Bar10Der Bar 10 Der-Purple 4029

Second one of these I've ordered. While you could get a better knife, or corkscrew, or spoon elsewhere.. no where will you get EVERYTHING you need all in one tool. I love mine to death.

I ordered this gadget thinking it would serve all my cocktail mixology needs. Unfortunately, although it is cute and seems like a catchy idea, the "BAR10DER" is poorly designed.I immediately noticed that the muddler is not long enough to make it firmly to the bottom of a standard sized shaker. Huge design flaw. It does not detach, nor does it lock in place; if you move your hand up to hold the instrument higher, around the body, if you will, to get more length, the muddler flips to the side on its axis. So you can't get a good firm muddle unless you muddle in a shallower glass. Also, if you are an experienced bartender, you will notice that the tip of the muddler, while great for reaming citrus in your hand, is too narrow and bulb-shaped to muddle well in the bottom of a cup or shaker. Essentially this item is a reamer they have tried to pass off as a muddler.Another problem with the design is that the jiggers are very close to the body of the gadget and do not detach. When you go to wash them, you inevitably get water into the nooks and crannies of the gadget.Finally, the entire item is bulky and heavy - awkward in the hand. Although it was a cute idea, it seems bar tools are better off as separated entities. Returning mine today.

This was coming apart when it arrived. Didn't want the bother of sending it back so I glued it together- hope it holds! Item seems way over priced! But like the compact design of a multi function tool.
