Will this device remove a cork from a bottle of wine? Yes, very efficiently. Is it a "real" Pulltap's? That's how it's inscribed. I have no easy way to check. If it is a "knockoff," it's a well made one. The hinges are strong; the two lips (whatever they are called) engage the wine bottle firmly and at the proper angle; and the corkscrew itself is made of hardened steel and is very sharp. Admittedly, I have never studied corkscrew technology and previously have picked up the cheapest available tool at the local liquor store; that said, this is by far the best corkscrew I've owned in a long life opening thousands of wine bottles, and I can't imagine how it could be better. It is strong, effective, compact, and (relatively) cheap. [Aside: The wide quality variation registered in some Amazon product reviews (like those for this corkscrew) raise in my mind the possibility that some low quality counterfeits escape the Amazon filters. For that reason, whereas I feel comfortable buying an item like this one, produced by 19th Century technology, that can easily be checked, I am wary of buying some Hitech mass produced items like memory chips for cameras.]

Cheap and good quality.

I still like this corkscrew, but after having my second one now for a while, I'm lowering the rating from 5 stars to 4. Reason - the knife portion is thicker and less sharp then then my first one which is now a few years old. The blade is still serrated, which enables it to do its job, but the thickness and dullness requires more effort on my part than my first corkscrew. The spiral screw part that I like is still sharp and relatively thin like my first purchase. Original Review: This is my second Pulltap Waiters Corkscrew. The double-hinged works great and I selected this corkscrew for the corkscrew itself - it's sharp and relatively thin. Most of the corkscrews I've had in the past were dull and a little big in diameter making it hard to get it started in the cork. I recommend this corkscrew.

This folds up nicely for carrying or storage (way better than most corkscrew designs). It works very well; the two-stage operation provides plenty of leverage, making it easy to remove a cork. The design is sturdy and simple, so I think it will last a very long time.

I’ve really learned the technique with this opener

So..... I have had a Pulltap's corkscrew for ten years, the same one, and I keep it in my purse so I have it whenever I need it. I have used many different types of corkscrews and the Pulltap is by far the best. I have a weird attachment to mine, and since I have had it for so long, I panic whenever I misplace it! Well I recently misplaced mine and after a week of looking for it and not finding it, I decided to order a new one. As soon as I received the new one I questioned whether it was a real Pulltap's or not. It looks very similar to my old one. In fact I found my old one a day after I received the new one so I have compared them. My old one has a foil cutter that is still sharp and serrated after ten years of regular use. This new one is so dull! It resembles a serrated knife but doesn't actually function as such. There are a few other minor differences, a couple markings that are different, and I am still confused as to whether the new one is real. It opens bottles just fine, I just wonder why the foil cutter is so dull on it?? It's pretty much useless, and my old one is still sharp! So I just had to voice my observation, as someone who is a loyal Pulltap's customer, that I would expect when buying a new one, for the foil cutter to be able to cut the foil......

Easy to use. Sturdy.

The original pulltap is just amazing !
