I found that with the dble lever corker i needed to quickly dip the corks in a sanitizing solution. I now have the Port. floor corker and its the best money I ever spent. I didnt need 2 people to use it but it is more work than it needs to be and always leaves a dimple in the cork and doesnt always seat the at the right depth. I used mine for a year before I bought the floor corker. If you have the money, get the floor corker, the Italian is the best but the Port does a great job.
