I read a review on Amazon for another brand of cherry pitter where the reviewer said that that one was ok, but the OXO Good Grips was far better for a couple dollars more. That was good enough for me. So as soon as it got here I started pitting cherries and I could have kicked myself for not buying this 3 years ago.
