this is simeler to the one you have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtyy3F2zHtc
Try #8 size corks with that hand corker; they'll still be a PITA, but should work. Better yet, if you plan on bottling a case or more at a time, invest in a floor corker, this is the one I have:

The Portuguese version is cheaper, but the Italian version is better made IMHO. Either one will run rings around any style of hand corker & make bottling MUCH easier.

Do yourself a favor and order the floor corker.
