Parrot

The spiral pulls cleanly through even a stubborn cork in one smooth motion, and the lever feels solid without any wobble. It's small enough to slip into a jacket pocket, which is exactly what I needed for tasting events. Honestly, it's become my go-to over the heavier waiter's friend I used to carry

The pocket clip is surprisingly handy for a corkscrew this compact, and the polished finish feels like a proper tool, not a gimmick. Opened three bottles at a dinner party without a single struggle with the foil or the worm. Exactly what I wanted for my travel bar kit.

The foil cutter and the little groove for bottle caps make this feel like a proper tool, not a gimmick. I've used it at two dinner parties already and the double-hinged action pops corks out cleanly every time.
