Buy a corkscrew, get a free rock! March 12, 2008
2 out of 4 found this review helpful

OK, the Houdini seems to work pretty well so far. But here's the thing: hidden behind the glued-in-place cardboard sheet on the back of the case is...a rock. Carefully screwed to the plastic. You can't make this stuff up!

I can only assume that the rock is there to make the package feel heavier. (I'm flashing back to Jurassic Park: "Is that heavy? Then it's expensive! Put it down!")

I'm not sure what to think. It's a) hilarious, and b) somewhat deceptive. I'm actually kind of glad someone is doing this in the world. On the other hand, as a person who stood and held the Rabbit and Houdini cases and scrutinized the differences between them, I do feel duped. But maybe the Rabbit has a rock of its own.

What a breeze December 21, 2007

I purchased this item for my mother. What a perfect gift. This corkscrew makes opening a bottle of wine a breeze. Very user friendly and so simple. The cork glides out without a problem. The only complaint that I have is it is difficult to store since the handles stick out. Although a simple rubberband seems to handle the problem. This item is worth the money and a is a great gift idea.

Great and cheaper than the original November 25, 2007

I was reluctant to buy the original rabbit, just b/c it was too expensive. I bought this new version, and I have to say that my wife and I are thrilled! It's very easy to use, comes with a backup corkscrew if the other ever breaks, and we love it.

Greatest kitchen gadget November 5, 2007
Wonderful product. I have been wondering why opening a wine bottle is so difficult until I bought the rabbit head!

Metrokane Houdini Corkscrew September 28, 2007
This device works, but not as surely as my previous corkscrew of the similar design. The gripper is somewhat uncertain making the cork removal more difficult.
