How well do the cork grips hold up?

I have had mine for a year and so far so good. I am not a long distance hiker (20+ miles) but in the short hikes I have had no degrading of the grips.

They held up fine for me. I don't use my poles for long hiking trips but for a few hrs most days. I don't usually go in the rain. I have been happy with them, but they don't hold their length in the snow, if that makes sense. (You twist and tighten in 2 places for the height you want.) It just doesn't hold in the winter. But that's fine. I just use reg. ski poles. Again over all, the poles work well and held up for my purposes. (baskets both came off in the leaves somewhere..) Hope that helps,

I love the cork grips. One pair I used for several years now and other than some discoloration from the sweat of my palms, they are in great condition.

I purchased 2 of these tables a couple of years ago. I wouldn't say they were excellent quality but they're nice looking and very functional. They are still in use even after being handled by movers. Assembly was not especially difficult, however I would definitely have an extra set of hands at one point in the instructions when the top needs to be attached to the front, back and side panels.

They are smooth to the touch. The only issue is that after a while, about 6 months, they've started to slide around on the keys.

The durability of these should be good, but it depends on how you use and/or handle them. If you are rough with them by pulling them off your head abruptly, the elasticity could make them lose grip over time. If you are gentle with them, they can last a lifetime. I hope this helps.

I have No problem with any corks. Let me add also that this wine opener looks very nice on my bar while charging. Friends are impressed.

They are a little abrasive to the fingers but not hard to tie. They hold well.

They hold up very well. They will eventually spring a leak, but I have been using a pair for almost five months and they are still leak free. I use them multiple of times a day. They have a very good grip ability. Much better than the ones I've bought at the grocery store. I like them so much that I keep a spare in case a leak develops. Hope this helps.

Marc so far mine are holding up pretty good, I've had the rack for almost a year now and I even left it through the winter. Those rubbers seem to be very sturdy.

I've had these whisks now for about 6+ months and I've never had a problem with them at all. The handles are great and they don't rust if you forget and leave them in water. Definitely worth spending a little extra for these!

These grips worked very good for me, I used liquid soap to put them on, it took about a week to dry and like the feel. Chris

Mine have held up really well. Also, I had lots of extra product left so if you needed to touch up it would be really easy to do.

Yes, They work well as long as there is enough of the screw exposed to grip.

Hi MC Pankey! We improved the strength and durability of the rings last July, so they should hold up much better than our original rings did. If you run into any problems with them, please let us know. Judging by the answers here, it looks like they have a much better reputation than they did in the past :) If there is anything else we can help you with, please feel free to contact us directly via this link:

Unsure mine are still going strong. It's a great hand held tool, not bulky at all. worth the price for the size of the tool in general.

Cork is very secure. I have put water in them. It does slowly evaporate after several months, but no leakage. You could always seal around it with some type of glue/adhesive.

They hold up unless you are filling this with heavy items and pulling it around by the handles. Treat it right, and the handles will last.
