Useful tool

So far so good . We shall see. Good bargain

It is a good product and does the job well. Makes picking up coffee filters easy. Down side is that it breaks after a rather short period of use. I have had 2 of them break when using. It would be better if the body was made of some metal instead of plastic that fails over time. Also, the price is good but shipping charge is outrageous -- over $14.00. About the same charge to ship one or 5. So I purchased 5 to bring the per item cost down and cover me for a few years of breaking.

they break in half in about year

Does exactly what I hoped it would. Nice product.

I bought this because I can't seem to grip coffee filters to get a single filter. So I bought these and they grip them well. They are short handled and it does take squeezing them more to get grippers to touch but I'm not complaining. I put my filters in a little box that I bought from Daiso and this coffee grips work well and fits in box. They do the job that I needed.

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

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!

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

Great little device.. Had one for years and then it finally broke. Couldn't find any locally so ordered 2 online. They are as advertised. Simple to use, good grip and a great little addition to morning coffee ritual. I have no idea how there are so many folks giving it 1* due to not working. Not sure that is even possible. None the less it is as advertise and does a great job for us.

nice

YES

very awsome helps making coffee so muich easier dont have to fight with filters anymore! love it everyone should have one
