Corkscrew similar this I had several. But for some time I was looking for one with whom one can pull the cork in 2 stages. This provides this 2nd stage. So spindle (= very important with soul) screw. Pull the cork with the first stage. If the leverage become unfavorable, the corkscrew repositioning on the 2nd stage. Flupp - the cork is pulled - perfect !! My absolute recommendation. Simple, inexpensive and functional !!!
