 Strong and easy to use February 15, 2009

I'd used an Oxo corkscrew with the black plastic wings for years, then it broke on one of those plastic "corks." I replaced it with the same kind, which broke in about 3 weeks, so I decided it was time for a different model. I tried a couple other variations, including a Screwpull, but I love this one! It's really easy to use - you don't have to struggle to keep it lined up correctly. I don't have a lot of hand strength, so I had worried that there might not be enough leverage, that it might be difficult to turn, but that's not the case. It feels very sturdy, and the screw goes into the cork very easily, even the dense and sticky plastic ones. Like most Oxo products, they've made it comfortable to use. After you pull the cork from the bottle, you can continue to turn the handle, and the cork ejects itself from the screw. The built-in foil cutter is nice too.
Best Cork Screw Made November 27, 2008

This is by far the best cork screw ever made. I have used a friend's older model for years. First of all, it's simple: clockwise in; counterclockwise out. Second, this newer model even has a foil cutter that works. Third, the design is the most elegant you will ever see in a cork screw. Fourth, not only does the handle contain the hidden foil cutter, it provides an excellent grip. I couldn't remember its name and searched the web for hours, looking at hundreds of cork screws in vain trying to find a similar looking model. Turns out I only needed to remember one word: OXO.
THE BEST WINE OPENER FOR THE MONEY! September 25, 2009

OMG! I cannot say enough about this wine opener. I cant believe there are only 4 reviews on this magical prodect but then again maybe most people are as excited by wine the way I am. I was hesitant to spend the money with out ever handling the opener but after looking at consumer reports reviews and finding a good deal on ebay I went for it. i couldnt be more happy, i giggle like a school girl whenever using it. It comes with this super cool and easy to use foil cutter hidden in the top half. The opener itself you just pop it over the top, un cork it and then the cork comes out easily when you turn it the opposite way. 123 EASY!

I had a T-fal wine opener for years but wanted something a little more elegant looking with the same ease of use. We purchased the OXO opener last week and I highly recommend it. The cutters are nicely tucked into the handle which is easily removed, and the corks come out of the wine bottles with ease. I would most certainly recommend this product.
A strong product improved! March 6, 2010

We have used the predecessor to this product for years: Oxo Good Grips Corkscrew. This one is even better:
1. a good foil cutter inside the handle,
2. the screw posed a danger on the old one, but this one is completely enclosed, and
3. extracts corks more easily (even though the top is not as wide).
Highly recommended!
[Update June 6, 2010] My wife has had surgery on both wrists within the past year, and she had trouble with various wine openers before that. She had no trouble with this one, and immediately remarked we should update this review. An outstanding opener!
