Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Metrokane Rabbit Wine Opener Tool Kit, Silver
Customer Review: Buy a rabbit type opener, but not this one
Summary: 3 Stars
I have two rabbit type openers and my parents have one as well. I also have the Oster electric wine opener. The Oster is easy/nice but the grinding electric sound doesn't exactly project elegance when that is the need, you know what I mean.
First, I feel I paid $20 more to have a wax remover (only wax remover I need is for my ears) and the dorky drip stopper/bib for wine bottles. Everybody I know knows enough to slow at the end of the pour and do a 1/4 spin on the bottle to prevent drips. The other items...come standard on all others, the foil cutter and extra screw.
The 2nd thing is the handles are PAINTED PLASTIC. Horrible material to make a lever out of (you squeeze the handles to keep the bottle in place). Granted you can open the bottle without breaking the handles but I have to be concious about not applying too much pressure. I could easily snap the handles if I wanted to in a second. As it is now, I can feel the handles bend. The other two rabbit openers have metal handles and feel extremely solid and both cost less than $20. My gf did state that she likes this one better though because it's lighter than the other two but I look at it from an engineering/design/quality standpoint.
The Pinzon Matte Chrome plated opener is the one to get, unless you want a $20 wax remover...
Customer Review: Rabbit
Summary: 5 Stars
This item supplies all the wine accessories you need. I always had to strugle with a plain cork screw that now it's so easy and neat. Never having to use a knife to remove the cork wraping, were I would always cut myself, and having the utensile that makes removale simple.

Summary: 4 Stars
This tool is flawless in opening a bottle of wine. Removing the cork from the corkscrew is another matter - I find that the grip on the tool is not tight enough to hold the cork while you try to pull the corkscrew out of it. If they can fix that problem, this would be a perfect tool for anyone who enjoys drinking wine. The other tools that come in the kit functioned without issue. Overall quite pleased.Customer Review: Excellent wine opener

This wine opener not only looks good but it very easy to use. I received mine as a gift and now I buy it for others. I love it.Customer Review: awesome rabbit
Summary: 5 Stars
This well-engineered corkscrew is just great! If you drink even a few bottles of wine per month it's definitely worth the investment. The rabbit operates smoothly and simplifies bottle opening with a fun twist.
