I have one called "Chefmate". I think it's from BB&B. It's still attached to the cardboard backing (nobody has brought me a bottle of wine lately.)

Honestly, I have used and also been given special, "easy" and sommelier-approved corkscrews through the years and I personally still prefer these for simplicity and ease of use. They never have issues or a learning curve ;-)

Screwpull, Rabbit, Houdini all make good ones.

You can find the automatic ones (place it on top of the unfoiled bottle, press a button, the cork is out) at Marshall's.

Screwpull is a wing type corkscrew made/owned by the Le Creuset company.

Rabbit and Houdini are similar level type devices. You can find them at wine warehouses or Target. They also come with foil cutters.

DH bought me one for Christmas that is vertical. Place it over the bottle and turn. It cuts the foil and the cork screw comes down and by continuing to turn the handle, the screw goes into the cork and comes up with cork attached.

The problem is, it doesn't fit a woman's hand, or at least this woman's hand! I use my silver one with wings that's everywhere!

(I also went through a size issue with electric knives. A lot of the handles are too big! ( I carve).)
