I persuaded another bartender to stock up on enough for a while and we made a bulk order for 8! Now I'm stuck on these crappy openers and it's too late to return them. fraud

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • High Price

Every waiter uses it. You should too.

Compact, fits easily in waiter's apron pocket, unfolds easily for use. Cuts the top of the foil quickly and cleanly (no ugly, ripped, torn foil). The polished wire screw screws in easily without tearing the cork. It has a good lever for easy cork removal. Bought to replace the one we forgot at AirBnB, it's only slightly heavier in the hand than the version you can find at Williams Sonoma, but just as functional and perhaps more durable, it should last. Life. As elegant as a quality hammer for…

  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Thin

An Unanswered Tease

I bought this item for my wife because her arthritic hands prevent her from holding a typical wine bottle opener. The photos promoting it made it look to the world like part of the foil cutting tool was being tightened and locked as it was being cut, rather than being held together by hands (at least not my wife's hands). nope Nothing like that. So I'm disappointed that it doesn't work, which is the main reason I bought it. OTOH, it seems like a well made and very useful multi tool at a great…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Almost everything is there

Try Mikey, you will love it!

This is a much more powerful version of the corkscrew I had to replace. I was specifically looking for this design. I've used MANY types of openers including rabbit openers, quill openers, and gas openers. I think I would take it first because of the versatility and functionality. I particularly like the function and design of the foil cutter. The auger also has a good pitch to width ratio. I rarely, if ever, break a cork with it. It starts smoothly and the fulcrum works as it should and is…

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion

HOW CAN YOU ASK ME WHAT I USE IT FOR? WAKE UP AMAZON --- IT'S A CORKSCREW! THIS PULLS OUT CORKS!THIS EXCELLS IN TWO CRITICAL AREAS: 1. THE FOIL CUTTER GRABS THE CORK AND REMOVES IT CLEANLY AFTER A FEW TWISTS (I HOPE THE LITTLE KNIVES WILL NOT DULL IN USE). 2. THE GEOMETRY BETWEEN HANDLE AND METAL LEVER IS PERFECT. (IF YOU PICK BEFORE YOU KNOW ---- THE CORK IS MISSING!) Unlike expensive junk with fake handles! THAT'S HOW I LOVE IT --- BYE! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE! PS FOR AMAZON; THEY HAD A…

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Bad imitation, do not buy.

Having used an authentic Boomerang corkscrew as a professional bartender for many years, I was extremely disappointed with this boomerang imitation. Problem with foil cutter First, the foil cutter doesn't slide freely, but it should. You don't have to use two hands to open the foil cutter after trying to cut the foil. The second problem with the foil cutter is that it doesn't cut foil well. The corkscrew and lever seem to work well, but when you have a lot of bottles of wine the foil cutter…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Doubtful
