The package comes with everything you need and even had a charge out of the box. The corkscrew connects to the drill with a standard hex socket. However, my biggest complaint is that the corkscrew has a tendency to slip out. It doesn’t snap in or isn’t magnetic. That would be a great upgrade.<\/p>\n

Once you get it over the bottle. It’s just a matter of hitting the trigger and it drives the cork out of the bottle in one motion. With the cork out, you just reverse the drill to remove it from the corkscrew.<\/p>\n

Overall, I think this is a fun tool both for novelty and practicality. The kit comes with a small set of drill bits which means that it is great in the kitchen for opening bottles as well as repair tasks.<\/p>\n
