Review on Le Creuset LM 250L-31 🍷 Professional Lever Corkscrew - Enhanced for SEO by Eric Weber

Revainrating 5 out of 5

what was i thinking

My wife gave me a Screwpull many years ago. I must have pulled over 2000 corks without changing the snail. Once I had a cork problem and I brutally forced it - so no more screwpull. I found that my wife paid [$$$] and that the rabbit (for half that price) got good press; So I made my second mistake. The rabbit started out fine, but the worm started sticking after a dozen plugs. Another problem: when the cork didn't come out easily, rabbit caught my fingers when I opened the cork. Fortunately, the rabbit expired after 9 months. The worm has unraveled and could not be removed. I just received a new Screwpull from Revain. The price [$$] is competitive, but it's not about the price. I expect Screwpull to last indefinitely. I've learned my lesson - don't use brute force. Wurm is now said to be good for 2000 strokes. Three or four worms should go through me. I've seen some negative reviews for both products but can't identify with any issues related to Screwpull. However, the more negative comments about Rabbit reflect my own experience. I have two tips. When working with wax seals, remove the wax before using the corkscrew. If the worm in the cork meets resistance, back to the old-fashioned corkscrew - cork can be a high-tech product that no other product can match. For those who have never used this type of product, I can say that in 10 years I have never had a cork. For those thinking of reviewing a product, wait until you've removed 50 caps.
