Well-made, seems solid and durable. Joints are a little tight at the beginning but I assume they'll loosen up with time. This took a little getting used to for me, but overall it's been functioning well.
This two-step Franmara 5409 Duo-Lever waiter's corkscrew with a black enamel handle is perfect for restaurants, wineries, and catered events. The enamel finished handle gives it a solid feel in the waiter's hand while the ensuring a safe, stable grip. Two "Smart-Kut" foil cutter wheels on the back of the handle effortlessly cuts through foil, while a non-stick open spiral worm is designed to cut into the cork for rapid service of your most popular wines. This corkscrew's stainless steel boot lever opens bottles with ease as the two-step process allows for maximum control. For even more versatility, a built-in bottle cap opener makes it the only piece your staff will need to carry!
A good corkscrew is vital when wine bottles are being opened right at the table, since you want your staff to make it look effortless in front of your dinner guests, making this waiter's corkscrew an ideal addition to your upscale restaurant. To use, start by cutting the foil under the lip of the bottle using the "Smart-Kut" foil cutter wheels on the back of the handle. Then insert the open-spiral worm into the cork and turn to secure the corkscrew. Place the first, smaller boot lever notch on the lip of the bottle, hold it in place, and lever the handle to pull the cork about halfway out of the bottle. Move the second boot lever notch to the lip of the bottle and pull the cork the rest of the way out.

Very high quality waiter’s corkscrew. Only reason for one star off is the foil cutter, it’s two little rolling cutters instead of the more common serrated blade, and we don’t like it as much.

The waiter's corkscrew is perfect for your server and bartender's needs. We have not had any issues with them breaking and they are easy to use.

Has never failed us. Order a few of these and keep them everywhere. They are handy and never cause any cork breakage when used properly.

Good product, does what it is supposed to. The only thing I would appreciate is a way to hang it on a hook so it stops walking away or being placed where ever.

I really like the rotary cutter on the side of this cork screw. That's always the biggest pain for opening wine bottles and this makes it a lot smoother- especially when doing in front of guests.
This Duo Lever´s Corkscrew are excellent. We use them daily at our restaurant and so far no complaints from our employees. Really easy to use and operate wine bottle opener nicely.

It's a corkscrew that works reliably and is comfortable in the hand. Classic, sturdy, nothing dramatic about it - it's a great tool. Highly recommend.

Really easy to use and operate wine bottle opener. I appreciate being able to cut off cork toppers easily, and also appreciate how well this bottle opener holds up to stress over time.

The foil cutter on these aren't awesome. They don't cut smoothly because they are not super sharp. We will stick to the knife style foil cutter from now on.

This is my corkscrew of choice while I’m at work. I have power and control with the two stage cork lift. I can also easily open bottles while the corkscrew is folded. The “pizza style” cutter is different, but effective! It still looks great even after many nights of use. I highly recommend!

we bought a lot of these waiters corkscrews , we had mix review from staff regarding its durability and quality , we still have few on hands but we had few that broke fast

I am not a big fan of the foil cutter on this wine key but decided to purchase for my servers to have the option . They seem to like it

This corkscrew is very difficult for my waitstaff to handle due to the duo-lever design. When you are using it on the tallest setting (when the cork is half way out of the bottle) you need to hold the lever straight with one hand so that it does not keep wanting to bend as it pushes against the bottle lip. Awkward.

The Franmara 5409 Waiter's Corkscrew with Foil Cutter easily removes corks from wine bottles. The dual level lever allows you to get the cork out without a straight pull and the foil cutter makes removing and packaging a breeze. We at Grains and Taps recommend this corkscrew.

You don't have to be a waiter to own one of these! It works very well, and is very simple to use. Definitely worth buying.
Verified Purchase
Not bad to have as a back up but not a big fan of the circular blades for the foil cutter which tends to make a mess of the foil.

My staff is always in need of these. I appreciate the safety cutter vs. the tradition knife on most. They are well built and should hold up. Our hotel guests enjoy borrowing (taking) them for in their rooms (an later their homes lol).

Great waiter"s knife for opening wine. We like the really good quality and also how easy is to use it. Price is really good too.

The double joint opener makes opening a bottle very easy and convenient. However, this is not the best knife I've ever used. It works, but it's difficult to get used to.
Verified Purchase
Came and we are very happy with it. It works great and I would buy another one. But it does take a little while to get use to the cutter
Verified Purchase
Perfect little wine key for any occasion. Easy to use, and easy to remove the cork after opening, and seems very sturdy for the price
Verified Purchase
Nice strong corkscrew bottle opener. We like the foil cutter, no more picking the foil off with the corkscrew. Very affordable and will last a long time.
Verified Purchase
For the price this basic server wine key works great. The corkscrew itself is a little delicate and has tended to loosen slightly. I would still purchase for servers to carry.
Great price, get several, one for each server and a couple to keep near the wine. Our staff requested more of these, they said it was the quickest tool they could open a bottle of wine with, that's all I needed to hear.
Verified Purchase
This corkscrew is a great alternative to purchasing pulltap wine keys. The foil cutter functionality works much better than the traditional knife that's on most wine keys. Also it's sold at an ideal price point on WebstaurantStore.com.

Double stage corkscrews are a waiters essential for any proper tableside wine service. This corkscrew delivers, and allows for removal of the long #9 corks too as well.
