Franmara Boomerang Two-Step Corkscrew Wine Opener with Built-In Foil Cutter and Bottle Opener - Light Green

I have used this wine opener countless times and can each case gave great results. The quality in both materials and construction is very good too. As such have given this wine opener as gifts and the recipients have thanked me every time. Overall this unit is easy to use and if one goes on Youtube, look up the Boomerang Wine Opener and it will show you how to it first time and every time.

Wile E. Coyote approved. I've got just about every bottle opener ever made, and the foil cutter on this one is the easiest to use in the industry. I also love the effectiveness of the screw itself; it has a "grooved" worm, which is to say the screw has a groove down the length of it, so it doesn't split the cork. Like the best bottle openers, this one has a two-step pry lever so you can start the pull and end it with good leverage that makes it easy to remove the cork without cracking it inside the bottle. This is an Italian made bottle opener that was such a hit on my Camino [de Santiago] trip with a Swiss compatriot who basically stole it every chance they could get. Once we got to Santiago, I gave it to them, and so I had to buy another one after I got home, but it's hard to find in stores nowadays, so I had to get it here, on A-zon. The only other bottle opener I like in this price range, is the American made (NOT Chinese imitation) Pulltap, and while I like the feel of the Pulltap in my hand better, and it folds down tighter, this one weighs a tad less (better for town-to-town backpacking, or picnics) and the foil cutter is better. I like both. I use both, as well as some shmancier ones that I keep at home. But for on the go, you either want this one, or the Pulltap. And for the Camino, this would be the one to bring.

Best wine opener. Server/bartender job - comes with foil opener as well. Need a good opener for pricey wines

I finally had to replace two of these purchased 5+ years ago, so I have good hopes for the lifespan of the new ones. I absolutely love the multi-disc foil cutter. Super fast and easy! And a great travel corkscrew as well - since there's no blade, TSA will even let it go in your carry-on bag. Unfortunately, they are now using a new mold that is ¼" to ½" shorter overall... Doesn't sound like much, but that little bit means a shallower insertion, and also less leverage for extraction. Not so much an issue for single bottles at home or travelling, but a definite distraction for busy professional use. Anyhow - I guess it all depends what you're looking for - For a TRAVEL corkscrew (the whole not being confiscated by TSA thing is a huge plus there!) - I'd definitely give it 5 stars... For higher volume BARTENDING corkscrew, unfortunately the new version just isn't the easy-to-use workhorse that the old one was. So I'd only rate it at 3 stars if you're looking to make it your new bartending corkscrew...

Are you kidding me? I love this thing! I understand that getting all wound up about a corkscrew may seem a bit unbalanced but this thing single handedly healed an emotional trauma in my life. A few months back while trying to board a plane to Boston the soulless minions of our beloved TSA took a break from strip searching elderly women in wheelchairs for hidden explosive devices and seized my beloved longtime travel companion, the corkscrew I bought years ago in Key West. The agent dug it out of my carry on and, holding it aloft in triumph as if he had found a loaded Glock 19, proclaimed it to be a "prohibited item" due to the miniature blade which you use to cut the metal seal. (He then icily offered to let me go back to the airline counter and put it in my checked bag, as if a) there was any chance I could get them to go fetch the thing from the ramp and b) I was interested in getting back in the half hour line at the TSA counter. He knew it. I knew it. And my favorite corkscrew knew it too, I'm certain.) Anyway, off it went to wherever they send the things they steal from our bags, along with a hundred memories. A very sad day which cast a pall on the whole trip. But then I found this little item and the fog of despair began to dissipate. There's no little blade, just a clever little set of wheels which snip off the top of the seal quicker than you can say officious imbecilic government employee. As for the rest, well, sometimes it's good just to move on. It works splendidly in all aspects of its intended functions and I look forward to many happy bottles.

Easiest wine opener ever!

I'm a server/bartender and this is a complete game changer with the foil cutter and long cork screw. Makes the presentation go a lot smoother especially if the wine isn't stored on its side and is upright which dries out the cork, I'm still able to remove the cork without it crumbling into the wine or breaking in half infront of the patrons.. which is always embarrassing. This has decreased the amount of embarrassing broken corks and cutting myself while attempting to cut the foil.. no one wants a little blood with their wine.. Unless they're vampires. Which I doubt because the sun is up for most of the shift. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I first got to use this kind of opener at my winery job. It is the best for cutting the foil then opening the bottle. You won’t be disappointed!

Good and strong. Love the two step puller and built in cutter is what drew me to chose this.

Eventually, you can get an easy-working corkscrew that comes with a neat foil cutter. The price is much too high, though, as you can get the thing in Europe for about 30% of the Amazon price -

This design and rigidity is what I like, have purchased previously and that one is still functional after three years

Parfait . Cadeau pour une amie . Il est très beau et de bonne qualité pour le prix

Facile à manipuler et très robuste
