Best corkscrew?

Do you have a fab corkscrew? And if so, what is it? I need to replace a broken basic screwpull (which I've found are not good with plastic corks). It's for a present, so willing to spend a bit if necessary. Any suggestions welcome, thanks!

Wow, serious gadgets there! Do they grip the top of the bottle well? That's the problem with a screwpull, you need to hold round the bottle top really tightly as you wind the screw to pull the cork out, otherwise it gets dragged down and the plastic splits.

No They grip the top of the bottle.

You sort of clamp the handles round the neck of the bottle. Pull the lever forward, then push back. Cork comes straight out. To remove the cork, grip the cork between the handles then pull the lever backward and forward cork drop out between the handles.

They are really great and easy. May parents have terrible arthiritus, but they love there's as it so easy to use.
