This olive pitter pinches your fingers! It is awful! I have thin fingers, but somehow the meat on my pointer gets caught between the metal pieces when I squeeze it closed! Ouch!!!

The cup is a separate piece from the bar, and is joined such that the force applied to the joint when you try to pit an olive is a shearing force, and as such it breaks very easily.

I've used various plastic pitters before with great success. This one did nothing but punch holes in 3 dozen cherries. I think it actually pitted about 3 of the cherries. Don't waste your money. Maybe it does olives better.

Olive pitter is a handy item for small olives but I really ordered it for the larger Greek olives that are a little hard to get into the tool. It eventually does work but it takes a lot of effort to accomplish the task.

This is an excellent tool for pitting cherries. Like most other tools in the kitchen it is just an aid and how it works depends on the technique used. It is sturdy, simple and will last a long time. The trick is to place the cherry stem end up (remove stem) and slowly squeeze the tool into the cherry. You will feel when you are near the pit and then push through. If you miss the pit it is a simple task to separate the cherry in half with your fingers and most times the pit will hang down, dislodged from the pulpy portion. I used to pit cherries for pie with a knife and this tool cut my time by over seventy-five percent.

This is the best olive/cherry hand pitter I've ever used. Far better than any of the more expenive brands.

This is the first pitter I have ever used and it has worked fine. You do have to pay attention as it will loosen but not eject the occasional pit. Overall though it does a good job for a low price. It sure beats doing them by hand!
