| friedricebob's Full Review: Pulltap's Corkscrew |
I've spent anywhere from $4 up to $35 on waiter's corkscrews for waiting/bartending in a fine dining atmosphere. This is quite simply the best one I've used yet.
First off, the worm is teflon coated, and thinner than some other corkscrews. It simply goes into a bottle of wine more easily.
Secondly, the two-tier extraction design results in far fewer corks being broken. You have to TRY to get this thing to bust a cork.
Third, the regular model can be had for $7-$10 if you can find it locally. When you lose as many as I do, that counts for something.
Finally, this thing is built like a rock. The majority of the Pulltap's corkscrew is metal (steel I suppose). I've had plastic corkscrews break, but there's no way this one would.
If you only open 1 bottle of wine per week, you probably won't notice the difference. But when you're on your 100th bottle of the evening, and you haven't broken a cork, then it's worth it. I've worn the teflon off of the worm on 2 of these (before I lost them). But that took months.
