Vacu Vin Cork Puller,Silver,10.5x16x1.4 cm

Looks basic, however, this removes broken corks and corks my corkscrew wouldn't budge. Excellent.

works really well once you learn how to use it properly but is much more efficient than a normal corkscrew

What do you do when your cork breaks and starts to crumble? Insert this puller on either side of the cork, wiggle and pull et voila. No more cork in your wine and then having to filter it, which normally occurs at inconvenient times. Another essential tool in the wine armamentarium.

Should be more thin the metal parts, but it works and the cover fits, nice

Gets corks out of old bottles of wine every time

Sadly this particular model, or at least the one I received, was not nearly as good as the one, a friend borrowed ... well it is a cork thief after all, so no surprise that it got nicked!! Anyway, this version was badly stamped/formed on the prongs with excess metal, which snagged on the corks, making it hard to slip them without pushing the cork in, or tearing the cork ... filled those off, careful not to damage the teflon coating on the main prongs, but the angle means they stick into more corks than they pull out ... and I'm in the wine trade, so use these a lot! Remedy, was to buy this version: [...] It works like a dream, and was out the box a better made item, with the angle of the prongs allowing a good slip inside the cork/bottle and has not failed to do the job. It's essential for old corks which have dried out or have become stuck to the glass. So Nill points for the Vacu-Vin version, buy the monopol instead, works a treat.

This item pushes the cork inwards it’s worse than useless

You get what you pay for...this product is not fantastic but it still manages to do its job if you are lucky. The tongs are too thick to truly get it in between the cork and bottle lip. So what happens is that it breaks the sides of the cork as you pierce it through. If you are lucky then it only happens at the top with a tougher cork. With a softer cork you might end up with cork debris in the wine. The pulling motion is not great as the handle is actually too small and restrictive. I have small ladies hands and the metal on the handle is finished badly so when i put my 3 middle fingers through, I scratch it on the rough metal. Overall I should have known that you get what you pay for. A cheap product, a bad finish and some significant design flaws.

Is wat moeilijker te gebruiken, wat oefenen nodig

Es hat einige Flaschen gedauert bis ich den Korken aus der Flasche bekommen habe. Wir trinken gerne 10-40 Jahre alten Wein. Mit einem normalen Korkenzieher hatten wir oft zerbröselten Kork im Wein. Um das zu umgehen haben wir diesen speziellen Korkenzieher gekauft. Die ersten Versuche waren deprimierend, der Korken landete als ganzes im Wein. Es ist eine Übungssache.

Ho acquistato questo levatappi Vacu Vin a strappo cercando un accessorio semplice ma affidabile, e sono rimasto molto soddisfatto. La costruzione in acciaio è solida e trasmette subito una buona sensazione di qualità. I due rebbi entrano facilmente tra tappo e bottiglia senza rovinare il sughero, anche con tappi più vecchi o delicati. L’estrazione è progressiva e controllata, senza sforzi e senza il rischio di spezzare il tappo, cosa che con i cavatappi tradizionali può capitare. Dopo un paio di utilizzi il meccanismo diventa immediato e molto intuitivo. Apprezzata anche la custodia protettiva, utile sia per riporlo nel cassetto sia per portarlo con sé (ad esempio in viaggio o a cena da amici). Conclusione: Un accessorio essenziale per chi apre spesso bottiglie di vino, soprattutto con tappi naturali. Design semplice, materiali validi e funzionamento efficace. Ottimo rapporto qualità-prezzo e assolutamente consigliato.
