Wine Enthusiast Gift: SKIL iXO Vivo Power Corkscrew Review

The iXO Vivo Power Corkscrew comes with a unique corkscrew attachment making it not only a useful tool but a conversational piece.

r37652v48 The iXO is a full cordless power screwdriver that can be used around the house for repairs and DIY projects. Once the work is done, enjoy a glass of wine by adding the corkscrew attachment.  See photo below to see the positioning of the power screwdriver, corkscrew attachment, and wine bottle – although you certainly won’t open the bottle on its side!

Now, you can easily open any wine bottle without the fear of breaking the cork. The SKIL iXO Vivo Power Corkscrew takes all the guesswork – and hard work – out of the task. You’ll pop the cork out in just seconds.

The SKIL iXO Vivo Power Corkscrew is a handy tool to keep in the kitchen for around the house touch ups, loose screws, and more. I like that it is a small power screwdriver that can be stored and used in the kitchen – not in the garage with all the tools. Keeping it easily within reach makes it convenient for light household tasks, and for quickly and effortlessly opening a new bottle of wine.
