Soft Touch Waiter's Corkscrew, $7

High Notes: The ultracompact waiter's-style opener that the pros use is great for picnics. This version is a little larger than the norm, but the handle has a rubbery coating that makes it easier to grip.
Biceps Factor: All waiter's-style openers require some muscle, skill, and practice. Instead of pulling out a cork, you might end up pulling out a shoulder.
