The cork comes off easily and remains intact. It looked good and felt sturdy, but it was tight and took a few more tries to get out of the cork.

The gold corkscrew is nice and this project does its job but I have some small black spots on the handle which is the only complaint, otherwise it is perfect.

When pulling out the cork you have to push the screw part in to use it, it's a bit of a waste of time, I'm a bartender and I need a faster tool.
