Precisely what I’ve come to expect from Mannkitchen: reliable, high-performing, solid, simple. Love that the curved handle gives extra torque on the crush. REALLY love the ease of cleaning. Was worried it might be a little too heavy for some people in the kitchen (my wife is petite w/ very small hands), but that turned out to be a non-issue. And as if all this review love weren’t enough, one of only 2 pairs broke unexpectedly due to a faulty rivet, and the staff went out of their way to get it replaced for free, even shipping it to my current location halfway around the world. Very impressed. Moving forward, please count me among your loyal customers.
