Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

An essential addition to any in-home bar, this handsome wine-opener set features the revolutionary Vertical Lever corkscrew, which applies its patented friction-reducing rotation technology to effortlessly remove corks from bottles of wine. With the simple pull of its oversized lever, the handheld tool can remove synthetic corks just as well as old, dry, or stubborn natural corks. The unit's solid cast-metal construction ensures unrivaled performance, and its screw can be replaced as needed to keep it functioning its best from one party to the next. Furthermore, the corkscrew's distinctive vertical design rests on its own on the counter--without the need for a display stand. In addition to the corkscrew, the set includes a foil cutter, which cleanly strips foil wrappers off bottle necks with swift precision. Both implements gleam with a contemporary finish, and they fit neatly into softly lined indents within the set's accompanying leather gift box. The corkscrew and foil cutter set measures approximately 8-2/7 by 10-1/2 by 3 inches and carries a 10-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Screwpull LM-400, August 17, 2007

The easiest, most efficient and least space consuming corkscrew I have ever used. I have used the Rabbit, the Screwpull Elegance and numerous others and, although they are good, none compares to the LM-400.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best corkscrew ever!, August 9, 2008

The LM-400 is the best corkscrew I've ever owned, and I've owned a number of other Screwpulls, Rabbits, and traditional corkscrews. It's superbly smooth and very effective - a 270 degree flip of the lever drives the screw, back the other way removes the cork, repeat to remove the cork from the screw. It's quite heavy, and feels great in your hand and on the bottle. My wife and I have a disagreement as to whether it's worth $150, but I'm certainly convinced!

So why did I give it only four stars?

There's a problem - if someone leaves a cork on the screw (doesn't do the second lever flip) the cork is up inside the body of the corkscrew and you can't see it. If someone else comes along, doesn't realize there's a cork on the screw, and tries to open another bottle, he or she can bend or damage two small pins on the upper end of the screw. Do this a few times and the corkscrew won't work without a new screw.

Simple you say - just put in a new screw! After all, it's really easy to do on the other lever Screwpulls. Well, on this one, there's a retaining cap down inside the body that must be removed to get the screw out, and it's requires a lot of fiddling with a long screwdriver to get it back in. And that's after you get a replacement screw! The one listed here (Screwpull part number LM-000) is NOT the right screw, and won't work with the LM-400 (I ordered it - I know). The proper one is Screwpull LM-001, which I could order from only one domestic website, and it took almost a month. Europe seems to be much better supplied with replacement parts, however.

So I love the corkscrew, I've finally replaced my damaged screw and everything is wonderful again. But I'm going to check every time from now on to make sure there's not a cork on the screw up in the body!

1.0 out of 5 stars Expensive corkscrew that doesn't work, September 1, 2008

By 

A. Johnson (Huntington, NY USA) - See all my reviews

I bought the LM-400 because I had used the older LM-200 model for many years and it worked great. The old LM-200 started to malfunction, so I 'treated' myself to this newer and what looked like superior corkscrew.

The good news - it gets corks out of bottles very easily, although the LM-400 is very heavy and bulky to use. The bad news - now you have to get the cork out of the corkscrew, and this is where the trouble begins. Getting the cork out involves pushing the lever back so that the cork is at the bottom of the device and then squeezing the black plastic sleeve while pulling the lever up, thus unwinding the cork from the corkscrew. About 20% of the time you can't squeeze hard enough to keep the cork from slipping up the barrel again. The only way to get the cork unscrewed then is to use your fingers or a pair of pliers to stick up the barrel and manually unscrew the cork. This is an unbelievable pain!!

First I thought this was a defect, so I returned the corkscrew to Le Creuset, who owns Screwpull, and they sent me another one. The replacement was even worse, so I sold the LM-400 on eBay for about $100 less than I paid for it. Replaced it with a Vacu vin Winemaster which works much better.
