 Easiest corkscrew ever!!! December 15, 2005

I could *not* believe my eyes the first time I saw someone use a Rabbit. I've shredded SO many corks and even broken bottles trying to get corks out. I've tried so many different kinds of corkscrews (and the two-pronged non-screw-type cork-pullers), and I've been all kinds of frustrated. I'm a big and strong guy, and I've still been frustrated at how hard some corkscrews are to use.
Enter the Rabbit. It's hard to visualize from the picture, but it is SUPER-EASY, once you figure it out.
1) Flip the top over, away from the cork, raising the screw (sometimes called the "worm")
2) Place the two handles on either side of the bottle-neck, positioning the tip of the worm over the cork.
3) Squeeze the handles together to hold the bottle.
4) Bring the top handle up and over, which pushes the worm into the cork -- so easy you can't believe it.
5) Take the top handle back to where it started, and the cork is out! No muss, no fuss, no cuss!
Removing the cork from the worm is just as easy:
6) Bring the top handle back over, as if to put the cork back in the bottle, only without the bottle there.
7) Squeeze the side handles around/on the cork.
8) Bring the top handle back away to remove the worm, while holding the cork with the side handles.
Okay, the ad says "3 seconds". I put closer to five seconds, plus ten more to remove the cork. This is the easiest and best corkscrew I've ever used, and I'd say it's WELL worth the price. The "gift set" is nice, but personally, I don't think it's worth the extra price compared to just the Rabbit without the gift set. I do, however, recommend the Metrokane "Save-the-Wine" Vacuum Pump.
Oh, one more thing -- I've heard other people say that it doesn't work well on the new plastic-style "corks", but I haven't had any problems. It works great on them for me.

Whether you're having wine for a small dinner or for a large party, the Rabbit is what you want. I saw one being used by a friend, and bought one on his recommendation. I'm glad I did.
Other reviewers comment on the ease of use, and they're right: the very first time using it only took 5 seconds to figure out and open the bottle. The simplicity makes you wonder why it took hundreds of years to create -- and compliments from others seeing the device is a nice bonus!
The kit comes with other nice tools -- the foil cutter, too, is a necessity. I'm just surprised I don't yet see this everywhere wine is served!
Works great, hangs tough! January 4, 2007

Having broken a couple Asian look-alikes, I purchased the Rabbit. It is strong, works great and seems like it will last a lifetime.
Great product January 11, 2007

I did not try any of the knockoff products and went right to the original. So far it has worked wonderfully.
Love it! January 2, 2008

Works great. Now I don't need a man around when I want to open a bottle of wine!
