I have the Campagnolo Big Lusso Corkscrew (Bronze color). It has stayed in the wooden box that it came in except for maybe 2-3 times in the past 8 years. Probably the last Campagnolo tool I ever bought. Luckly being a dealer I didn't pay even close to $250 - but it wasn't cheap. It works great and so does some corkscrews that cost 1/10th of the cost of the Lusso Big Corkscrew. I do not have a machine shop with all the really nice manly tools but I do have a nice selection of bicycle related tools and toys. I drooled over Campagnolo "anything" since the early 70's - bought some parts and components and still drool over Campagnolo. But now I know there are other components and tools that are good and in a few cases better than Campagnolo.
