We've been enjoying a lot of champagne, and my husband kept an ugly toolbox pliers handy to struggle with opening the cork. Now he marvels every time he opens a bottle with these champagne pliers. Better yet, when I gave a lab party, I took the Metrokane Velvet Champagne Pliers in, having never used them. Before a large group I easily opened the cork perfectly. This opener made me look like I knew what I was doing.

I was thrilled to find these pliers. I had been using an old giant pair of regular pliers which were laughable to look at but I knew they worked. I've opened several bottles with Metrokane pliers and they work almost exactly like the work tool. I say almost because when the cork is almost ready to pop you need to watch it closely and go slow. If you do that the cork will slide right out. Everyone who has seen them, if they are a champagne fan, wants them. They are a little spendy but are heavyweight and should last a lifetime.

This is a fabulous item for those who enjoy a little "bubbly". The pliers are comfortable in the hand and very solid. Functional as well as attractive. They will help with even the most stubborn cork, with minimal effort. Cheers!!!!
