New corker

[Garagista]

I was gifted a corker as part of a swap, which is great. There is not a label on it but It is much heftier than my current corker. I’m tempted to clean it up and sell my old one. You can see the difference in the traditional corker and my new one.
Does anyone have any knowledge of this corker and whether it is any good?

The lever arm is longer for the one on the left. Should require less arm strength to insert a cork.

Just to clarify - the one on the left is the one you acquired as part of a swap? The one on the left is a Ferrari/Italian floor corker. I have one and it has served me well so far. The only problem I encountered was trying to use it for crown capping (sparkling wine). You can get a crown cap accessory which attaches via a couple of lugs on either side of the cork compression jaws, but it never worked that well and eventually the lugs broke off. However it's still fine for inserting corks and I would recommend it.

Wonderful, thanks. I should have been more clear, the new one is left. It needs some love to bring it back to its former glory but sounds like it will be worth it.
