Screwpull is really a Coutale February 21, 2009 E. Mackey (Sonoma CA) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I received my first "screwpull" double action corkscrew 3 years ago personally from the inventor: Phillipe Coutale from Cahors France. He is a fifth generation winemaker, a thinker and inventor, (builds and flys his own airplane). His goal was to make a corkscrew that was easier, faster and more reliable than Pulltap. I believe he accomplished his goal. He sold the rights for the black handle model to LeCreuset,the Screwpull brand holder in the US. The even nicer solid stainless steel and the Rosewood handle models are on the market for the same price. [...]
Change the bottle cap opener and it's perfect. December 11, 2007 E. Castillo (Chicago, Illinois) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I received my Screwpull wine key as a Kendall Jackson promo. I think it's awesome. It's very reliable but the bottle cap opener could use some work. But, as a bartender I have a regular bottle opener/speed opener in my back pocket anyway.
I like the "2 step" wine keys because they're great on longer necked wine bottles like the Chateau St. Michelle Reisling at my work or the Fontana Pinot Grigio. This wine key works so well that I don't always even need to use both "steps". The cork comes out with the first step making it fast to get drinks out in the service well.
I love it and even though I received a free one, I'm going to buy one or two extras because servers tend to gank stuff when you're not looking.
Great traveling corkscrew - don't leave home without it January 19, 2008 C. Walker (Eau Claire, WI United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The Screwpull 2 step is easy to use and very stable as it has a sturdy handle and design. I purchased extra ones for my wine bag, handbag and camping trunk. I haven't had any issues with either of mine. It's the one I reach most often for at home.
Great pocket corkscrew September 20, 2008 grn4jd (Los Angeles, CA United States) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I bought this corkscrew while traveling in Burgundy, and it has served me very well. Fits in your pocket easily, and the two-step hinge is perfect for bottles with longer corks. Now that I am home, I find that I'm using this corkscrew more than my original Screwpull lever model. It is just a much simpler device, and has the foil cutter blade built-in, so you don't have to dig out the separate foil cutter. Just a really simple, elegant design. It'll travel with me everywhere.
It really works well May 21, 2009 B. Stott 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Having used all kinds of corkscrews over the years, I was surprised to discover something so convenient and efficient. I can't imagine how the simple two-step action had escaped me, and why it is not the de-facto standard. It handles tight difficult corks that my bulky, sophisticated, expensive corkscrews struggle with. It is also very nicely and sturdily made. I don't anticipate needing any other from now one. I have bought several more since they make inexpensive, useful presents.
