I have the bad reviews did not believe me and ordered this corkscrew. He also worked for a few weeks just fine. But then came a more tightly fitting corks. The cork from the bottle I received yet. But in trying to pull the cork from the screw, the plastic handle broke from the metal lever. And I saw then that the metal lever is recessed about 2 cm in the plastic. This is the weak point - and here the plastic broke out. Too bad - I really like uncorked the bottle with him - but slightly more than 6 weeks, he should already hold. It's great that you can easily reclaim something from Amazon - if you bought there !! In short: looks very good and stable, but does not stop in difficult corks !!!
