How will I know when I need a new spiral for my Rabbit (or Houdini) Corkscrew, and how can I get a new one?
Care and use of the Metrokane replaceable spiral (worm):
The Metrokane spiral is made of high tensile strength steel with a dense non-stick coating and mini- bearings in the head. It is designed to perform 800-1,000 cork removals, but extreme wear or mis-use can shorten its working life.
The most common abuse of the spiral results when the cork is pulled without removing the foil cap. This scrapes the coating on the spiral and shortens its life. Always remove the foil cap before pulling a cork.
Wax seals on wine bottles will also damage the spiral if not disposed of before opening the wine. You can remove wax from the spiral by placing it in boiling water for a few minutes. After that be sure to take off wax seals before opening the wine.
To keep the spiral in good condition, clean it occasionally with a damp cloth or sponge. Be sure to wipe away pieces of cork that may cling to the spiral.
