MIU France Stainless Steel Cherry Stoner, Silver

I bought this to keep with my car key fob for when my Rheumatoid Arthritis is so bad I don't have the finger strength to deoress the key fob buttons (and have to ask strangers to deoress the key fob buttons to unlock my car). It works so well to hold the key fob in one hand and depress the button with the cherry pitter!! The spring/tension required to squeeze the pitter is perfect..it doesn't require a lot of pressure and it returns to the open position easily. The metal is durable and strong. Not sure about cherries, but this is a solidly and simply made tool that will last a lot time. I'm so grateful to have found it as a tool to use.

I love fresh cherry's in season, but don't eat them that often because I find it annoying spitting the pits out into my hand or a bowl. This devise came to the rescue, now I have them all pitted and ready to eat without the hastle. What can I say this devise works well, it pits cherry's. Cherries are a seasonal thing, and I saw no reason to spend more money for something that is not used that often and takes up a lot of room in my drawer. Besides this one works just fine. This devise is all stainless steel and easy to clean. I guess this would pit olives also. I haven't tried that yet, but I am going to give it a try since I do enjoy olives on occasion.

After using the pitter a handful of times the "bowl" that you put the cherry in completely fell off the handle.

I bought this so I could pit several pounds of cherries to make and can cherry pie filling. This is my first cherry pitter, so I can't compare products, but it worked well enough. My hands were purple by the time I was done, but I was able to get the pits out relatively easily and it saved TONS of time compared to having to pit them by hand. I did use both hands when pushing the pits out (made it go faster) and I had to be a little careful or I was likely to give myself a blood-blister from pinching my fingers in between the metal. I would definitely buy again.

I bought this because my 5 year old loves fresh cherries. It works well for the most part, and is simple enough for my 5YO to use it. Makes a mess, though, I was cleaning cherry juice of the walls and floors after using it. As well, I have pinched myself several times using it, so I watch my kids carefully when they use it. Occasionally you have a cherry that is very difficult to center properly, and we end up mangling the cherry getting the pit out. All in all, for the price, it does a fair job.

This is a quality item, and for a smaller cost than most. I recommend this to out for cherries or other stone fruits. I have pinched myself on it by getting my fingers too close to the action, but you just have to be cautious and smart, lol.

Doesn't remove the olive pit.......device just crushed the olives

After 30 cups of cherries husband and I got the hang if it. It takes time to get use to using this. Might sound funny but with a smaller cherry it's takes time. Line cherry with the whole and sometimes still have to fish out seed. Tested with bing cherries from store. A bigger cherry works perfect.
