With an improved, stronger handle redesigned in June 2010, our three-in-one Ultimate Citrus Tool features elliptically shaped, soft-touch handles that provide a sure and comfortable grip. The jazzy Lemon Lime, Zesty Yellow, Lime Green and Citrus Orange colors add energy and a touch of whimsy and fun to cooking and entertaining, and also make appealing gifts for avid cooks and cocktail enthusiasts.
The versatile Ultimate Citrus Tool features a patented surgical grade stainless steel Fine Microplane® blade – the company’s best-selling blade style – which excels in zesting the flavorful and aromatic peel of citrus fruit without grating into the bitter pith. In addition, the Ultimate Citrus Tool features two decorative garnishing blades in a large (.297-inch diameter) and small (.188-inch diameter) size. Conveniently positioned on one side of the tool, the decorative stainless steel circular blades effortlessly cut through the fruit’s peel to make restaurant-style garnishes in seconds. On the opposite side, an easy to use scoring blade simplifies the task of making citrus peel to garnish dishes and cocktails. |

I really like the design of this zester and find I use it all the time. Unfortunately, the plastic frame got brittle, cracked and snapped off. I contacted customer service and they immediately took care of the problem. Great product, excellent company. Thank you.

The tool itself was great, but the handle broke off very quickly. I would not recommend purchasing until they fix this problem.

Loved the tool but it broke

Like the other reviews, I have had this for only a couple of months and used 3 times. During the third usage it broke. I am going to e-mail the company to see what they will do about it ... am hoping they will rectify the situation as I love their other tools.

It Broke Only After Two Months!

I loved using the Citrus Tool until it broke only after two months of somewhat frequent usage. I was creating lemon peel when the plastic that attaches the top of the handle broke off and blade fell off. Also I had a hard time putting the cover back on.

I bought a yellow citrus grater for my wife and it quickly became a favorite tool for zesting lemons; that is, until it broke. The frame surrounding the steel grater blade turned cloudy and the handle broke at it's attachment point during use. The product needs a beefier handle.
