The double lever corker is a good choice for the winemaker on a budget. Plastic and metal construction. Put the cork in the chamber, rest the corker on the bottle, and push down on both levers works best if you're got a helper to hold the bottle still.
With a little upper body strength, you’ll have no problem using this corker. It feels robust. I’m quite satisfied with it.

Necessary Upgrade
I purchased a small batch wine making kit about a year ago. The cheapo plastic corker worked although I was worried every time the plastic would break or the bottle would break or slide out from under me while I'm jumping up and down on it. Last batch I went to order more corks and ordered a cork that was larger than my plastic corker could handle. I asked if I could do an exchange and they recommended I upgrade to the larger stronger corker which would also give the wine a longer shelf life. So I bought it and glad I did. The corker is super easy to use and strong enough to do a handstand on (don't try it) but you get the point. The only odd thing is the rod that pushes the cork is smaller than the cork and makes an odd indentation. I don't care as it gives the bottles character. I am very glad I upgraded.
