2-for-Tuesday: SKIL iXO Vivo Power Screwdrivers with Wine Opener Attachment
- Two wireless power screwdrivers with wine-opener attachments. What a world, folks…
- Lithium-ion power battery holds charge up to 18 months, but if you go that long between drinking wine or screwdrivering, maybe you shouldn’t buy it
- Includes an LED work light and drilling direction indicator but you’re still thinking about how these are screwdrivers that opens wine
- Model: 2354-10 (Mad props to any company willing to keep their model numbers numeric. It’s like shooting a movie in black and white)
Drink Wine And Screw
Power screwdrivers solve problems: Assembling Ikea furniture, disassembling Ikea furniture, etc. If you or a potential Father’s Day recipient you know don’t have a power screwdriver, you should consider this SKIL.
It also comes with an attachment that solves a problem that nobody really has: Opening wine bottles. Sure it can be sorta tough to use a regular corkscrew if you don’t do it often, but it’s not exactly arthroscopic surgery.
Though maybe the point isn’t to solve a problem, but to add panache. Anybody can open a bottle of wine, but not everyone can do it with style. You can open bottles by sabering:
But only sparkling wine. Plus, do you really want to emulate that dude’s style?
You could use the "The Coolest Way To Open A Bottle Of Wine” according to Business Insider, that gatekeeper of coolness:
But that seems … complicated. And that dude could not be less cool. Sorry, Business Insider.
You could use a shoe:
But that’s so early 2010s, and bang-y.
You could use a key:
But that feels like an emergency maneuver, not a stylistic choice.
You could use a wireless screwdriver:
But that feels so … Oh wait, that’s what we’re selling.
