I purchased two of these cookie cutters from another location. Boy was it a big mistake. They both broke before I got started with them good. I would think that it was because I did not know how to use a cookie press of this type but I have used a cookie cutter similar to this one for years. The only reason that I purchased this brand in the first place was because I was desperate for a cookie press and it was the only brand the store I purchased this one at had to offer. Thanks Fox Run for wasting $44 of my hard earned cash.
