Fantes Garlic Slicer Grater, Stainless Steel, 8.75 x 2.25-Inches, The Italian Market Original Since 1906

Had one before, lent it out never got it back. Was a must have again. It works better than and handle ones I have ever had.

Works beautifully, makes slicing garlic easy.

Works veryvwell

If you look carefully at the illustration, you'll note that this device can do 3 kinds of slicing to the garlic: a mandolin, a fine grate, and a coarse grate. Unfortunately, I didn't look carefully enough. I was so excited by the ability to coarsely grate (the coarse grating section is last, near where you grasp the grater). I had something identical but much better -- it only had the coarse grater. The problem with having 3 techniques available on 1 small device is that it's very difficult to isolate your motion to just one of the 3 methods. I was about to give up and return it when I realized that if I held it backward, I could effectively isolate the coarse grater (all that I want to use) from the other 2 options by grasping it backward and having my hand cover the annoying mandolin option (doesn't work well) and the equally annoying paste option (also performs poorly). But the coarse grater at the back is good, and is by far the easiest of the 3 options to use because the grating area is relatively large, provided you hold it backward. Sounds weird, I know, but I'm glad I avoided a return with my work-around.

There are multiple shred/slices cutters on this tool. They all work. It shaves fresh garlic like magic. Works on radishes too. Downside, the end piece falls off the legs, and the insert for the bowl falls out in the drawer. Other than that, I've already bought a few more for gifts. Nice gadget.
