I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia and have been on a hunt for products that will help lessen the amount of hand pain I suffer from especially with everyday tasks.  I was hesitant to buy this because of the cost but now that I've used it, I should have paid the money a long time ago.  I had a Kitchen Aid peeler with a similar peeler setup that was given to me and the peels would always get stuck in between the blade and the peeler.  This doesn't do that and I'm so grateful.  The handle is rubber, thick, and soft which is so much better on my hands.  I would recommend this product to everyone.  Pay the money; you'll love it.
