Westmark Olive Pitter, Practical Hand Tool With Spring, Length: 16.7 cm, Coated Aluminium, Olivus, 40402270

I really like this product. I prefer to buy olives with their stones in, especially Greek ones. The flavour and firmness are far superior to the "squishy" pitted ones, which sometimes have bits of stones or whole stones left in which can damage your teeth.I found this product easy to use. A few varieties of olives need a bit more pressure applied but did not cause any issues.

The tool feels fairly sturdy and it works very well for smaller olive varieties but it's a bit small for some of the larger queen olives. The larger pits can get stuck in the exit hole and can be difficult to remove.

Not cheap, but noticably better than any olive pitter I've ever used! Yet to encounter an olive that this sucker can't handle!

Great for pitting Kalamata olives, hardly any effort and stone just pops out cleanly, seems stutdy as well so I'm very happy with this.

Read a lot of reviews before purchasing this one. I finally settled on this one as it says it is a olive stoner (many say cherry stoner with olives as an after thought). I couldn't be happier with my final decision. Top quality product and very easy to use - I had a huge tub of olives to stone the other day and even my 7 year old could manage it. Looks durable and working well so far.

A really useful tool for de-stoning cherries or olives, which make a tedious job simple. That said I did find de-stoning large cherries tedious, as the stones don't pass through the gadget, and thus require more intervention. Pressing too hard on the handle can bend things out of alignment, wasting more time correcting the problem. Hence the four stars.

Waste of time and money. Too small a hole to stone olives. Only any good for cherries, and even then, only small ones!

Love it does seem rather strong sentiments for an olive stoner yet it deserves the 5 stars. I had one for years that was much heavier than this and stronger. Sadly lent it to someone and I have no idea but ... So I'd tried various high street models to no avail.This Westmark version is superb. Easy to hold, the olives sit comfortably (even fat ones) in the 'cup' to enable you to trigger the stones through the fruit. It works well for cherries too. But I use lots of olives for cookery and far prefer the non pitted ones so I need the right implement.And this it!
