Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of True Fabrications Rocket Air Pump Wine Opener
Customer Review: needle-pump cork puller
Summary: 4 Stars
I was carefull not to call this Rocket Air Pump wine opener a "corkscrew," since it uses a needle to penetrate the cork and not a spiral screw.
This type of device has been around for many years, and I have used similar products before. The previous other brands of similar needle design all broke fairly quickly. As I have only used this Rocket model a few months, I cannot yet comment as to durability.
The product liability lawyers have "improved" the design as now the sharp needle is encased in a retractible hard plastic sleeve which protects the user from injury. The sleeve slides up around the pump handle as the needle penetrates the cork.
The needle penetrates corks fairly easily and just a few pumps up and down with the handle slowly eases the cork out of the bottle. For older wines with more fragile corks it does a much better job of removing the cork without either breaking it leaving pieces in the bottle than a conventional corkscrew.
There is a significant buildup of pressure in using the pump and one must be careful not to have the cork "pop" to vigorously.
The Rocket needle pump is definitely easier and more fun to use than a corkscrew. I would be careful keeping it away from children. The safety shield is probably a good thing, but children are very clever when it comes to possible misuse of sharp objects.
