Looks nice but I wish I had bought a different one
I bought this based upon the reviews that said it didn't leak. They are wrong. I have used it three times and it leaks when you shake it. If I had bought it at Target, it would be returned. Kohls has one with a gasket. I would buy that one.

Stylish but Lacking in Functionality
I got this thing out of the box and was really impressed with it's looks but the fun stopped there.While I was checking my nice little chrome shaker out I tilted it to the side and the top proceeded to fall off.Worried, I put some ice and a bit of simulated gin (H20) inside, gave it a few shakes and it leaked everywhere.Good thing this wasnt real gin! I dont know if this is just mine but I wasnt impressed with the the functionality.Going with Oneida.

Elegant in its Simplicity
This shaker will bring out the dashing martini or margarita drinker in just about anyone.Looking to impress chicks with your suave mastery of the bar - this will do the trick. Looks great, chills drinks, and of course goes well with cool glassware (invest in Martini glasses or margarita glasses).You don't have to worry about spillage and the built in strainer makes any drink easy. Now if I just had a cool tray to put all of this stuff on. Seriously though, it's a great addition and will make you more likely to tinker with what's in your bar, as opposed to reaching for yet another beer. ... Read more

Hoffritz's gorgeous bar set includes all standard barware: strainer, tongs, mixing spoon, bottle opener, and double jigger. And the stainless-steel stand is the perfect showcase for these nifty little gadgets. Wide, flat handles on the strainer and opener are comfortable, and the round end of the mixing spoon is ideal for a variety of uses. Every piece is dishwasher-safe and will bring a little "rat pack" glamour to your entertaining--even if the drinks are mixed on the kitchen counter. --Jill Lightner ... Read more

Looks and feels cheap
This set of tiny tools is a rip-off. It looks and feels cheap with all the handles made of cheap plastic. You can clearly see the bumps on both sides of the jigger. That shows you the craftsmanship, or lack of it to be correct. I guess the formula now is to give a fancy european name to a lousy product and put it on the Internet with a hefty price. Buyers have no idea of its actual size just by looking at the picture. Also few people want to go through the hassle to return stuff purchased online. Stay away, you have been warned.

Earth-Shatteringly Good!
When I first read reviews of the Hoffritz Six-Piece Stainless-Steel Bar Tool Set in Modern Drunkard Magazine, I wrote them off as market-insider over-hype. I simply could not believe that this bar set could do everything the MDM editors claimed. In fact, I couldn't think of any advantages a professional bar tool set could offer over my trusty old collection of mason jars and Lil' Abner shot glasses.

But boy oh boy, was I in for a surprise when my ex-girlfriend gave me the Hoffritz for our last anniversary (literally, our *last* anniversary). The kit came with a stainless steel shaking apparatus. For shaking cocktails! I'd always thought that was just a turn of phrase (you know, like "on the rocks" doesn't really involve rocks). But now I'm shaking all my vodka and I feel as smooth as James Bond. Not only that, but the whisk-type thing is handy for beating eggs, regardless of whether you like to fry them with bacon or pour them into your beer! Three cheers to Hoffritz, the choice of the discerning conoissiour.

For the part time bartender...
This small gift is perfect for that friend that enjoys hosting the weekend get-togethers.While it doesn't have everything one might ever need to make those specialty drinks, it does offer the basic bar tools in a simple and classy stainless steel finish.I would recommend this gift for all casual occasions or as a nice addition to your own beverage accessory lineup ...

I own dozens of different cocktail shakers, the one from this set has got to be my favorite of all of them. It's clean and elegant two piece design provides a comfortable feel in the hands, good seal, and it seems to sufferless "vacuum lock" then most other shakers of this type seem tohave. ... Read more

Better than "stirring" a martini.
This is not the Martini set for Martini "fanatics" but for someone who wants to whip up a couple and have "correct" glassware its really not bad.

I based my rating of four stars mostly on function and price. The shaker works well enough. It is necessary to get the top correctly fitted on the lower glass. Since this shaker is made of glass there is a rubber gasket at the top that keeps the setup from leaking. This makes the large top (not the cap for the pourer) a bit difficult to remove and replace if your not careful. Once you've done it a few times it becomes much easier.

The glasses are reasonably strong (actually a bit heavy) for stemware. They are very large (will take up shelf space) but a shaker divided four ways is about right (Martinis shouldn't really be "sloshing" in the glass).

This is not the prettiest set under the sun. The glass is okay but certainly not top end. Much more of a casual or outdoor set than something for a high end cocktail party.

Long story short this is a relatively easy to use, low cost, martini set that will let you make better martini's than if you tried to mix them in a typical cocktail glass.

Tip of the day: Vermouth counts nearly as much as the Gin or Vodka ... don't cheap out you'll regret it.

