Some comparisons would be good to make on a side by side basis, however I think mine actually got thrown out before I got divorced back in 2012. Glad there are pics on the forum for reference.
The first thing that struck me was it's appearance. I used black ash wood for my
LM in order to mimic the properties of it, however all of my components turned out to be a bit bulky. The current
LM model appears to be a lean, mean stretching machine that means business. It's sleek, it's finished well (I can't believe how smooth the shiny surfaces are), the clamps are just thick enough for good compression on the cock. The cutout in the clamp for the rubber gripping inserts are "just right" for the task at hand. The amount of torque that can be added onto the device by adding the rope under both of your feet is to die for and using the
LM for side stretching by grabbing the ring and pulling your cock in the other direction gives so much force available to the user.
My only criticism that is a minor point would be in the finish. Due to the nature of the material, I see that the edges are somewhat porous. I used shellac on my wooden one and it helped the cock to move freer and more easily while in the act. The thought of using a clear coat spray crossed my mind in order to alleviate this, however I'll give it some time and won't jump to any modifications.
