Don't have any problems opening wine bottles with the corkscrew of my explorer, just screw it in as deep as possible put the bottle between my legs and pull.
I've used it several times on wine bottles. Other than the 2 lever style cork puller, it's my preferred corkscrew (I've broken off part of the lip of the bottle with the leverage style ones).That said, if given a choice, I get SAKs with a hook rather than the corkscrew, if I have to choose.
Aside from holding the mini screwdriver the only use my corkscrews get these days is pulling up fitted carpets, which they're very good at .Neil
I would LOVE to somehow retrofit the corkscrew (with the cute nested screwdriver) to a real multitool. (heh, "swisstool" )-steve

Same here. I have used it many times on many different bottles and it has never been a problem and trust me, I AM weak.
