I just tossed the useless piece of crap known as the electric corkscrew by
Oster. Anything out of the ordinary like cork fragments were extremely hard
to retrieve. The corkscrew then became close to unusable as more than half
the bottles I tried to open with it did not even start. It also has the
same problem as other corkscrews I have used in that it is designed for
California bottles while most of my bottles are French with corks that are
a little bit longer so the corkscrew thought it was done while there was
still about 1/4" of cork still in the bottle. I now use a different
corkscrew.
