The main feature that distinguishes the Good Grips Peeler from conventional vegetable peelers is its oversized, easy to grip handle, which makes it easier to use for people with limited grip strength.The handle is made from rubber and can be used effectively even when it is wet. Like many modern peelers, the blade is held between two arms, so it can be used with a simple pulling action and less effort is required than when using the older style peelers whose blade protruded like a knife from a handle. The stainless steel blade is very sharp and will glide through even the toughest of fruit and vegetables with ease, to give excellent results with minimal effort.
