Right, but be sure to get a Zyliss with a curved ergonomic handle. No
peeling and it takes MUCH less hand power.

I just bought a Zyliss garlic press online a couple of weeks ago.
It really does work as advertised.  But I didn't exactly get a bargain,
and then add shipping, you get the idea.  Couple of days ago, I'm
walking through the local supermarket and what do I see in the 
seasonal aisle, next to the flip flops and school supplies?  $9.99,
the very same garlic press.  What an idiot, I didn't look in the 
back-to-school aisle for a garlic press.  Heh.

I don't know if either of them have the handle you recommend.

Thanks for the tip. Mine's the Susi which doesn't have that - but it's
still very good! If I ever have to replace it I'd get the Susi 2 that
you suggest.

it's probably used as some kind of drug paraphernalia.

isn't it?  They could snort it through the holes.
