Cork presses have long been used as a laboratory tool to reduce cork stoppers for fitting lab equipment. The cork press is indispensable to wine makers, old bottle collectors, craft makers and cooks. We have even sold these to carpenters and woodworkers to ease tapering, fitting and insertion situations. The press is mounted on a fiberboard base with non-marring rubber feet. The approximate dimensions are as follows: W=2.75" L=13" H=6" For the person that has every tool, this is a great addition. It makes a unique gift or an attractive piece to put in your kitchen or wine cellar. We include ten corks to play with!! This Cork Press is for reducing the size of the cork to fit the selected container. IT CANNOT BE USED TO INSERT THE CORK INTO THE CONTAINER. Larger dimension corks may take more than one compression to achieve the size you want.
