Just curious

I think what you describe is an Ah-So. It works like so (hah) according to Andrea Immmer: you slide the prongs between the cork and the bottle until the prongs are fully inserted and then gentlly turn and lift the cork out of the bottle. The Rabbit is a brand name of a lever pull. I've used one like that before. You grasp and hold the neck of the bottle with the vise-like handles with one hand and move the lever (ear) in a position away from you and perpendicular to the bottle. Pull the lever back to insert the auger fully into the cork and then pull up gently but firmly. Voila. This is fast but this type shouldn't be used on synthetic corks according to the box of the one I have used. Make sure the bottle is upright on a firm surface and cut the foil first.
