Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black

Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black Review

This magical contraption worked its wonders for about four years before it bit the dust. Up until then we loved it. It was quite big, and wound up demanding its own designated storage solution after a few weeks of trying to fit it into various drawers. Once it stopped working wonderfully its downfall was rapid. It got stuck first, then the screw bent, and then within a few bottles it just began pushing the cork down into the bottle with great ease, so it would happen before even realizing it. I'm not sure if it's worth getting another, or if we'll try another brand. I'd definitely recommend it if you've got the space to store it, and if you're willing to buy a new one every few years.

Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black Specifications

Like the handcuff king it's named for, the Metrokane Houdini lever-style corkscrew works so easily it practically defies explanation. The Houdini was designed by the innovative company that created the Rabbit corkscrew, and is both simple and effortless to use. Just close the side handles over the neck of the bottle, pull up, and--voila!--the cork's removed. Another up-and-down movement pops the cork off the corkscrew. Metrokane corkscrews are independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls; tests assume replacement of the spiral after 1,000 pulls. Made with durable all-metal gear parts, the Houdini works with any size wine bottle. Its polycarbonate handles are ergonomically-designed and finished with a polished luster. Metrokane includes a matching foil cutter and a five-year warranty. --Emily Bedard
