Corkscrews are an essential piece of bar ware, and the Collet Corkscrew adds some class to that typically utilitarian tool. The business end of the elegant corkscrew and bottle opener is concealed inside an attractive brass sheath, making the product a tool worth putting on display rather than stowing away in a kitchen cabinet.
The corkscrew itself slides into the Collet Corkscrew's slender body, closing and opening with a satisfying metallic snap. To use the corkscrew, one simply slides the ring on the end of the screw over the brass sheath, making a t-shape that provides the necessary leverage. The end of the sheath also comes with a bottle opener, making the Collet Corkscrew the only bar tool that one needs to keep.
