I have a Houdini corkscrew which I found to be of the highest quality. I got this one and it's cheap poor PLASTIC! I thought this was going to break the first time i tried it. This not the usual quality I expect from Houdini.I do believe Houdini makes quality products, but just make sure you're ordering a metal cordscrew, not cheap plastic like this one.Thankfully Amazon's return policy will allow me to send this back.
