"I've had my first Rabbit corkscrew for more than 20 years, but then the spiral got bent and it started to push the cork down into the bottle."
"The gears are plastic and do not move smoothly."
"Packing is nice and the box is sleek sad it doesn’t work right."
"The only time it has failed to garner praise was when i tried it on one of the Australian wines that had a composite "cork" which was too soft for the rabbit."
"Sometimes on very long corks, one needs to finish it by hand, but that is never a problem. One of the "ears" broke off at the hinge in the middle of an attempted extraction and all the pieces went flying."
"Broke..broke after 2 months of use (the pin lost its right and fell out)."
"I found that the Le Cruset trigger corkscrew was better and I got it for around the same price and it was much higher quality."

A great gift for a wine lover, this powerful, award-winning tool effortlessly extracts the cork from any wine bottle in 3 seconds with simple lever action. Handles with comfortable rubberized padding easily clamp onto a bottle's neck; the lever drives the tough worm into the cork with a push and then pulls the cork out cleanly with a simple pull. The tools include a squeeze-and-twist foil cutter to strip away the foil covering a cork, a drip-stop ring that fits onto any size wine bottle to prevent stains on table linen, a sealer that twists so tightly into any size bottle's neck it preserves even Champagne bubbles, and a "wax whacker" that flips the wax tablet off a wine cork. This six-piece set includes a corkscrew with spare worm, a foil cutter, a drip-stop ring, a bottle sealer and a wax remover.

"When lowering the screw into the cork the little plastic bits hiding the pins flew off and nearly put my dogs eye out."
"It took about ten times around the bottle in order to cut through the metal, and I squeezed hard! Then I put the rabbit in the bottle like it was supposed to and the squeezed the sides together until they touched in the back. Wine label cutter took another ten rotations and the second cork was ruined."
"Previous imitations of "rabbit" that I bought, ceased to pull the cork within 2 weeks!"
"Bought this to replace a similar rabbit wine opener that had broken after years of use."
"My husband knew that I needed a quick and easy wine opener, so he purchased the Rabbit from ORVIS as a Christmas gift for me. I lived up the street, so I went home to grab my opener and a couple extra bottles of wine! I decided that the Metrokane 6010 Rabbit 6 Piece Wine Tool Kit(Black)would be a great gift! They were entered to win the surprise "gift"~the Metrokane 6010 Rabbit 6 Piece Wine Tool Kit(Black)!"
"First time I used it part of they mechanism fell off {a little plastic piece on the side of the handle ( there is one on each side) fell off."
"So I returned it and got a replacement, but it too began to fail after just 3 uses with a plastic cover from one of the cross-bars falling off repeatedly during operation."

Effortlessly Opens a Wine Bottle in Seconds Designed to fit all traditional wine bottles, the electric wine bottle opener offers the same portable, cordless convenience as other wine bottle openers, but with the added benefit of sleek presentation and fast, effortless performance, opening a bottle in a matter of seconds.

Find Best Price at Amazon"How it works: Step 1 - Select a bottle of your favorite wine. Step 2 - Look at the top of the bottle carefully. Step 3 - Use the included (and this is important) "manually operated" foil cutter (works better than the other two I have) to remove the foil. And in case you've never removed the foil before, I know it can be a little tricky, but with the bottle sitting on your counter top or some other smooth hard surface (but not your expensive glass table top) place the foil cutter onto the bottle as it's intended, apply a little pressure by squeezing the foil cutter between your thumb and forefinger and, now here's the tricky part, SPIN THE BOTTLE, not the foil cutter and I guarantee it will work every time. Step 4 - Place the corkscrew on top of the bottle. Try not to get so hung up on if you you have it dead center on the cork, but do try to make sure that the corkscrew isn't leaning over one way or the other, and as straight up and down inline with the bottle as possible. When the corkscrew motor stops running it's finished and the cork should be completely removed from the neck of the bottle."
"She's been using it for 2 months now going through a bottle every 2-3 days so it's gotten plenty of use. Battery life is great since we haven't seen an end to this one and my mom loves wine so it's been a great gift."
"Initially thought it was broken after a couple of uses, but turned out a cork had split inside - took a few seconds to dislodge it, and everything is back to normal."
"Bought this as a gift for my arthritic mother."
"We keep it right on our counter -- my only negative is that for the true wine connoisseur - there's nothing quite like popping the cork with a traditional wine opener -- but if you have arthritic hands, fibromyalgia, some other ailment that would make opening a wine bottle an obstacle -- it is a great get -- ease of use is effortless."
"I STARTED to return this item immediately after receiving it reason being the description is misleading, it says a cordless wine opener with a wine bottle chiller, problem is the bottle chiller is not electric or cordless the way they instruct how to use it makes it pointless I could do the same with the bottle alone."
"A couple things to note: * It does not put the cork back into the bottle. * When you put the cork back into the bottle, push it in as far as you can."
"Was a holiday gift for someone who drinks wine."

"It comes packaged in an attractive black decorative box which is ideal if you are planning to give this wine bottle opener to someone as a gift."
"WOW what a Great tool for opening bottle's of wine."
"It came in a nice box to store it in which is great as our last opener probably got banged around in our utensil drawer."
"Very similar to the original (over $150 ten years ago), but clearly a bit more cheaply made."
"At first I thought that the opener was great."
"I know that wine openers don’t last forever, but this one broke after 6 months."
"I purchased this in October to bring to our cottage at Christmas, used it 3 or 4 times and, like Jim Stevens' review, it came apart."

With a nice finish on the wood and a comfortable grip, it works perfectly in a high paced work atmosphere. I plan on owning this for a long time and since the company offers a lifetime warranty on the product, I don't think I'll ever need to replace it. I dabbed a little bit of olive oil onto a rolled paper towel and rubbed some into the two hinges, thus reducing the friction of the metal and fixing my one and only problem."
"I am very pleased with this item."
"Hard for me to explain, but when bracing against the bottle, you can use the 1/2 way point on the brace and lift the cork 1/2 way, then use the end of the brace to lift the cork the rest of the way."
"The HiCoup waiters corkscrew is an excellent example of this tool."
"I have used the bottle opener, the corkscrew, and the foil cutter extensively, and have only great things to say. So, when I noticed the two dollar corkscrew he was using - which had a plastic handle, and was very loose - I decided to buy him the HiCoup opener. I like the corkscrew so much I decided to buy the red wine aerating pourer. My thought is, if HiCoup did such a good job with the corkscrew, all the other products must be high quality, as well."
"Luckily, I was at The Zoetrope Cafe in San Fransisco this week where the sommelier used the exact opener on a bottle of Pinot Noir."
"Was looking for a good corkscrew to replace one that was worn out."
"Received a free download for The Art of Enjoying Wine which is a nice pamphlet put out by HiCoup."
