This device is crude. I was attempting to replace my Brookstone opener, which broke after 3 years. The Brookstone device is solid, but it does have moving parts.  This one looked sturdier. Nope it isn't. It doesn't have the feel of being made out of steel -- maybe a lighter alloy.  It arrived in a plastic box, holding a plastic jig to hold it, and an extra screw. The device to remove the foil is made of plastic (The brookstone one is steel, still works). I managed to get the cork out using the tool, but then it was impossible get cork off the corkscrew.  The method of clamping the cork while pulling lever doesn't work.  I guess didn't realize how good the Brookstone device was. I am returning.
