i bought one 4 months ago andt hink its the absolute best, they use a tephlon coating or something on the screw, not just black paint like some others (trader joes $1.99 opener i'm looking at you) and the ease that it goes into the cork is amazing, the two notch lever operates much better than the waitersfriend, i know they look exactly alike but when you look at the "feet" that touch the top of the bottle these have a different shape and work perfectly.
