I recently got a Climber and I am really enjoying it . I love the corkscrew but really haven't found a real need for it yet, I know I will find uses as I keep carrying it but it got me thinking how often do you use the corkscrew? Once a week, Once a month, Once every 3 months, etc...
No use for a cork screw. I carry a Tinker - Phillips is a must have for me.Rich
I drink cider (bottle caps/cans) and STWBO prefers fizzy stuff; Prosecco (she is Italian) or Shampoo So, to answer your question, hardly ever and not for undoing knots either #guibur
I should really get a French Army knife, with all those corkscrews I'll be able to carry the 4 new colored mini tools with the different bits! Problem solved
Corkscrew, most worthless tool for non wine drinkers.
Her husband came over and told me he too had a SAK at home, and that it was "better" than my Tourist. I guess he meant it had more tools, which as we know doesn't necessarily make a knife "better"!)
I use the corkscrew to hold the mini SD. Neither see much use, but I prefer to have them than not as I find them more useful than the back Phillips. For instance, the corkscrew has opened cupboard doors without handles, just the holes. And of course it's great for loosening knots and cleaning under fingernails. And the other day I couldn't have helped the nice woman whose lens fell out of her glasses when the screw that held it in had got loose and dropped out. (Amazingly, she found the screw! A tiny, tiny thing that needed tweezers to reinsert into its place. Her husband came over and told me he too had a SAK at home, and that it was "better" than my Tourist. I guess he meant it had more tools, which as we know doesn't necessarily make a knife "better"!)
The corkscrew is a dedicated tool that usually comes useful when you least expect it, as when people go to a party or to a picnic and suddenly realise that they do not have a corkscrew to open ta bottle of wine they brought or were given. I always find threads like this interesting, where you see a divide between regions, some having no use or need for the corkscrew and some wondering why the question is even being asked for such a tool used daily.Not all wine containers will have screw-tops or pull rings or be made of carton everywhere.Same with bottle openers/cap lifters where many claim to have never needed one.Finlay, the corkscrew is also a holder for the mini driver
Well done. In my view, any SAK in the hand/pocket when you need it is "better" than whatever might be at home!
