A great gift for a wine lover, this powerful, award-winning tool effortlessly extracts the cork from any wine bottle in 3 seconds with simple lever action. Handles with comfortable rubberized padding easily clamp onto a bottle’s neck; the lever drives the tough worm into the cork with a push and then pulls the cork out cleanly with a simple pull. Releasing the cork involves the same action, only with the handles clamped onto the cork. Ruggedly constructed of polycarbonate and reinforced nylon, the cork puller has the heft of a fine, precise high-tech tool and comes by its name, Rabbit, because it resembles a bunny’s head. Metrokane corkscrews are independently tested for 20,000 cork pulls; tests assume replacement of the spiral after 1,000 pulls. This model of the Rabbit has a velvety, silver finish, as do the four tools accompanying it. The tools include a squeeze-and-twist foil cutter to strip away the foil covering a cork, a drip-stop ring that fits o (more…)

All the pieces are constructed of commercial quality stainless steel with wooden handles, and the six large tools feature textured rubber finger-grips. The set includes four steak-house quality knives that melt through even the thickest steak; precision grip tongs that pick up even a small slice of onion; three-pronged fork; long-handled knife; eight corn holders; basting brush; grill brush; and a 4-in-1 spatula that cuts with a sharp serrated edge, tenderizes meat, drains grease while lifting foods, and opens bottles.

The five tools in this set from Mr. Bar-B-Qs Premium collection are constructed of brightly-polished, commercial-grade stainless steel. Oval-shaped tubular handles attached with heat-resistant material provide a smooth, comfortable grip for the sturdy, yet lightweight tools. The set includes a 4-in-1 spatula, fork, knife, tongs, and basting brush–the essentials for great barbecuing. Providing a good reach on the grill, the tools range in length from 15-1/2 inches (knife) to 18-1/2 inches (spatula). Most versatile is the 4-in-1 spatula, which not only lifts and drains meats, but also cuts with a sharp serrated edge on one side, tenderizes meat with prongs on the other, and opens bottles with its loop end. Extra-large at 8 by 4 inches, the flat surface of the spatula can lift several burgers at once. The toothed tongs taper to a needle-nose point to grab or spear even the smallest piece of food; however, a strong grip is needed to hold these heavy-duty (more…)
