Metrokane, Rabbit Zippity 2-Step Waiter's Corkscrew, Black or Red (Colors May Vary)

First my summary: Best. Corkscrew. EVER. Now, details. This is the second Zippity I have purchased for my own use. After years of constant use the first one somehow came apart. (Note: I felt no remorse having to replace it after such a long time of flawless service.) I ordered a replacement and was amazed to find I had been fooled by a knock-off. It was called a Rabbit but there was no comparison to the real item! Buyer beware! This real deal is in a class by itself. This site will likely prevent me from inserting a link to the counterfeit item (also purchased from Amazon) so I will describe the differences. First off, both the genuine Rabbit Zippitys I received are red; the other is black. The real one has "rabbit 2 step Patent" stamped into the metal; the other just says "rabbit". The foil cutter on the real one is terrific and folds automatically when you open the corkscrew; the other does not. Both units appear to have a hinge to ease pulling of corks; the imposter does not move; the real deal makes opening a bottle a pleasure every time. The actual screw on the real unit glides through corks effortlessly; the other does not. Finish is also not equal: the real Rabbit Zippity is lovely to look at, shiny red and silver metal with a bit of black plastic under the screw like a little nest; there is a convenient hole at the end to hang on a hook if you wish. There are no sharp points or edges to catch on something if you keep it in your pocket. All moving parts work smoothly and effortlessly; weighs 2 3/8 oz. The knock-off is painted in a satin black finish that started rubbing off immediately. The moving parts have been so tight I had trouble operating it, and even had to try WD-40 on all the joints. This one weighs in at a hefty 3 3/4 ozs, a big difference in your pocket and no hanging loop, and there are sharp metal edges sticking out; the screw itself does not fold close to the main handle and is a safety hazard! It's shape is significantly bulkier. But the worst point on that sad puppy is that every time I use it, no matter the bottle, it grinds against the glass with a terrible sound and I fear bits of glass are ending up in the first pour. Unacceptable!!! And my attempt to reach customer service went unanswered. I did my homework and realized my mistake and promptly reordered this Rabbit Zippity 2-step and could not be happier.

This opener was a replacement for one that broke. Identical item. The old one was probably used for 10 years. Very good value, and the 2 step opening process makes it easy to uncork any wine bottle. Easy to use. We like these more than other more expensive bottle openers.

Working in the restaurant business this beats all other corkscrews, hears why: First off its double hinged which means quicker bottle opening and less chances of corks getting torn in half, the bottle cap opener is facing the opposite direction than all other waiter corkscrews this lets you hold onto the bottle cap as you pop it off so it doesn't drop, the lever hinge is perfectly stiff on other corkscrews it might be too stiff which makes it hard to open with one hand or it might be too loose which is annoying because as you turn the corkscrew into a cork the lever will dangle and get in the way, this one stays where you put it. the lever is design to push the foil cutter back in automatically, this is good because theres less chance of stabbing or cutting yourself or cutting your pocket or apron if you forget to fold the knife back in. Its thin, nothing more annoying than an overly clunky corkscrew. It's durable a friend of mine who is a bartender used it everyday for about five years and it still works perfectly the only thing that slightly wore out was the knife, but thats after opening about ten to fifteen bottles of wine every day for 5 years.

I got this corkscrew to replace a generic 2-step waiter corkscrew I lost. As a 2-step corkscrew it is very easy to use and conveniently sized. The foil cutter is serrated to make cutting easier. It does cut through the foil quite well, although not the best ever. Compared to my last corkscrew ( Double Hinged Waiter Style Corkscrew - Black ) this one feels heavier and more solidly built, but a little stiff. The only negative is the price, which is higher than a generic equivalent which can work just as well. Another point of interest, the one I received was red instead of black. This doesn't bother me, but perhaps this is sold in assorted colors (the description does not say). If you insist on a black one, keep in mind that may not be what you get. Pros: * Easy to use and ergonomic. * Fairly slim worm makes it easy to use without breaking the cork. * Good foil cutter. * Very solid construction. Cons: * A little stiff. * More expensive than alternatives.

I like this corkscrew because it has a two step lever that can pull those long corks, instead of the one step style that sometimes stops before the cork is removed.

I’ve had every other cork tool. Keep it simple. This one is the only one that hasn’t broken and is still easiest to use. The electric ones are useless. The geared ones are painful. Other sommelier‘s tools look similar to this one but hurt to use. Useful, yes. Value, yes. Don’t try to get fancy on this one.

This is my favorite wine opener. Easy to use!

This is the 2nd of these bottle openers I own. My first one has probably opened 3,000 bottles and it still seems perfectly fine. I bought a second as backup but really used both this week on our first shift to help with a rush where I had to open 2+ bottles at once. I am on the Houston Rodeo Wine Garden committee so every year during rodeo season I will open 600+ bottles of wine. The committee gave me a free opener that lasted less than 1 shift. I bought one at specs that lasted 2 shifts. Then I found this one and have used it exclusively since 2017.

Totalmente practico y fascil de usar, tiene dos escalones de palanca lo que lo hace mas sencillo de operar, la navaja para destapar la botella lo hace ideal, lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Best corkscrew.

Resistente y buenos acabados

Este sacacorchos me lo recomendó un amigo. Es sólido de buena calidad, el espiral tiene recubrimiento de teflón y es muy cómodo de usar. Es muy bonito :)

Se que suena extraño poner un adjetivo califiativo de elegante a un sacacorchos pero así lo es, muy buenos materiales y buen uso, aunque al principio pudiera resultar algo complicado, funciona muy bien
