This masher is amazing! Stout and made well! Will be perfect for pushing down the cap on grapes!use this as a punch down tool for wine making. It works great, totally sealed, and all stainless. Works great for our use, will never mash this many potatoes. Sure works great on grapes.FEDEX shipping SUCKS. Not the first package that has disappeared into "never-land". This time at least it was restored. Thanks to Paul for getting us a second one out, and working with us to take the "extra" one back.Love this, perfect just as described!This is the mother of all potato mashers. Big, strong, easy clean. For the record, I will probably never use it for mashing potatoes. But for you home winemakers out there, this serves as an excellent punch-down tool. It allows me to get all the way to the bottom of my 32-gallon fermenting vessel without getting my hands in the must. For me, it has been a lower-cost alternative to the punch-down tools sold by the wine-making retailers.Used everyday in my kitchenItem was purchased to use as a stirrer for brewing all grain beer. On checkout of the item I found that liquid leaked into the handle, making it unsuitable for my needs. The leakage would have decomposed within the handle and contaminate future brew batches. Therefore, it was no good for brewing as shipped.I had to cut the working end off and mount it on a solid handle so this would not be an issue.Too big to use. Can't mash potatoes at the counterused in wine making to mash grapes. solid build - good quality.Long handle to save my back, would buy again.The right tool makes the job go better. I do love the ease of cleaning this great tool. Thanks!
