Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Junk - worked 5 months - warranty is a scam -$10 S&H!

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 16:06:01 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author Chris_dt21 - We paid $39 to replace a $12 knock-off that lasted 5 years. The Rabbit died after 5 months.The screw now enters and exists the cork very smoothly but doesn't remove it. (Yes, we are gripping the handles tight enough - per the on-line...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Good until it breaks (and it breaks quickly)!

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 20:19:43 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author gb4321 - I bought the first rabbit about 10 years ago; it worked well for about 300 bottles. When it broke, I returned it to Metrokane at my shipping cost and a $10 fee to Metrokane. Be aware, this was on a lifetime warranty at the time of purchase. The company...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author nc_penguin - Until I had a Metrokane Rabbit, I'd been struggling to open bottles of wine. I had a "Waiter's Friend", a cheap corkscrew which required a lot energy to use. Now I have a Rabbit. Cost: This was a Christmas gift a couple of years ago so I don't...

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author need_help_now - We were given what we thought was a lovely gift but on about the second or third bottle opening the casting broke. Our friends got another. It has fallen apart and we don't know how to put it together. Maybe something is missing, like a little pin...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Stops working quickly

Wed, 10 May 2006 14:06:10 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author jm8627030 - I first had a rabbit knock-off, which worked great until it broke after 6 months. I then got a genuine Rabbit, and am very disappointed. The foil cutter is not good, but the main problem is that after a couple of dozen uses, the screw now goes into the...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: The "rabbit" corkscrew

Wed, 7 Dec 2005 23:56:54 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author paulrobins2869 - We love wine and have some every night. We have a collection of around 500 wines, not large, but respectable. For a long time we suffered with all the other types of corkscrews, and finally we broke down and tried "The Rabbit". I have now gone through...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: The Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Yay - No More Cork Floaties In My Wine!

Sun, 12 Dec 2004 13:08:53 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author mrs-j - "Honey, can you come here a minute?" I called to my husband, from my parent's kitchen. It was Thanksgiving and I had gone to open another bottle of wine. When my clan gets together, we consume a great deal of wine. Keeps us from killing each other. My...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Work's Great!!!!!!!

Wed, 17 Nov 2004 14:42:04 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author soberguy - This is the best Corkscrew! As well as a great company standing behind the product. I had only 1 problem & it was my fault. I went through wax coating on corks & it clearly states that this voids the warranty. After having it for 3 years without the...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Incredibly overpriced but great device

Wed, 15 Sep 2004 03:43:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lousygolfer - I don't have a Metrokane Rabbit and doubt I've ever used one imprinted with that brand (possibly at a friend's house, but I doubt it). OK, I know a bunch of you anal-retentive rules gunners are itching and dying to hit that "Off Topic" rating, and then...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Get Rabbit Ears for Great Wine Reception

Tue, 4 May 2004 15:48:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author heckonwheels - This was a Valentine’s Day gift from my wife. I do not know how much she paid for it, but let’s hope it was on sale (I’ll put $50 in the pricing of this review because that seems to be the going price on the shopping sites I used to look it...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Fun, fallible, but good

Tue, 4 May 2004 13:42:47 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author lazybrilliant - These gadgets are great fun. But they don't work well on synthetic corks. And when they do break. Fortunately, the company replaces them if they break. No questions (just a bit of time, and it costs $10 for shipping). This is a good one to buy,...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: Where's the repair kit?

Sun, 2 May 2004 04:16:36 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author publicrecord - It's a clever, handy tool, sure enough. Mine, though, kept falling apart, and after a year or so a couple of small part scattered. I've searched the web and can't find replacement parts (a plastic bushing and a spring). If the thing can't be reliable,...

Mon, 8 Mar 2004 01:40:07 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author reneeck - I saw this amazing corkscrew at a friend's house and after playing with it for a few minutes, decided I could not use it. Another friend picked it up, got the handles around it, the corker up, over, and out and left me in wonder! I came home and...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: The Metrokane Rabbit is the easiest way to pull a cork

Sat, 16 Nov 2002 01:57:59 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author kewaydin - This is a great gift for people who have everything and who like wine.

There are plenty of ways to pull a cork. Any cheapo corkscrew will usually do the trick. But there is something inexplicably satisfying about using the rabbit corkscrew to...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: The Rabbit Didn't Die

Fri, 8 Nov 2002 02:16:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author writer - Yes, it's true, I do love gadgets. I also love gadgets that work. I've been through just about every type of wine opener there is, from the ah-ha cork puller, to the screw pull, to a plain old corkscrew. Sooner or later, they all leave something to be...

Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew: I didn't know opening wine could be so much fun

Mon, 4 Nov 2002 13:22:38 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ktayl_94510 - I thought before I took the $100 plus dollar plunge into the deep end of the wine opening pool (the "Screwpull") I'd start out at the shallow end. I purchased my Rabbit in November of 2001 at Costco for about $43.00 inclusive of tax. I put it to use...
