 This waiter loves it Jun 09, 2011
By Z. Reyburn
"Rabid Researcher"
Although I miss my Pulltap and it's two-stage goodness, I cannot deny the awesomeness of the Boomerang. I'm a waiter, and cutting the foil with a second-rate blade was always difficult and embarrassing. The built-in foil cutter is so easy to use, and the bottle looks very professional and appealing sitting on the edge of a customer's table.
One thing I should warn of: You will be unable to remove the foil all the way down below the protrusion of the glass lip. While this doesn't affect your ability to remove the cork, wine's flavor changes drastically when it reacts with certain types of metals present in some foil. So, remember to wipe the lip with each pour so that any drops of wine sitting on the foil never make it to the glass.

Great corkscrew pops every time Oct 07, 2009
By E. Motz
This is a great improvement on the traditional cork screw with knife. I love the built in foil cutter that even the 'rabbit' and other fancier handle operated twin turbo cork screws are missing. It is faster and easier to open this way vs having multiple tools. I first saw one of these at a restaurant in France, so that has to make it a better tool. Found 1 in Aix en Provence at a wine store and used it for years until the handle broke (probably user error). Then I wanted another one, and this is made by the same manufacturer.
I would recommend this as a gift for any wine enthusiast as I prefer the simplicity of it vs the 4 handled gigantic robo-openers. Open the foil cutter - spin and pull and then uncork. Safer than using a knife and cutting off a finger. You cannot lose the foil cutter either.
I have 3 of them. Enjoy the wine! :)

The BEST corkscrew ever made. period. May 10, 2011
By visual.noise
this corkscrew is big enough to get you easy leverage when pulling the cork out of your wine bottles. the foilcutter is the best part, its not sharp and wont ever cut you, and cuts the foil perfectly every time. no more sawing away at the foil with cheap foil knives attached to your corkscrew. just open the foil cutter, place it over the bottle, give it a squeeze and twist. a clean perfect cut every single time. highly recommended for bartenders, servers and waitstaff.

 Almost perfect! Dec 28, 2011
By A. Goodman
This corkscrew is fantastic. I have used a waiter's corkscrew for ages, but hate trying to cut wine capsules by blade. The boomerang is large for a waiter's corkscrew - approximately half an inch longer than my old one, and about a centimeter wider. It works very well, but the lack of a double hinge is disappointing. Though outweighed by the brilliant retractable foil cutter, both of these flaws, along with the following point, make the corkscrew rate 4 stars instead of 5. The foil cutter unfortunately does not cut below the lip (see attached picture) but it is still wonderful. It makes a smooth, perfect cut in one easy motion. I would love to see a smaller, double-hinged version of this corkscrew, but until someone makes one I can't see myself using anything other than this.

Top notch Dec 20, 2011
By Denis Altudov
"Denis"
What I like the most about this corkscrew is that it's long enough for any bottle. No more broken corks for me.
