A very crude and inefficient stuffer. It's cast iron (very rough sand casting) so its extremely heavy and, unless attached to a counter (unlikely for most users,) very unstable and hard to get much leverage.The above could be forgiven if the performance wasn't so poor. Vey shoddy fit between the horn and ram means that about 1/3 of the capacity bypasses the ram and must be re-stuffed.Mine will become a boat anchor this summer
