This corkscrew is a god-send.I have arthritis in both hands and wrists; opening a bottle of wine was both difficult and painful.With this device it is as easy as cutting through soft butter.And better yet, no struggling to get the screw out of the cork.It removes the cork from the bottle, then slick as can be, removes the cork from the corkscrew.What more could one ask for?

Metrokane Rabbit 6-Piece Wine-Tool Kit, Black Review

I could *not* believe my eyes the first time I saw someone use a Rabbit. I've shredded SO many corks and even broken bottles trying to get corks out. I've tried so many different kinds of corkscrews (and the two-pronged non-screw-type cork-pullers), and I've been all kinds of frustrated. I'm a big and strong guy, and I've still been frustrated at how hard some corkscrews are to use.
Enter the Rabbit. It's hard to visualize from the picture, but it is SUPER-EASY, once you figure it out.
1) Flip the top over, away from the cork, raising the screw (sometimes called the "worm")
2) Place the two handles on either side of the bottle-neck, positioning the tip of the worm over the cork.
3) Squeeze the handles together to hold the bottle.
4) Bring the top handle up and over, which pushes the worm into the cork -- so easy you can't believe it.
5) Take the top handle back to where it started, and the cork is out! No muss, no fuss, no cuss!

Removing the cork from the worm is just as easy:
6) Bring the top handle back over, as if to put the cork back in the bottle, only without the bottle there.
7) Squeeze the side handles around/on the cork.
8) Bring the top handle back away to remove the worm, while holding the cork with the side handles.

Okay, the ad says "3 seconds". I put closer to five seconds, plus ten more to remove the cork. This is the easiest and best corkscrew I've ever used, and I'd say it's WELL worth the price. The "gift set" is nice, but personally, I don't think it's worth the extra price compared to just the Rabbit without the gift set. I do, however, recommend the Metrokane "Save-the-Wine" Vacuum Pump.

Oh, one more thing -- I've heard other people say that it doesn't work well on the new plastic-style "corks", but I haven't had any problems.It works great on them for me.

Open Smart Plastic Package Opener Review

I made a large purchase of computer parts that arrived in the heavy clear plastic containers and dreaded opening the containers with scissors or a knife or box cutter.A friend offered me a smaller package opener that would have worked okay for occasional use but was too cumbersome for what I needed.I ordered the Open Smart Package Opener and it worked like a dream in opening the packages.It would have taken me days to open all those containers but only a few hours with the Open Smart Package Opener.I would love even better to have an all metal version of this opener though.

Product Description:
It's designed to cut open tough plastic packaging - you know - the kind that seems to be popping up everywhere from general household items to toys to items for the office.It's so simple to use; just align along the package flange, pull the trigger to puncture the plastic, then pull along the side and open.Plastic packaging is typically sealed along the edge using heat.This creates a hard edge that is nearly impossible to tear open
