Troubleshooting an Unusual Bottle Opener: Any Tips or Suggestions?

[heat123]

I don't have this product but a past host and guest asked if there was a special way to use it, as she says it's not like an ordinary opener and is having problems with it? Any tips or suggestions that I can pass onto her would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

You need to be sure to remove the foil cutter before attempting to screw into the cork. I always forget that part!

That's my big thing too! When you remove the foil cutter it is the best opener out there!

After taking the foil cutter off, its just twist and keep twisting. Sometimes it feels like its not going to work, especially at the point where you get the screw all the way screwed in to the cork but just keep twisting and it will start to pull the cork out. Keep twisting even when it feels like it won't twist anymore!

As far as taking the foil cutter off the opener, you just pull straight down on it. No twisting it into place, just straight down. (I still have to remind myself of this!)

The feature that a lot of people like is that you just twist again to get the cork off the opener - very easy.

Also, if you try to open the bottle with the foil cutter in the base you will wreck the cutter - I had to replace mine twice before I realized what I was doing (it knocks the teeth off the cutter).
