Thinking about a new wine opener / corkscrew

We have 6 wine opener/corkscrews in our house, but I don't like any of them.  What kind of device do you guys use to open your wine at home? |

especially for someone like me that I break 1 out of any 4 corks I'm trying to unscrew.

We have one like this: http://www.amazon.com/MIU...ie=UTF8&s=home-gardenWorks like magic on real corks. Works okay on the synthetic corks a lot of labels are going with these days, but not quite as well. |

LMAO at Cameo. That video with the red codpiece is etched into my mind forever.  Good suggestions. I like that style a lot. My neighbor has one of those type and it looks so smooth and error-proof. |

Bought loads over the years, they always seem to go AWOL.
Now it's usually one of the free ones the liquor stores give out when you buy there.
