Detailed Description

Powerful crimping jaws similar to a floor corker. Inserts corks cleanly every time. Compresses corks from the sides before inserting instead of top to bottom like most hand or twin lever corkers. Technical features include 4 mobile jaws, nylon-made main body and adjustable plunger. Some of the advantages of using a Gilda corker are, It does not pinch the cork. It does not reduce the length of the cork when corking. It does not modify the alveolar structure of the cork. Directions for use: insert cork, grip both handles at the ends and squeeze, stand the bottle on the floor, steady Gilda corker on bottle and push down insertion handle in a firm, steady motion.

After extensive testing we recommend Nomacorc brand synthetic corks be used with the Gilda hand corker. They worked the best, inserting cleanly and easily. Our test ratings results were:

BEST - Nomacorc synthetic corks: (A complete and clean insertion with the least handle squeeze pressure).
GOOD - Supreme brand synthetics: (Almost a complete insertion. You may have to finish the insert with your thumb. A little more handle squeeze pressure is required compared to the Nomacorcs brand).
WORST - Natural or agglomerated corks: (Nearly impossible to insert properly. Handle squeeze pressure required is extremely high. If you don't have arthritis in your hands when you start corking you will when you're done using natural corks. Natural or agglomerated corks are NOT recommended with the Gilda corker) .

For best results use Nomacorc brand synthetic corks with the Gilda hand corker.
