Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black

Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black Review



Metrokane Houdini Lever-Style Corkscrew, Black Feature

  • Innovative engineering from the makers of the Rabbit corkscrew
  • Removes corks in seconds
  • Compatible with wine bottles of all sizes
  • All-metal gears and ergonomic grip; comes with foilcutter
  • 5-year warranty
Like the handcuff king it's named for, the Metrokane Houdini lever-style corkscrew works so easily it practically defies explanation. The Houdini was designed by the innovative company that created the Rabbit corkscrew, and is both simple and effortless to use. Just close the side handles over the neck of the bottle, pull up, and--voila!--the cork's removed. Another up-and-down movement pops the cork off the corkscrew. Metrokane corkscrews are independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls; tests assume replacement of the spiral after 1,000 pulls. Made with durable all-metal gear parts, the Houdini works with any size wine bottle. Its polycarbonate handles are ergonomically-designed and finished with a polished luster. Metrokane includes a matching foil cutter and a five-year warranty. --Emily Bedard The Shiny Black Houdini Corkscrew works like magic! Push down, pull up and PRESTO! The cork is out of the bottle! Push down, pull up again and SHAZAM! The cork is off the corkscrew! Opens any-size wine bottle. In Glossy Black finish. The Houdini« Cork Screw is packaged in an attractive plastic Gift/Storage box, and includes an extra spiral and a matching foil cutter.

Metrokane Replacement Worm for Rabbit and Houdini Corkscrews

Metrokane Replacement Worm for Rabbit and Houdini Corkscrews Review



Metrokane Replacement Worm for Rabbit and Houdini Corkscrews Feature

  • Spiral, also called worm, fits all Rabbit and Houdini corkscrews from Metrokane
  • Made of high-tensile steel with mini-bearings in head
  • Triple-layer non-stick coating glides in and out of cork easily
  • Simply unscrew the old one and remove, slip the new one in place
  • Replace after approximately 800 to 1,000 pulls
Even though a corkscrew spiral, or worm, is good for up to 1,000 cork removals, it will wear out eventually. This replacement worm fits all Metrokane Rabbit and Houdini corkscrews. Made of high-tensile steel, the worm features mini-bearings in the head and is coated with a triple layer of non-stick finish, which enables it to glide in and out of the cork with ease. The lever-style mechanism of the Metrokane corkscrew pulls the cork from the bottle with equal ease. To install, unscrew the protective cap on the corkscrew, remove the old worm, insert the new one, and screw the cap back on. The next bottle of wine awaits your drinking pleasure. --Ann Bieri Replacement worm for the Rabbit and Houdini wine corkscrews.

Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener Tool Kit, Silver

Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener Tool Kit, Silver Review



Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener Tool Kit, Silver Feature

  • Striking, easy-to-use, powerful device pulls wine cork in 3 seconds
  • Ruggedly constructed of polycarbonate and reinforced nylon
  • Foilcutter, drip-stop ring, bottle sealer, wax remover, and extra worm included
  • All items fit into covered storage case, suitable for gift-giving
  • 10-year warranty
A great gift for a wine lover, this powerful, award-winning tool effortlessly extracts the cork from any wine bottle in 3 seconds with simple lever action. Handles with comfortable rubberized padding easily clamp onto a bottle's neck; the lever drives the tough worm into the cork with a push and then pulls the cork out cleanly with a simple pull. Releasing the cork involves the same action, only with the handles clamped onto the cork. Ruggedly constructed of polycarbonate and reinforced nylon, the cork puller has the heft of a fine, precise high-tech tool and comes by its name, Rabbit, because it resembles a bunny's head. Metrokane corkscrews are independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls; tests assume replacement of the spiral after 1,000 pulls.

This model of the Rabbit has a velvety, silver finish, as do the four tools accompanying it. The tools include a squeeze-and-twist foil cutter to strip away the foil covering a cork, a drip-stop ring that fits onto any size wine bottle to prevent stains on table linen, a sealer that twists so tightly into any size bottle's neck it preserves even Champagne bubbles, and a "wax whacker" that flips the wax tablet off a wine cork. Also included is a replacement worm--the installed worm wears out after 20,000 or so corks. The set fits into a handsome presentation case with lucite cover for gift-giving and permanent storage of wine tools. The cork puller carries a 10-year warranty against failure. --Fred Brack This 6-Piece Rabbit Corkscrew Tool Kit includes not only the award-winning Silver Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener (Model 6005), but you will also receive a Foil Cutter, Drip-Stop Ring, Wine Bottle Stopper / Sealer, Wax Whacker and Extra Replacement Worm. The Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew is faster than a speeding bunny. The Rabbit pulls a cork in 3 seconds flat, and then automatically releases the cork. The user-friendly ergonomic design opens any size wine bottle. All gears are made of hardened metal, and the Rabbit corkscrews have been tested for 20,000 pulls by an independent laboratory. All Genuine Metrokane Rabbit corkscrews include a 10-year manufacturer's warranty. This Silver Classic Rabbit 6-Piece Wine Tool Kit comes in a handsome "Rabbit Hutch" case for storage with handy spots for storing and displaying each of the 6 pieces.
