Amazon.com Review
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

 very poor quality June 1, 2010

It is an all-plastic item, with poor fit around the bottle's neck, leading to irritating operation. Don't waste your money !
 Good seller May 10, 2010

Think the seller is a gentleman. he is into business. I received my items on time and good condition.
Took about 4 yrs to bite the dust; great up 'til then. Clunky to store. March 25, 2010

This magical contraption worked its wonders for about four years before it bit the dust. Up until then we loved it. It was quite big, and wound up demanding its own designated storage solution after a few weeks of trying to fit it into various drawers. Once it stopped working wonderfully its downfall was rapid. It got stuck first, then the screw bent, and then within a few bottles it just began pushing the cork down into the bottle with great ease, so it would happen before even realizing it. I'm not sure if it's worth getting another, or if we'll try another brand. I'd definitely recommend it if you've got the space to store it, and if you're willing to buy a new one every few years.
Waste of packaging March 7, 2010

I haven't even used it yet, but I would never have bought this. I got it as a gift. It VERY securely fastened to its 2 pounds of plastic packaging, which you can't do anything with except throw away. I also cut my finger trying to separate it from the tray it was in. Horrible product. And it's made in China. 0/5 stars if that was possible.
Amazing wine bottle opener! January 26, 2010

Works like a charm every time - so easy! No problem with synthetic corks either. Have some arthritis in right hand and this is a great tool.