Great starter set for the price!
Compared to all the other martini sets I've seen for around this price, nothing even comes to close to the quality or the amount of items you get.For 4 glasses and a good shaker, I would expect to pay a lot more for these high quality items...especially since most of the shakers I've seen are very flimsy and this one is definitely heavy duty!I have not had the leaking problems or opening problems that some of the other reviewers had.Maybe they don't close the cap tight enough?I also hadn't had any problems with breakage.I've had this set for over a year now and it's been great!I also think size of glasses is perfect and our martinis come out perfect.And the bee-hive design is so hip!

You get what you pay for
My husband and I purchased this around the holidays.It was a great way to have a martini party, relatively inexpensive.However, the shaker leaks and the glasses are very fragile.While washing the dishes, I broke two of the glasses, from the stem.If you are prone to breaking things, either buy a heavy duty set or plastic martini glasses.This may not be the set for you. ...

Ridiculous product
I bought this corkscrew for my mom after I read some reviews of how revolutionary it was. She opened it and loved it right off the bat. Then, after less than a month, it stopped working. What happens is the little cap that covers the top of metal screw itself pops off as soon as you push down on the handle so the corkscrew just pops out of the top instead of going into the cork. It happens with all types of corks and with any pressure. So this ridiculous $50 corkscrew (at the time i bought it) is completely useless! (unless you want to pay an additional $10 for a replacement. Thanks but no thanks!)

Excellent product design
I received the 'Rabbit' wine bottle opener as a gift from my sister. Its the best bottle opener I have ever used! We had tried many different openers but none performed like the 'Rabbit', which is a pleasure to use. I have arthritis in my hands & prior to using the 'Rabbit' opening a bottle of wine had been challenging. I highly recommend this product to all.

Extremely Easy to Use
I got one of these for Christmas and used it for the first time on New Year's Eve. It works exactly as described. I was surprised at how easy it was to use. ... Read more

The sleek cylindrical design of the Manhattan wine cooler from WMF adds a sophisticated touch to any dining room table. Keep a bottle of Pinot Gris or Vouvray in this cooler and the wine will remain chilled at an even temperature throughout a meal. Its brushed steel complements a variety of table settings and even looks at home out on the patio for barbecued pork steaks, mesclun greens, and a nice California Chardonnay. Bring it in the picnic basket when heading out for a romantic picnic for two. --Dana Van Nest ... Read more

Simply devine
At just over $20 bucks this wine cooler is amazing. Good looking, yes, but so easy too! Don't bother doing what we did at first, trying to pre-chill it with ice or keep it in the freezer. Doesn't work, doesn't help. Simply stick your chilled bottle in this cooler and it will keep your wine at an ideal temperature throughout your meal. No ice, no fuss. Perfect.

A nice cooler
We like to entertain and to drink wine, and the one thing we were missing was a wine cooler. This is just the piece we needed. It is very simple, yet classy. A great way to add that special touch for a quite dinner for two or four. Handy enough to be used on a daily basis. ... Read more

Excellent quality value.
This is a handy, sturdy and attractive bottle opener you can use to either flip open pop-top caps or pierce the top of cans. Its hefty body fits comfortably in the hand, making it require less force to operate than the more traditional bottle openers do, keeping you away from cramped hands and other tension related injuries, and rendering it perfect for broth cans, soda bottles, cans of baby formula, etc.
Like the rest of the products from the OXO Good Grips line, this one is a great value of superior quality, unsurpassed durability and flawless performance. Its ergonomic design and big, pressure-absorbing, outstanding non-slip grip, complete with flexible fins to accommodate your fingers and an oversized hole for easy hanging, allow you comfortable, daily, wet or dry use. Its elegant, stylized, standard OXO shape will fit perfectly with the rest of your OXO utensils in the kitchen or in the bar.
Its easy-to-clean, simple construction and dishwasher-safe, hard-wearing materials make this a tool that you will be able to depend on for years, and its stainless-steel metal parts will permanently keep your rust worries away.
After submitting this product to over two years of normal use, mine is still just like new.

Great for the kitchen
I buy the OXO 19pc set and it didn't come with a bottle opener. I got this and it is great for opening cans of broth when your cooking, or cans of formula for a baby.

The handle is large enough this my hand doesn't cramp up when I'm using it and it is very easy to clean, just toss it in the dishwasher.

Don't Waste Your Time Looking For Somehting Else
I debated this purchase because I originally wanted an all metal design. But after purchasing this model, I became convinced that the soft handle is the way to go. The actual metal part is thick and robust, it has not flexed or bent after opening hundreds of adult-beverage bottles. Price is very reasonable. This one piece started me on an OXO kick! ...
