●Made in California. Designed, patented and built by the same family since 1961.
●Refills never discontinued. An opener bought twenty years ago still takes the cartridge we sell today.
●Direct from the manufacturer. Not a marketplace reseller, so you get the real thing and our warranty.

The part nobody thinks about until the opener stops working properly.

The needle is what passes through the cork, and after years of use it dulls or bends. A tired needle is usually the reason an opener that worked perfectly for a decade suddenly starts to struggle — most owners assume the tool has worn out and replace the whole thing.

  • Two needles per box
  • Fits the Original and the Cork Pops III only — not the Legacy
  • Made in the USA, under the eye of the inventor’s own family

Check which opener you have before ordering. If yours is a Legacy, this is not the right needle for it.

Ten dollars against replacing an opener, and the reason Cork Pops from the eighties are still in service. If it is gas you are short of rather than a needle, you want refill cartridges.

Customer and creator video — the section that fills itself once the TikTok programme is running.

How it works

Pressure—not brute force.

A needle through the cork, one press, and a puff of inert gas lifts it out whole — the same mechanism the family patented and has been building in California ever since.

Pierce

Use the built-in foil cutter, then guide the needle straight down through the center of the cork.

Press

Press

One press releases the gas beneath the cork.

The pressure lifts the cork cleanly and intact—no twisting, pulling or crumbling.

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.
Est. 1961

A family business that still makes the thing it invented.

It started in a workshop in 1961. Three generations later the family still holds the patent, still runs the line in Novato, California, and still packs the cartridges that go in the box.

That is why the refills never disappear, why an opener bought years ago still takes a standard cartridge, and why the thing feels like it was made by someone who cared.
