Mechanics and handypersons will perform at the peak of their element when using Builty NY's Wine Ratchet Magnum to pop open a crisp Reisling during these last days of summer. (They most likely bought some wrenchware!) Gadgety gizmos feel like medieval torture machines while simple corkscrews often leave you with half of a stuck cork or bits in the bottle. If you've got $99.99 to spare, The Ratchet Magnum offers a happy medium, complete with ratcheting steel handle, foil hook, 2 screwbits, and a storage container.

The thing looks awesome, but I can't say I completely understand the utility of it.... Wouldn't it be difficult to screw this into the cork? The closed lever on the one side seems like it would block your arm from twisting the ratchet into the cork.
I read this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/main.jhtml?xml=/earth/2007/08/21/scicork122.xml
Then began looking for alternative corkscrews. I like this ratchet idea and I think I'll get one to see what its like!
