Title: Worked fine for awhile
Product review: I bought this three years ago and it worked fine for about 5 or 6 months. Then it became more and more difficult to extract and release the corks. Finally, after even my husband struggled to work it, I replaced the worm. But that only helped for a few months until super-human strength was once again required. It works fairly well if the wine cork is not in tight but it's not good on tight corked bottles. A word of caution: When you are releasing the cork, make sure your finger is not between the trigger and the handle when the trigger comes down to meet the handle. It requires so much downward force that I have bruised my hand several times when the lever came down hard on my knuckle. I hope by now they have made some engineering improvements on this wine opener.
