Steel Corkscrew ORION model 140879 — manual bottle opener, metal construction

ORION steel corkscrew model 140879 is a manual bottle opener with a metal construction designed for removing corks from wine and other cork-sealed bottles. The compact tool combines a simple mechanical design with durable materials to provide reliable twisting and extraction action. Intended for routine uncorking tasks, this steel corkscrew suits home kitchens, bars and restaurants where a straightforward, hard-wearing opener is required.

Advantages

The solid metal construction ensures long service life and resistance to bending or breaking during typical use. Its compact size and straightforward mechanism make it easy to operate and store, while the metal helix (worm) provides effective penetration into corks for steady extraction. The manual design requires no power source and is compatible with a range of standard wine and spirit bottles, offering a practical, low-maintenance solution for everyday uncorking.

Suitable for

• Removing natural and agglomerated corks from wine bottles
• Use in home kitchens and dining areas for everyday bottle opening
• Light to moderate use in bars, cafés and restaurants
• Portable use for picnics, outdoor dining and events

Key specifications

• Material: metal construction for body and helix
• Type: manual corkscrew (non-electric)
• Compatibility: standard wine and cork-sealed bottles
• Design: compact and handheld for easy storage and operation

How to use

Center the corkscrew helix over the cork and turn the handle clockwise to drive the worm into the cork until secure purchase is achieved. Use steady upward force while continuing to twist to extract the cork from the bottle neck. If necessary, re-seat the helix slightly and repeat the action to maintain grip. After removal, clean the metal parts with a damp cloth and allow to dry before storage.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the cork is free of loose debris before insertion and avoid excessive lateral force that can cause cork fragmentation. Store the corkscrew in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect the helix periodically for deformation or wear.
