Ordered a replacement because our last wine opener lasted 14 years so the quality is incredible.Disappointed that the case arrived cracked and broken because we've always stored it in the original case.

This was a gift, but exactly like one I have had for years and love.

After using my old version for about 15 years, it broke, and I got this replacement. It works fine, but the tolerances of the mechanism are not as tight as the original, so I’m concerned about it’s probable lifespan. Nonetheless, it beats the heck out of a standard corkscrew.

This was a gift for my brother and his family. I'd seen them struggling with one of those waiter-style corkscrews, and it always ended up being such a big hassle.This corkscrew however, came in a hard plastic box with all the pieces listed and took the wine opening process from a five minute struggle to a ten second breeze. I think initially the part they were most fascinated with was the foil cutter, which cuts very cleanly and easily. When I tried it, I was surprised how smoothly it cut, I didn't think it had even done anything until I removed it to look at it and the little circle of foil came off with it.The bottle opener itself also worked exactly as promised, just place it over it, squeeze, lever down, loosen your grip a little, lever back up and the cork is out! Similar process for getting the cork off the screw. Hold it in the air by the handle, push the lever down, then squeeze, then pull the lever back up. In our case the cork fell off so fast it bounced off the counter! (Much to the cats delight.)

Parents had a Houdini for 7-8 years. Eventually broke in half. Got them another one for xmas, its a great buy and not that expensive. Plus you can open a bottle of wine with one hand if your trying to impressive someone =]

I thought this was stainless steel but it appears to be plastic to me

This is the BEST corkscrew you will ever buy. I've had so many but this is my absolute favorite. It's no effort, open a bottle of wine in 3 seconds easy. You'll definitely wow guests by how quickly you open a bottle of wine. I've had several friends buy this after seeing me use mine. The separate foil cutter is great and a vast improvement over the little pocket knife blades on most wine openers. You also get a replacement corkscrew so your corkscrew stays sharp!This opener is pretty durable. I had one that I had bought several years ago and I just recently replaced it due to a cracked handle after some pretty heavy usage over the year. Definitely worth the money.

I was very excited to get my Houdini cork screw but was quickly disappointed. It was flimsy and took a lot of muscle to make it work. Nothing like the videos I watched while doing my research.
