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

2 out of 5 stars 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.

 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.


4 out of 5 stars Almost perfect design...   February 18, 2008
Even though more expensive than the average cork pull, I bought this because it was similar to a cork pull that I had for almost 15 years that I loved, but finally broke. I wanted to see if Oxo's version would measure up.

And the answer... almost. Pulling the cork from the bottle is a simple task, works really well. The nonstick surface of the screw also works great, making the job go smooth and easy.

The problem comes when you try to extract the cork from the device. My experience is that, especially with plastic corks, it sometimes doesn't work. Or, at least not right away. Basically the cork does not unscrew all the way, staying just deep enough inside the plastic housing that you can't get your fingers in to hold the cork and finish the job.

The problem seems to be how smooth and slippery the plastic corks are, and the ribs inside the Oxo cork pull just can't grab it well enough to unscrew it. One solution that does seem to work: patience. When the cork first comes out of the bottle, it's tightly compressed and also wet. After a while, it expands and dries and then the ribs inside the Oxo pull can grab the cork better, and finish the unscrew job enough that you can grab the cork with your fingers and remove it.


4 out of 5 stars If only it lasted longer...   December 22, 2007
This is a compact, comfortable, easy to use cork puller. It is nearly foolproof, with a handy foil cutter. It lasted 2-3 years, which isn't great, but we liked it so much we got another anyway...


3 out of 5 stars handy   August 29, 2007
Although the cutter doesn't 'work' easily, necessitating another product to cut the foil; the cork pulling mechanism is fairly smooth and easy. Someone with arthritis may have trouble getting it started though.
