3.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for the pits, August 2, 2006

This pitter looks very much like the pitter that clamps on made by another company. It is faster than doing pitting by hand,but when you are doing one cherry after another it sometimes will punch next to the pit and leave the pit in the cherry.

I pitted a total of about 5 gallons of sour cherries this season. About a gallon by hand and the rest with this pitter.

About 5 pits per slice slipped by the pitter and we had to be careful eating the cherry pie.

Also atleast 2 0r 3 times a pit would get stuck next to the plunger and it would jam.The rubber inserts don't look like they are long lasting.

Sour cherry juice is supposed to help with muscle fatigue after exertion, but I'm not going to go out and get gallons of cherries and pit them with this pitter to make juice.

I hope there are better pitters out there that don't cost an arm and a leg.

The stoner made pitting extremely easy. I did have to make sure the cherries fell down into the pitting section one at a time to prevent them from backing up and not working efficiently. About every third cherry pitted, I needed to swipe out the deposit section to also prevent the cherries from backing up.

I recently bought this cherry pitter and have used it about 5 times to pit about 10 lbs of cherries. It does a decent job. The softer cherries (like the sour/tart cherries) didn't seem to work as well. The pit would be pushed to the outside of the cherry, but still attached. You'd just have to pull it off. For the harder cherries the pitter did a much better job. However, you still had to make sure the pit was actually removed. About 1 in 5 cherries still had the pit connected (or even inside). But, I still think this is a worthwhile tool to have in your kitchen if you have a lot of cherries to pit!
