the 2 bottles that I opened has cracked the bottles where I am assuming that I put the 1st lever into the bottle and then pull? What am I doing wrong?

HI Santoyo ! The person who responded first, already said basically what I was about to recommend ! Even suggesting the video ! No point in repeating !! The only thing I can imagine that might lead you to damage the bottle and not just the cork, as the cork issue happens to me, is that the cork is of a very hard type and is very stuck in there, as it HAS happened to me, but not to the point of damage !! ........... CHERERS my friend and mull this over a nice Cab !!

Type "waiter's cork screw video" in Google and you will get several videos on how to use the tool correctly. After hundreds (maybe more...) of uses I have never broken a bottle... A few corks but never cracked a bottle. Good luck.

I had the exact same problem! I finally just pulled the handle straight out with pretty strong force and it came out. Good luck.

Are you sure the gear is not broken. Check if you can move the lever backwards and forwards. If you can the try tightening the screw in its housing. If it does not work seek advice from the manufacturer.

Hi, try resting the stopper on the top of the bottle and then positioning the wire hinge on either side of the stopper. One side will look 'right' (the hinge loop will push down against the bottle to lock once the hinge is set, so only one side will work for that - check the picture, it shows what that looks like so its clearer which side is right when you're setting it up) the oposing pincher prongs go in the indents on the bottle :) i know, you knew that...

Stand on the material (strands) then pull the handle up until it releases. I have already broken one because I did not do it correctly. Good luck!

This is what I did. I poured a small amount of oil into the top area where the stopper feeds into the bottle. I slowly tried to move the stopper so the oil could get in between the glass. Eventually the oil will loosen the stopper. About once a week I try to make sure that this area is oiled up so that it doesn't happen again.

I had the same problem..it took a while to figure it out. Put your palms around the wide part of the bottle with your thumbs up against the metal on the opposite side from the 1/2 circle of metal. Push your thumbs toward the half circle...it will pop open.

Dorothy, I had the same problem. Hold the bottom (bigger part) with your left hand and twist the part just above it with your right hand. Failing this, go to YouTube and see how is done there. This is how I managed to open mine. I hope this helps.

I had one that came and then the pump was broken. I just opened it and used without the pump. Every other bottle has been fine

No problem here...maybe there was a "spill" in your bottle and one came open???

I'm guessing you might not be turning the cap hard enough to break the seal. I have trouble opening bottles with caps like this, and I use a piece of rubber non-slip shelf liner to get a good grip on the cap to be able to turn it hard enough to break the seal.

Try wetting it with warm water and sliding it onto the bottle, I had to do this, and I left it on to stretch it out, it wasn't easy, but it did finally work! Good luck!

I suspect the screws are too tight. You may want to spray some WD-40 and try and loosen the internal brass fittings. Be careful, the black levers will snap off.

I had this happen recently. I carefully used the corkscrew on a Swiss Army Knife and rotated it gently until it gripped the broken tip. Then I pushed the release button down hard and the broken tip slid right out. Go slowly.

Just got the bottle and have tried for 15 minutes to get it open and can't. I have ordered this before and had no problem opening it. Is it possible the pump is defective?

I'm not sure I will be of any help because u don't have a hard time opening this particular bottle. It's actually one of the easiest ones I have opened. I recommend maybe purchasing a different bottle at Walmart that is easy for you to open and put the vitamins in there and just toss the current bottle you have.
