As the simple corkscrew that had served me well for decades seemed to have retired unannounced to parts unknown, on Petra Shops "recommendation" I replaced it with this gizmo. At first, I was baffled by the moving parts — there's a spring-loaded pivot on the metal extension the use of which I NEVER would have discovered on my own. Fortunately, the accompanying directions, with explanatory text as well as pictures for the illiterate or those too impatient to read manuals, made it clear that this feature provides the primary fulcrum for the initial pull of the cork. The end of the metal extension is used as a fulcrum for the extraction of the last bit of cork, if necessary. There's a foil cutter, of course — a feature I didn't know I really needed, but one that proves more reliable and safer than my previous habit of using the tip of the screw to cut the foil — as well as a functional bottle opener. All in all, I'm delighted with my purchase and hope — expect, really — that this is the last corkscrew I'll ever own.
