Abstract: An anti-slip wrench includes a handle having two opposite grip surfaces, and at least one slant slot formed on at least one of the grip surfaces of the handle. The slant slot is through the grip surface from one lateral surface of the handle to the other. The slant slot is a concave surface with two side edges, which meet the grip surface respectively. The slant slot is positioned at an included angle located between a slot axis of the slant slot and a longitudinal axis of the handle. The concave surface of the slant slot accommodates a thumb of a user when gripping the handle. The slant slot on the handle is provided to prevent the thumb from sliding longitudinally and transversely when gripping the handle.

Abstract: A cork remover for removing corks from bottles, particularly bottles having substantial internal gas pressure, such as champagne bottles, includes a tapered, generally tubular part, which is placed over the shoulder of the bottle. A hollow, threaded, tubular member is secured to the tapered part and is threaded to a tubular sleeve which has ports on opposite sides of its sidewall. Sharpened pins are movable through the ports to puncture and hold the cork. In one embodiment, the pins are threaded to the sleeve and are turned into the cork by means of handles secured to the pins. In another embodiment, the pins are replaced with C-shaped members having abrasive surfaces which are pressed into the sides of the cork, enabling it to be turned by use of the handles. Further embodiments utilize an L-shaped handle pivotally secured to the sleeve to force one or both pins into the corks. The handle can then be turned to break the cork loose and enable it to be removed.
