HiCoup Kitchenware Wine Opener - Professional Corkscrews for Wine Bottles w/Foil Cutter and Cap Remover - Manual Wine Key for Servers, Waiters, Bartenders and Home Use - Classic Rosewood

Great product and works very well!

I've been searching for a corkscrew that is both attractive and easy to use. Something that I would not feel cheap pulling out at party or picnic, without sacrificing functionality. The HiCoup Waiter's Corkscrew really hits the mark. I now own SIX of them. To start with, it meets all of my expectations for a top quality corkscrew. The "screw" is of the right diameter and sturdiness. The lever is articulated (hinged) allowing for easy two-stage opening. The foil cutter is sharp. And includes a very functional bottle cap opener. The additional "pros" are all nice-to-haves, but they are what make this item a real treat. Prior to this, my go-to opener was the ScrewPull: https://www.amazon.com/Creuset-WT-110-Screwpull-Waiters-Corkscrew/dp/B000GA311Y/ref=cm_cr-mr-title. Not perfection, but good. The HiCoup is superior in several ways. 1) Attractiveness - All of the variants of this item are nice to look at. My preference is the rosewood, but would be perfectly happy with any of the others. By comparison, my reaction to the ScrewPull is ambivalence, inelegant. 2) Bulkiness - The ScrewPull is bulkier and heavier, making it less convenient to slip into your back pocket. The HiCoup, while less bulky still feels solidly constructed and durable. And, yes, I often have a corkscrew in my back pocket. It's shocking how frequently it comes in handy... 3) Stiffness - My biggest objection with the ScrewPull was that the hinge was very tight and hard to open. The HiCoup does not suffer from this. It's not loose, so it's not opening unintentionally, but it's not hard to open. 4) Price - Despite all the advantages over the ScrewPull, the HiCoup is half the price. This allows me to replace all of my super cheap corkscrew so I never have to deal with them again! Simply put, it is the closest I've come to finding perfection in a corkscrew.

Great product for the price. I wasn't expecting too much even with the good reviews, but it's constructed very sturdily with thick beefy gauge metal. I was expecting thin and flimsy material and build. And the built in bottle opener is also a great plus and even has a foldable knife too! I was pleasantly surprised with purchase and probably will buy these as gifts along with wine bottles when giving as presents. I wish all the purchases I make in life are like this. Getting more than what you were expecting for the price is a very rare experience these days and HiCoup sure came through with this product. It folds up nicely too and it's esthetically pleasing as well. Good job, HiCoup! Edit : After a few uses, I noticed that the bottom lip or the step on the bottle opener is a tad short, so it keeps on slipping on the bottle cap, instead of getting a full grip to be able to apply proper leverage to get the bottle cap off. This is a slight design flaw though and not a quality issue. Perhaps HiCoup can incorporate this design change so the bottom part of the cap opener gets a firmer grip on the underside of the bottle caps.

Bel deseign, robusto e resistente

Buen diseño, resistente y de calidad. Quizá, algo rigido al abrirlo, especialmente la navaja que es difícil de abrir.
