I read a recommendation about this and thought I'd buy it. I love my other 'Joseph Joseph' items so assumed this would be a success too. I used it tonight for garlic (I know it's a zester, but the article suggested that it was also good for ginger and garlic). My finger is now in a plaster...it's lethal. Probably fine if you're holding a whole lemon, lime or orange but otherwise I'd be very, very careful! Anyone want to buy a zester? Only used once.

I am a gourmet cook and I zest lots of lemons and limes, and this zester works great! I love how it collects the zests in the plastic holder so that it doesn't make a mess. So happy to add this to my collection of kitchen tools!

This product is great, excuse the pun! What info does not emphasise is that you can slide protector onto reverse side and catch zest or parmesan in it rather than spraying it around. Bought having used a friends which is best way for online purchases as some gadgets disappoint but not this one.
