Product Description
Forget all that wiggling and pulling! Simply turn the soft, comfortable knob to lower the non-stick screw into the cork, and then continue turning to lift the cork from the bottle. Works on any size bottle.

Amazon.com Review
No more tugging, no more pulling, no more aching, red-marked hands. This cork pull allows easy turning of its soft, comfortable knob. Once the nonstick screw is anchored in the cork, simply continue turning the knob in the same direction to lift the cork from the neck of the bottle. It's suitable for any size bottle, and the clear plastic lets you watch as the cork pull does its work. Constructed of die-cast zinc with a nickel plate finish, the cork pull is as durable and strong as it is easy. --Laurie Notaro

This thing is lousy November 30, 2008
I usually love Oxo products, but this one blows. It is without a doubt the worst corkscrew I've ever owned. I don't use it anymore, but when I did, it routinely:

. shredded the cork in the mouth of the bottle without removing it
. lodged the removed cork inside the corkscrew, making nearly impossible to remove
. drilled all the way through corks, leaving cork bits and dust in the wine

Also, the foil cutter is completely worthless.

Try a Screwpull or a regular waiter's corkscrew -- either would be a much better choice.

Excellent - if fragile October 28, 2008
I've owned this cork pull for many years and I'm glad to see it is still available for purchase. The positives are that it is very easy to operate and take up minimal storage space.

The negatives are that it is somewhat fragile. The black plastic gasket between the silver handle and clear plastic has broken. Also, as others have noted, if you screw the cork too far, it can be very difficult to remove. Thus, Oxo provided a window so you can see the progress of the cork into the barrell of the handle. You'll still occassionaly miss.

Despite the shortcomings, I still rate this as a 4-star product and I would buy another to replace mine if it ever suffers a more substantial failure.

Best Corkscrew I've Ever Owned September 2, 2008
This is an excellent product. It is easier to get the cork out of the bottle than any other corkscrew I have ever used. The product is made of good quality materials. Another key advantage is that it is very easy to get the cork out of the corkscrew once you're finished! With most others I have used, it is very difficult to remove the cork. The foil cutter doesn't work with certain bottles, but I didn't expect much from this feature anyway. All in all, I love this product and recommend it.

too bad so sad July 15, 2008
should have listened to the reviewer who said it's hell to get the cork out of the corkscrew. have to be very careful that you don't pull the cork up too far or you'll spend the next minutes looking for a needle nose pliers. they used to make a better one similar but didn't have that problem.i read that review, didn't listen. my bad m.w.

Not durable May 21, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I got one of these as a gift a little over a year ago. At first it worked fine, better on natural corks, as some have noted here. It was often difficult to remove the cork from the screw, especially the neoprene ones, but I found that the small pliers I keep in my kitchen drawer (for exactly such emergencies) worked well to remove the stuck corks.

However, this screw just doesn't hold up. Only took me a couple dozen neoprene corks before the screw got bent out of shape. Then, it doesn't go through the center of the cork, and ends up splitting and ruining the natural ones. Not a huge deal - I have rubber replacement stoppers and rarely drink wine of such exquisite quality that I'd care if a little piece of cork fell in, but it shouldn't happen with a product of otherwise good design and construction.

Just a few minutes ago, I was removing a neoprene cork from a bottle, and the entire screw broke clean off from metal fatigue. That shouldn't happen with a $20 corkscrew after only 16 months. My other corkscrew, one of the classic waiter's "lever" models, which probably cost $3, has lasted over a decade.

I'm torn. I love the way this baby works, but not sure I'd buy another one strictly because of its lack of "staying power". I drink 3 or 4 bottles of wine a week, and need something which stands up to regular use.
