An efficient, mess-free design makes Oxo Good Grips' cherry pitter unlike the others Removable splatter shield directs juices downward and prevents them from soiling a work area When not in use, the splatter shield fits inside the front chamber, and a lock holds the Cherry Pitter closed for convenient storage Sturdy, die-cast zinc construction removes pits with ease: soft, comfortable non-slip handles absorb pressure while tool is squeezed Extra large to accommodate Bing and Rainier cherries: has a recessed cup to securely hold smaller varieties when pitting
