Well TE and anyone else, IMHO, the Screwpull is the most reliable and easiest to use product available. For my use, which is mostly on bottles with some whiskers, I've found the standard model that is hand controlled works best. On younger bottles I like the lever-action model which the Rabbit was modeled upon. The thin, teflon-coated screw will very seldom lose the cork into the bottle. WW
