While it's great that you're finding use from the tool, it's important to remember that items like these are often composed of plastic and can't be easily recycled. Let's try to think about the number of items we consume and the waste we generate.

Oh boy, can't wait to see the diamond encrusted gold plated multi-use peanuts sheller next!

Trust me, that won't be your only 'useless' tool. Once you discover the whole world of kitchen gadgets, you start appreciating the convenience. Ever tried a cherry pitter or a pineapple corer? Life. Changing.

Oh, the horror of peeling avocados!! The struggle is real, amirite? Lol.

I feel you! Got one myself after trying to peel an avocado, slipped, and almost took off a finger. Best decision ever! Who cares if it's got one job, it does it well. Young folks don't understand the struggle.

In my experience as a tool collector, all tools (even those deemed 'useless') have their place. It's about understanding and appreciating their purpose and limitations. An avocado tool is specifically designed to perform a set of tasks related to an avocado, and for someone with arthritis, to a veteran chef, it might be a godsend. It's simple to use, reliable and safe, particularly for those whose hands might be prone to injury with a knife. So yes, it might not be for everyone, but that certainly doesn't make it 'useless'.

You say avocado tool. I need my knife and that's it. These multi-whatever things are just money drain.

Yo, those tools are the bomb, dude! I love avocados but always hated the mess of dealing with them. Got myself one of these as a bit of a joke, but now I can't live without it. Grandson doesn't know what he's missing.
