Pulling handles is the bane of my existence. For that reason this tool is so nice to have. While it’s not a necessity it’s easy to use and makes a good shaped handle. The tool is quite small so be careful you don’t misplace it. I have bought the mug one as well but pictured is the pitcher handle. I enjoy the slightly surfer size. So far the tool has held up well. Kempar tools are the best in the business and are worth the investment. They close at the end of the month so get what you need now.
