I absolutely love it This is so Easy to use and does exactly what it’s intended for. It’s heavy duty and definitely not made cheap of flimsy. I have never used a tenderizer before this one, but now I’m hooked. I’ve never had a piece of meat so juicy! The “needles” are nice and sharp, but don’t come out unless pushing down with some force, we bought (2) 2 inch thick Steaks and they came out so tender and juiciewouls highly recommend
