Say goodbye to slicing, dicing, and chopping impossibly tiny cloves of garlic. Using the Good Grips garlic press, the work is done for you with just one firm squeeze and no strain on your hands. The press is as easy to clean as it is to use: just flip the handles and the built-in cleaner punches the remains right through. The second part of this set, the 4-inch pizza wheel, is one you can rely on to make a complete cut on the first run, thanks to its beveled stainless-steel blade. It's also great for cutting strips of dough for pies. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip, flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably, the pressure-absorbing, processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while still providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

 poor workmanship August 29, 2004

I have owned this garlic press for about 2 years and it failed the other night crushing pieces (I always slice them first) for my chili recipe. May seem hefty but it cal break at the pivot. I'm tired of companies making cheap kitchen equipment and will look for something that slices small pieces instead of "crushing" if this is a weak point for these products.
not so good July 16, 2004
The part about the garlic press that should be so great is a piece of plastic that cleans the press after use. Mine broke off after a couple of uses.The press is fine, just not as great as advertised. I have no knowledge of the pizza wheel. The price is great for the two pieces. I paid as much for one piece.
Low quality June 19, 2004
I bought this because of the reversible cleaning gizmo, which worked fine. But it was hard to press, left a lot behind, and ultimately the handle broke - the metal sheared into two pieces. Poor quality.
 Quality problems May 15, 2004

I purchased this set since I was an avid buyer of OXO kitchen utensils/products. I do think they are having quality problems. My garlic press broke when I was pressing a medium sized garlic clove. I wrote to OXO and have never received any reply. They say they have an unconditional guarantee on their products and this is the 3 item which I have had problems with and when I write to them they simply do not answer. The products are pleasant to use, but having used a garlic press less than 1 year (as well as their silicone spatula and angled measuring cups which show micro-cracks after a while)and a manufacturer who simply disregards customers, I think it better to purchase someone elses products.
 More great products from the Good Grips line! August 14, 2003

I received this set as a gift about 3 years ago, and I think it's great! The pizza cutter, which has fins on the rubber handle, is particularly comfortable, and it does a great job of slicing through thick Boboli pizzas. Unlike more cheaply-made versions, this garlic press feels firm and weighty in your hands, and it does an excellent job of producing finely minced garlic. The red rubber fingers ensure that the piece cleans easily and thoroughly. I did experience a problem with the garlic press, however: recently, the red cleaning fingers would no longer line up with the holes, and after I continued to use it this way for a few more weeks, the press eventually broke in two. Luckily, when I contacted OXO via email, they told me that they stand behind their products 100%, and so I have a new garlic press on the way as we speak. You can't lose with OXO!
