Screwpull Table Model Metal Trilogy Bottle Opener, Satin Chrome Review
My husband and I went through many different types of corkscrews before receiving our first Screwpull model years ago as a gift (ours looked just like this one: Screwpull Table Model Corkscrew, Black, except that it was translucent brown in color). We were extremely impressed with the Screwpull! Unlike "rabbit ears" or other models, there is nothing to push or pull: you simply position the Screwpull over the cork, twist the screw part into the cork using the handle at the top of the unit, and voila!--the cork magically lifts into the Screwpull, seemingly of its own volition. The Screwpull never fails to remove even the most stubborn corks without any crumbling or debris.
Even though our original Screwpull performed flawlessly for many years, it was made of plastic, and my husband mentioned that it would be nice to have a metal model. So, when searching for Christmas gifts for him, I was thrilled to discover that the Screwpull brand had *just* started making a metal version of their fabulous product! I chose the Screwpull in "Satin Chrome," a smart-looking silver unit with a black top. This sturdier Screwpull works just the same as our old model yet seems much more durable overall. Furthermore, Screwpull added a small but significant little innovation to this newer version: the "Activ-Ball"! Before, the only thing that was sometimes a problem with the old Screwpull was getting the cork off the screw part once you were done; now, you just turn the handle the other way, and a little red ball gently pushes the cork right off!
There are fancier, more elaborate corkscrews out there, but I don't know why anyone would bother with them. No matter what kind of corkscrew you get, just make sure it is a Screwpull, and better yet, get this model--highly recommended!
