Shoddy Product
From the adverts and pictures, the Pike Street Wine Corkscrew appeared to be a quality product with sound design features. On receiving the item, nothing could be further from reality. It looked more like a "free gift" item of very dubious quality and poor construction. The impression became even worse when we tried to use the corkscrew. What should have been a twist only operation proved to be almost incapable of extracting a wine bottle cork and then only by exerting immense effort. Possibly the worst product I have purchased for many years. Thankfully Amazons return policy provided for a full refund.

Kind of Complicated
Doesn't look like it will last forever and it is not the easiest to figure out if you have never used one of it's time at any other time. For the price, though, it was worth it.

Could be nice...
If it wasn't so flimsy. The idea is very cool -- the top piece rotates 90 degrees so that the cork gets pulled upwards after you reach the bottom, but the whole thing is poorly constructed so it doesn't always work properly. Its difficult to get the cork out of the opener once you actually get it out of the wine bottle. I bought 4 of them (4 for 3 promotion) and it was $6.xx shipped (amzn prime) though, so I'm not complaining ;)

The design is simplicity at its best. However the quality is not as good as one I purchased 7 years ago.

mediocre corkscrew
We bought this corkscrew because of the description. It sounded just like a stainless corkscrew we bought years ago - which was superior to anything else. This corkscrew appears to be aluminum instead of stainless. The neck is smaller, so it is more difficult to extract the cork. In addition, the "feel" of the corkscrew is light and inefficient. It probably won't last very long.
