Troubleshooting
Cork crumbles during removal
Ensure the worm (spiral) is fully inserted into the cork and use a steady, even pulling motion. For very old or brittle corks, consider using a two-step corkscrew or warming the neck of the bottle slightly.
Corkscrew feels stiff
Wipe down the worm with a slightly damp cloth and ensure it is completely dry. For persistent stiffness, a small drop of food-grade lubricant may be applied to the pivot point (if applicable).
Handle feels slippery
Ensure your hands are dry before use. The ribbed bands are designed for grip, but excessive moisture can reduce effectiveness. Wipe the handle dry if it becomes damp.
