Will this device remove a cork from a bottle of wine? Yes, very efficiently. Is it a "real" Pulltap's? That's how it's inscribed. I have no easy way to check. If it is a "knockoff," it's a well made one. The hinges are strong; the two lips (whatever they are called) engage the wine bottle firmly and at the proper angle; and the corkscrew itself is made of hardened steel and is very sharp. Admittedly, I have never studied corkscrew technology and previously have picked up the cheapest available tool at the local liquor store; that said, this is by far the best corkscrew I've owned in a long life opening thousands of wine bottles, and I can't imagine how it could be better. It is strong, effective, compact, and (relatively) cheap. [Aside: The wide quality variation registered in some Amazon product reviews (like those for this corkscrew) raise in my mind the possibility that some low quality counterfeits escape the Amazon filters. For that reason, whereas I feel comfortable buying an item like this one, produced by 19th Century technology, that can easily be checked, I am wary of buying some Hitech mass produced items like memory chips for cameras.]

Easy to use. Sturdy.

This folds up nicely for carrying or storage (way better than most corkscrew designs). It works very well; the two-stage operation provides plenty of leverage, making it easy to remove a cork. The design is sturdy and simple, so I think it will last a very long time.

I still like this corkscrew, but after having my second one now for a while, I'm lowering the rating from 5 stars to 4. Reason - the knife portion is thicker and less sharp then then my first one which is now a few years old. The blade is still serrated, which enables it to do its job, but the thickness and dullness requires more effort on my part than my first corkscrew. The spiral screw part that I like is still sharp and relatively thin like my first purchase. Original Review: This is my second Pulltap Waiters Corkscrew. The double-hinged works great and I selected this corkscrew for the corkscrew itself - it's sharp and relatively thin. Most of the corkscrews I've had in the past were dull and a little big in diameter making it hard to get it started in the cork. I recommend this corkscrew.

Cheap and good quality.

Very handy bottle opener. I have tried many styles and this one is my favorite. The two step method doesn't take long to learn and gives great leverage when done properly. After a few tries, I find it the fastest way to cleanly remove foil and cork. I recommend sharpening the foil blade a little. It really doesn't have to be chef knife sharp, but ships a bit dull. After just a little sharpening, it cuts foil very neatly.

Good sturdy wine opener. I’ve been very happy with its performance & ease of use. Definitely recommend.
