I had used one of these for years (even gluing the body back together) but eventually a key piece broke off of the pusher mechanism, so I had to buy a new one. I use butter frequently but not every day, so I don't like to have a butter dish out all the time, just to have it convenient for cutting a bit off. This tool has worked great for me, fitting my needs. However, the one I received recently seems to be made of slightly weaker plastic and to less stringent specifications - the pusher has to be in exactly the right angle or it gets stuck, and the upper part with the wire cutter gets hung up on one side after nearly every cut. To get it to work, it needs much more attention than the previous model. Such a simple thing. Too bad, it seems corners are being cut in manufacture or assembly.
