Review by Michael Smith (Veshengro)
The Big Screw is another product of range of gadgets by Touch of Ginger, based in Cambridge in the United Kingdom.
Touch of Ginger are, I should think, generally known for their “Urban+” range of “survival kits” and also, probably, for the stainless steel inserts for Filofax and other similar binders, and such gadgets. To this range now has been added the “Big Screw”.
The “Big Screw” is the worlds smallest combination cork screw and bottle opener...probably! Well one can only assume that Q would approve. The Big Screw pulls corks and flips bottle caps whilst being cunningly disguised as a large socket screw. Each one is machined from a solid aluminium bar and fitted with a keyring attachment.
While the material is aluminium it would appear to be, in my opinion, so-called aircraft grade aluminium, making the Big Screw both light and strong, and making it therefore ideal for daily carry as a key fob. This means that you will always be the one who has the means to open, basically, any bottle.
This is definitely a little gadget that will be a must have for urban street chic. Also, you never know when you may be called upon to open a bottle of wine or such.
Definitely a must have for all gadget boys and girls.
The material, as already mentioned is aluminium. It is customisable, making it therefore an ideal candidate as a corporate incentive/business gift. The packaging is a foil bag and the recommended retail price is £9.95. For trade price contact Touch of Ginger.
I must say that I love it but then I am a little bit of a gadget man, even though I am no longer, officially, of the age where one carries such stuff about with one, but so what...
