Had to bottle about 25 bottles of Apfelwein tonight thats going various places for Christmas, and I broke my corker. No LHBS here....so what to do?

I just did 20 bottles with #8 standard corks with my hand and my leatherman tool to carefully compress the corks as I worked them in.

Man, I'm buying a bench capper/corker right now.
 
I rarely make wine so that is how I always do it. Waiting for the day a bottle breaks and I cut off 1/2 of my hand.
