Works great as long as its in a tight fitting bowl!

I have arthritus and it so much easier to use this than to try topull the filters apart.

I didn't know if this thing would really work or not, but I wouldn't be without it now that I've been using it for a couple of months. Picks up one filter every time.

I had looked in stores everywhere but couldn't find this. Struggled getting coffee filters apart. This works so well, use it every day and absolutely love it!

I have wanted one of these for YEARS and I finally got one! I had a gift card and I needed to spend a few more dollars. This was perfect!!

Works Great. I used to have trouble getting one paper filter from the stack but this works easily to pick one up right out of the stack of filters.

This is a very handy little tool to have. It works just fine

Worked great exceeded my expectations

Very helpful with my sore hands

Works, but you have to apply some pressure. They do, however, seem to be sturdy and not likely to break easily with the pressure.

i use to have a smaller blue filter separator for like a decade that i think was a bonus with the coffee or filters and loved it. it went MIA and i can't find the same one but, happy to find someone (seems to be the only one) actually still makes a tool separator instead of the container ones that seems to be the norm nowadays. i am not having issues with it, it separates filters fine for me..<br /><br />UPDATE; 4mths & a week later this tool just up and snapped in half on me! a pretty cheaply made tool for breaking like that from just daily use by a weakling woman! lowered rating from 5 to 3, it should of lasted longer considering i didn't drop it or anything like that.. think i am going to now use the black rubber from these and have my brainiac hubby make me a lasting tool this time around..<br /><br />UPDATE: if yours breaks too, make your own using its rubber feets:<br />-get tongs that look exactly like the 'Cook's Corner 5-Piece Mini Tong Set'. (i bought mine at $ store, other like styles may or may not work)<br />-take ends off of one with pliers<br />-take rubber feets from broken filter separator off<br />-add a drop of superglue on each side of metal tong end & push rubber feets on.<br />**wait about an hour and poof you will now have an easy to hold about 3&#34; long filter separator that will never break on you and is easy to squeeze! really love mine.

great gadget

We used our Harold Filter Separator 3x a day for a year, and found it effortless and a time-saver. Then we broke it (our fault!) Some reviewers claim that theirs didn't work at all. Maybe, like my husband, they started out using it in the wrong way. (A demo picture would have made it clear to everyone.) Rather than carefully trying to pry away a coffee filter by the paper's edge, you hold the tool in the center of the filter and pinch. Only one paper will separate from the stack for you. After my husband saw it demonstrated, it became indispensable in our kitchen. We store ours in the box with the filters.<br /><br />Ours finally broke because Dear Husband was in the habit of placing his fingers midway on the skinny weakest part of the plastic, and pinching. It eventually cracked from stress. The ridges are there for a reason ;-) Super-gluing it back together didn't work. So now I will be ordering a replacement, and this time we'll be placing our fingers on the wide ridged parts, where it's strongest. Oh well, live and learn!<br /><br />Update 8/6/17 - Now that we've corrected user error, our replacement filter seperator is holding up just fine. Glad we have it!

Will work

It does work but wondering how long it will last. Seems like okay item.

Little things in life that make you happy!

I am in awe as to handy this little tool is. I used to struggle to remove a filter but this little dandy works like a charm. Recommended.

Works so good!

The end of coffee filter frustration; but, even better than that, when it couldn't be found locally, it was ordered on Saturday and arrive Monday.

This tool makes it possible to remove one filter at a time from the pack as described.
