No, I'm not getting over it. I'm simply not going to get it. I don't have time to put up with crappy tools. Still, to be fair, the WS version works well enough for casual use. $15 for a poorly made version of something that I can get a proven, professionally quality, version for $10?

Yum! Weird to see a black juicer in your video; I'm used to them being lemony yellow.

I found the Williams-Sonoma products to be overpriced and underbuilt. I still have a big-ass orange enameled version for squeezing oranges and big lemons, but only because I haven't found the real thing in that size. At Tommy's, they use that style of squeezer, but made like a tank. Literally, the guys behind the bar will squeeze through hundreds of limes a night with the same tool. They are available for about $10 and they are heavy-frickin'-duty. No play. All squeeze motion. Now, If I could just find a good source for bulk thin skinned limes around here....
