2-for-Tuesday: SKIL iXO Vivo Power Screwdrivers with Wine Opener Attachment
Our Take
- 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 Fathers Day recipient you know dont 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 dont do it often, but its not exactly arthroscopic surgery.Though maybe the point isnt 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:https://d2b8wt72ktn9a2.cloudfront.net/mediocre/video/upload/v1736659404/75a13b006bbc78837d707353199bd38c.mp4But only sparkling wine. Plus, do you really want to emulate that dudes style?You could use the "The Coolest Way To Open A Bottle Of Wine according to Business Insider, that gatekeeper of coolness:https://d2b8wt72ktn9a2.cloudfront.net/mediocre/video/upload/v1736659414/53d16b716830daf4a56f89e285a42023.mp4But that seems complicated. And that dude could not be less cool. Sorry, Business Insider.You could use a shoe:https://d2b8wt72ktn9a2.cloudfront.net/mediocre/video/upload/v1736659702/5c8248c153cc76a9abd3b0f64bc44409.mp4But thats so early 2010s, and bang-y.You could use a key:https://d2b8wt72ktn9a2.cloudfront.net/mediocre/video/upload/v1736659447/d6575a88d05c4bebfa81c958694bcd0d.mp4But that feels like an emergency maneuver, not a stylistic choice.You could use a wireless screwdriver:https://d2b8wt72ktn9a2.cloudfront.net/mediocre/video/upload/v1736659456/8e9540ca6433a5041073915694d087c9.mp4But that feels so Oh wait, thats what were selling.
