Product Description
Fast, efficient, comfortable and fun, this is no garden variety corkscrew! It will extract a cork in as few as three seconds from all sizes and types of wine bottles. Not only will it pull those really resistant corks, it also works on fragile, disintegrating corks.
Amazon.com Review
Enjoying a glass of fine wine shouldn't begin with fishing out that old souvenir opener from the back of the kitchen drawer. Instead, Metrokane's Rabbit corkscrew offers an intelligent design backed by well-built materials to swiftly and gracefully open any wine bottle. Operation is incredibly simple: just place the neck of the bottle between the two ear-shaped arms, then lift the lever on top and the cork comes right out. Crafted of hardened polycarbonate metal and reinforced nylon, the tool is made to hold up to heavy use, and ergonomic padding on the lever keeps it comfortable. With its smooth, velvety black finish and unique shape, the Rabbit manages to look industrial and sleek-sure to draw attention at social gatherings. The tool also comes with a foil cutter and an extra spiral worm. All pieces are packaged in a padded gift case. Metrokane ensures the corkscrew with a 10-year warranty. --Kara Karll

 Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew July 28, 2010
Ross A Swanson (Redding, CA, US)
After four years of great service, my MASTER CLASS corkscrew started to fall apart, so I ordered a Metrokane Rabbit corkscrew as a replacement. When the package arrived, the plastic case had been damaged in shipment, but I decided to just put tape on it and not go through the hassle of returning it. The very first time I used the Rabbit corkscrew it failed to pull out the cork, (the corkscrew unscrewed out of the cork), so I got out my old Master Class to complete the job. I then went to Metrokane's website to check out the FAQ's. It said if the cork fails to come out you are not squeezing the handles tight enough. The next time I used the Rabbit I squeezed the handles as tight as possible and it failed on the first attempt,(the corkscrew unscrewed from the cork), but it pulled the cork out on the second attempt. I have now used the Rabbit on appx. 12-bottles of wine, and it takes a minimum of two to three attempts to finally get the cork out! I am 6-ft., 200-lbs, and squeezing the handles is not the problem! I think Metrokane needs to redesign this product.

 the rabbit June 19, 2010
Frank V. Alessi (vestal, ny United States)
Got this as a gift one month ago and all went very well until the rubber that encircles the bottle top before you press the handle down is coming apart. And I used it just as they say.
I called and later got a phone call saying I would have to pay shipping back plus $10. I emailed and asked why I should pay for a defective product. Answer- that's the 10 year warranty. Let's see---$35 or so dollars, one month use, probably $15 or so dollars to pay them and ship it back---not a very good warranty. Excellent when it works and I was perfectly happy with my waiter's corkscrew. The rabbit is fun to use. More than I can say for the company. Oh yes, they said I would also have to show proof of purchase. I explained it was a gift from a person I don't know well enough to do such a thing. Lastly, a friend who knows wine and all about it said he has never heard of a rabbit holding up for very long.
DO NOT EVER BUY THIS!!!!! June 6, 2010

This is the crappiest product I have ever bought. I had problems at the outset, I contacted the manufacturer and they said it was 'my fault, I wasn't using it right'. Excuse me? because I opened wine incorrectly. (Say What?) They sent me a replacement screw but it made no difference.
After opening about 50 bottles (mostly painfully) it finally broke altogether. Useless plastic junk. DO NOT BUY! Useless garbage...
 Bad Packaging, Good Product May 19, 2010
Thomas M. Fina (Vermont, US)
After looking at these things forever I finally decided on a reasonably priced one that got alot of reviews. The biggest problem i have with is is that my plastic case was all scratched up when it got here. There was no packaging for the device aside from the cardboard box around my whole order and as a result it looks like someone took sandpaper to what would otherwise be a nice, clear plastic holding case. I am sure I can fix it but was not please because of that. Works as expected, so we'll see how long the life is on it as others were complaining about. It seems to be built well and first few attempts to use it went pretty good.
