Customers are mixed about the quality of the pit remover. Some mention it's a good quality made product, very sturdy, and makes seeding easy and mess free. However, others say that it ends up just tearing through and breaking through the bottom. The steel is hardened and fractures without bending, making it difficult to pull it out of the peppers.

"...seed cucumbers, zucchini and squash, and have used it to easily create pockets in roasts to insert garlic cloves and herbs." Read more
Customers are mixed about the size of the core pit remover. Some mention that it works best on larger jalapeno peppers, while others say that it's too big for the peppers they use it on.
"Good quality made product. Worked great on bigger jalepeno peppers, but tore up the smaller ones. Does what it's meant to, would recommend." Read more
"...However, it's impossible for the tool to perfectly fit every sized pepper...." Read more
"...As it is, the last 1/2 to 1 inch doesn't get cleaned out. Large size peppers work great, but too large to use on "average" size jalapenos...." Read more

Customers are mixed about the value of the core pit remover. Some mention it's great value for the money, has good quality, and is worth the investment. However, others say that it was not worth it, was a complete waste of time, and was not much use on a serrano.
"A useful, inexpensive tool. Don't expect the serrated edges to be sharp, you're only coring a soft pepper...." Read more
"...Not much use on a serrano." Read more
"...Much easier to control veins and seeds. Worth the money." Read more
"If you like to use jalapenos this is well worth the money. Just twist and pull and the guts of the pepper come out neatly...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of cutting. Some mention that it makes it easy to cut and deseed the jalapeo, it cuts and cores quickly, and it beats using a paring knife. However, others say that it doesn't cut at the bottom, it doesn’t cleanly cut the interior membranes of the peppers, and that the blades are dull.
"...Otherwise, it penetrates the side of the pepper while in use." Read more
"...I should have bought one 20 years ago.The top cutter is pretty useless but the rest doesn’t get any better." Read more
"...issue is that is is relatively wide at the tip, so it has a tendency to cut a hole through the tip of a normal sized jalapeno if you are not careful." Read more
"...This cleans them out so easy and then you can still slice them in half after. I can't wait to buy another one for me!" Read more

Close to the handle is a serrated edge. Use this to cut the top off the pepper. Then poke the tip of the blade into the edge of membrane and start to twist. The tool really does a great job of scraping *most* of the membrane off the inside of the pepper and collecting the seeds into one tidy wad. Then the barbs on the inside of the tool grab the membrane/seed wad so you can easily pull it out.
However, it's impossible for the tool to perfectly fit every sized pepper. As the sides of the pepper taper to a narrow point, the tool can't reach anymore. So there's no way to get the seeds or membrane out of the last 1/3 of the pepper. Depending on how you cook your peppers, that last bit of seeds/membrane can still be enough to leave too much heat in the pepper.
Although the cored & stuffed peppers I grilled looked fantastic, they were just too doggone hot for most of my guests. I think I may have to go back to slicing them in half lengthwise so I can completely clean them out.
If you can, try to shop for peppers with almost no curve to them, because it's impossible to core out the curved tip. Also look for peppers with a snubbed rounded nose instead of a sharp tip. Those will work better with this tool.
So I almost love this tool. It's almost fantastic, but not quite right for me.
EDIT (1/30/12):
I've been using this tool for over six months now, and it's been steadily growing on me. I've decided that it's not such a bad thing to leave some heat hiding in the tips of the peppers. Otherwise it's possible to clean out too much of the heat and end up with a bland pepper. I think there was also a bit of a learning curve for me. I'm happier with this tool now than I was at the beginning. It's definitely a keeper and I recommend it.
