Title: No other tool quite like it...
Review: I think this is helpful when you master using it...which can take a bit of time if your used to using a knife. Having always used just a paring knife to cut and de-vein getting the hang of this was a bit of a struggle. I thought, being a bit of a foodie, I "needed" this.. Need, is a strong word...but I do like this now...The pre-cleaned and easy peel shrimp is much more espensive than just the shrimp in the shells...this does make it a bit easier.Once I *got* it, I think I am faster than I was. So since it doesn't take up much space and isn't expensive I think this was a good purchase.That said... its a bit like a grapefruit spoon or melon baller in that it can be very nice to have and extreamly convenient to have under the right circumstances...but as to really needing it.. That is a hard call.
