 Not as good as the original.....Sep 17, 2009
By William Rosich
....but a solid corkscrew. Love the deeply-hinged boot. Makes extracting longer corks a snap. The hinge action and overall construction is superior in every way to the ubiquitous Pulltap corkscrew.
My big problem with it is the bulk. It has a very wide handle. Not a problem if you keep it in a drawer in the kitchen, but too big to comfortably carry in a pocket; as I need to as I'm a bartender at a wine bar. If you want something with the same design but in a slimmer form, seek out the original Coutale. I found the original Coutale corkscrew for $15 at a certain winery in Paso Robles co-owned by a certain famous family from France's Rhone Valley. (If that ain't a hint, chances are you aren't much of a wine snob.) That's what I carry at work now.
I open dozens of bottles a night at work and I'm very particular about the harware I use. I've tried everything from cheap distributor give-aways to Pulltaps to Coutale/Screwpull to Chateau Laguiole (the carbon fiber Eric Beaumard edition is quite nice) and this Screwpull/Coutale design is by far the easiest to use.

 Screwpull is really a CoutaleFeb 21, 2009
By E. Mackey
"bigmack"
I received my first "screwpull" double action corkscrew 3 years ago personally from the inventor: Phillipe Coutale from Cahors France. He is a fifth generation winemaker, a thinker and inventor, (builds and flys his own airplane). His goal was to make a corkscrew that was easier, faster and more reliable than Pulltap. I believe he accomplished his goal. He sold the rights for the black handle model to LeCreuset,the Screwpull brand holder in the US. The even nicer solid stainless steel and the Rosewood handle models are on the market for the same price. [...]

Change the bottle cap opener and it's perfect.Dec 11, 2007
By E. Castillo
"- s u g a r -"
I received my Screwpull wine key as a Kendall Jackson promo. I think it's awesome. It's very reliable but the bottle cap opener could use some work. But, as a bartender I have a regular bottle opener/speed opener in my back pocket anyway.
I like the "2 step" wine keys because they're great on longer necked wine bottles like the Chateau St. Michelle Reisling at my work or the Fontana Pinot Grigio. This wine key works so well that I don't always even need to use both "steps". The cork comes out with the first step making it fast to get drinks out in the service well.
I love it and even though I received a free one, I'm going to buy one or two extras because servers tend to gank stuff when you're not looking.

Best Corkscrew everJan 17, 2010
By babell2
Screwpull Waiter's CorkscrewI have used all kinds of corkscrews. Started with the traditional twist and pull ones got tired of putting that much effort into pulling. Progressed to the Jumping jack style but got tired of having bits of cork in the wine when the screw punched out the bottom of the cork. Graduated to the Rabbit style by multiple companies, used them until the teflon on the screw wore off and friction increased either to the point where the screw untwisted or handles broke. Single stage corkscrews that you buy put such a load on the foot part where it meets the neck of the bottle tend to chip the neck of the bottle when pulling a particularly tough cork. NOW This two stage Screwpull Waiter's corkscrew is the easiest best tool I have ever used. The two stage foot decreases the pressure on the neck of the bottle and increases the mechanical advantage to pull those tough corks. It makes pulling a cork effortless and easy. My wife loves it as well she used to struggle with the old rabbits and the single lever types would force her to strain to extract a cork. once again BEST EVER!!!!

There's a Good Reason ...Dec 12, 2009
By Giordano Bruno
.... why this tool is called a "waiter's corkscrew". Read the other reviews and notice how many of them were written by waiters and sommeliers. The pulling action can be done in two movements, first partial then complete, with a minimum of force and a maximum of reliability. The cork is almost never broken up, so there won't be cork debris in your wine. It fits in your pocket, it takes up little room in your drawer, and it impresses your relatives from the small town. The European prototype, seen in every restaurant in France, is called Coutale.
I offer this review as a seasonal gift to a couple of amazonian 'friends' who have recently reviewed other sorts of tools.
