I just got hold of this so called heavy duty aluminum burger press. It looks good but "HEAVY DUTY ALUMINUM" it's not even close. It's more like light weight pot metal. It feels like aluminum foil at best and might crumble if I hold it too tightly. The threads on the adjustable part of this thing are very rough. I haven't used it as yet but will give it a shot this evening. I give it 1 star because at least it looks like the picture and 1 star because I haven't used it yet. I'll be back!
