Metrokane Deluxe Rabbit with Foilcutter Review
By design, this is a very good product. But the documentation is pathetic, and was obviously never tested with new / real users. There is no explanation of how it should work. This understanding is very useful with it, you'll never have problems, and to admire the clever design. Begin.
Do you have a bottle of wine at hand, which has already been used in equipment (and very good) just remove the foil capsule size on the cork.
Take theUnits in hand and watch the moving parts. The air lever swings outward / downward and backward / backward in place at the top – moves the spiral corkscrew up and down. To see this, pull the lever over the head with one hand and hold the tension "side handles" with each other. When you turn on the overhead handle the corkscrew.
Why is the corkscrew turning? In fact, he had to do what goes through a "guide" (the metal collar with gray plasticEast). The gray plastic piece has an internal spiral track that forces the corkscrew to rotate as it passes through.
Here the critical point: As long as the guide mechanism is locked and can not move up or down, forcing the leadership to turn the corkscrew when you go through.
And if this guide were in force on the `down-stroke stop, but could move vertically on the` up-stroke? Then force the leadership to make the corkscrew on the way down (so that thecorkscrew would penetrate the cork), but the leader is attacked (and _not_ rotate) the corkscrew on the way up – thus pulling the plug.
If the unit operated correctly this is exactly what happened. But how?
Look more closely: Before you take the Rabbit `part-handles" to the neck of a bottle of wine, the Guide is to place two protruding spring latch is locked and can not move vertically. It Try not moving. (You can actually see these small barsThere at the top of the guide rail and to keep moving – investing in the area above and far behind the leaders, in the vicinity of the smooth rod.)
On the other hand, when the clamping handles are pushed towards the neck of a bottle, these latches above the guide _retract_, releasing their influence on the guide so that it can move upward.
Do it now: Take a bottle of wine and the overhead lever completely outside / bottom position can be rotated, place guidesdirectly over the cork and grasp the bottle with the side handles _firmly_ tension.
Observe the bar above: they have retracted, and does not move back to the top leadership. This has no effect during the down-stroke / cork penetration phase, since the guide is already as low as it can go. Because the guide can not move, it forces the corkscrew to rotate when you operate the overhead lever – thus penetrating the cork. Perform this down-stroke. <br/>
Now look what happens when the handle is pulled upward, to withdraw the cork (while at the same time continue to firmly grasp the bottle neck with the side levers). As the leaders now move vertically with the corkscrew, it imposes no rotation on the corkscrew. The corkscrew in the cork remains as an overhead lever is pulled out / down, and the cap. Do so. Now you have the cork from the bottle, suspended above the neck of the bottle, and are stillGripping the side handles around the neck of the bottle.
Release your hold the side handles and move the rabbits out of the bottle. The cap is still attached to the corkscrew. Re-grip the side handles operable with one hand and once again the top lever, making it back to their fully closed position (as if you Were the original clock down into the cap).
Getting to the end of the line, you will feel resistance and hear a click: theInterlocks are pulled back into position over the top of the guide, locking it in place. The guide is captured again "- and can not move vertically. The cork is still attached to the corkscrew.
Finally, move the lever back to its fully open position (as if pulling the cork from the bottle). This time the latches _don't_ withdraw (because they must be taken in the grip of the neck of the bottle) – so the latches again keep the guide from moving, and these forcesto turn the corkscrew in reverse, going through the guide. The corkscrew backs out of the Cork and cork drops. We want everything for a few seconds after turning out.
This should help to understand the principles of operation. All this is well explained (or explained at all) in the documentation almost nonexistent.

Metrokane Deluxe Rabbit with Foilcutter Specifications
A great gift for wine lovers, this powerful, award-winning tool effortlessly extracts the cork from any wine bottle with simple lever action. Gripping handles clamp on the bottle neck; pushing down the lever drives the tough corkscrew into the cork, and raising the lever pulls the cork out cleanly. Releasing the cork from the screw involves the same action, only with the gripping handles clamped on the cork. For strength and longevity this model is ruggedly constructed of die-cast metal and reinforced nylon, giving it the heft of a fine, precise high-tech tool. The device owes its name to handles and levers resembling rabbit ears, and gear housing shaped like the head of a bunny. Metrokane corkscrews are independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls; tests assume replacement of the spiral after 1,000 pulls. Accompanying the cork puller is a foilcutter that strips away the foil covering a cork. Both the cork puller and foilcutter fit into a handsome storage case with a hinged lid. The cork puller carries a 10-year warranty against failure. –Fred Brack

Customer Reviews
Good product – gc – pa
This is a good product. Do not buy anything that is made of plastic. They are not good. This is all metal. Very good product
Slick to use. – Martin Ullstrup – Milwaukee, WI
I am very pleased with this beginning. It 'the same as the instructions say to use. Well done and a solid instrument.
Clumsy but somewhat effective – Robyn D. Panacek –
The paper cutter is not consistent, which is not surprising, because they are real plastic knives. Half the time the cork extractor takes two or three stops to extract the cork.
