Vacu Vin Twister Corkscrew, $15

High Notes: The Vacu Vin features an unfussy, lightweight design and a sturdy nonstick needle that's molded into (rather than simply attached to) the handle. The cork comes out easily and cleanly.
Biceps Factor: The mechanism may require some stabilizing while you're turning the handle, but the cork twists out easily on its own.
