Specially designed to get the tasty zest while leaving the bitter rind behind. The notch tool works to get spirals of peel and the soft, oversized handle works to take pressure off your hand.
With two uses in one utensil, this tool is the ultimate for working with citrus. The head features several sharp holes for zesting lemons, oranges and more, while the channel knife lets you create elegant garnishes and decorations with little effort. And when you're through, its large, oversize handle opening makes hanging easy. The Good Grips line features durable, nonslip flexible handles on every product. Ergonomically designed to fit the palm comfortably and softly, the pressure-absorbing processed rubber handle puts less tension on the hands, while providing an outstanding grip. Made from the same material as dishwasher gaskets are constructed of, the handles are slip-proof, wet or dry, as well as dishwasher-safe. Good Grips products are moderately priced and have won the Tylenol/Arthritis Foundation Design Award. --Laurie Notaro

I continue to buy OXO products:
I haven't found an OXO kitchen tool that I have yet to like or think is better than any other brand I've used. I give this 5 stars for a reason.
Good, but not the best:

I went out and got a Microplane (this one,... more info
Nice, but...:
This is a pretty good zester. It has a very comfortable grip and it's easy to clean. It was perfect for my needs, but if you want a very fine zest this is not the product for you. It's really only practical if you don't mind a little bit thicker zest.
OXO Lemon Zester:
This is an excellent little tool for curling off nice, long strings of lemon peel for cocktails, smoothies, stir fries, soups, salads,and even teas, and broths. Comes sharp, stays sharp, fits your hand nicely to make the job even more fun! - I would say even a great tool for professionals! One of those tools that you'll wonder why you waited so long to have in your kitchen arsenal!
