Seemed pretty solid so not a complete piece of junk. Unfortunately, it didn't work.  It did not smoothly open a bottle of wine and it completely failed to release the cork afterwards.  I ordered from Amazon Warehouse deals so the box had previously been opened, which normally isn't an issue.  Not sure if the product was faulty from the beginning or something happened in transit.  Either way, I  returned it.  My friend tried it and said it was a "poor imitation" of his rabbit corkscrew.
