Hulling a punnet with a paring knife wastes the sweetest part of each berry and takes ages. This little red tool grips just the leafy top and the pale core beneath it, then lets go over the bin.
How to use it
Push the green button with your thumb and the steel prongs open at the tip.
Set the open claw over the stalk, let go of the button so it closes, then give a half turn.
Pull the claw out with the stalk in it, then press the button again over the bin to release it.
Close up
A 1.7 cm plunger. Press it with your thumb to open the claw, release it to close.
The red ABS body is shaped to sit in your palm, 9 cm long and 5 cm across at the shoulders.
Stainless steel prongs that close around the stalk. A half turn snaps the core free from the flesh.
Compared
For two or three berries a knife is fine. For a bowl of them for a trifle, jam or a tart, the claw is quicker and wastes less.

Only the stalk and the pale core under it, roughly the width of the claw. A knife usually takes a wedge of red fruit with it.
Yes, on the stalk end of salad and plum tomatoes. Very large beef tomatoes can have a core wider than the claw, so they may need a second go.
Once you have the rhythm, yes: press, grip, twist and drop takes a couple of seconds per berry, and there is no trimming afterwards because only the core comes out.
The claw has sharp steel tips, so it is better kept for adults or older children with someone watching. There is no blade, but the prongs can still nip.
The supplier describes it for strawberries, tomato stalks and other soft fruit and vegetables. Firm produce such as apples or carrots is too hard for the small claw to bite into.

Sample, not realEvery Saturday in June we come home from the farmers market with way too many strawberries. Hulling them used to be a whole production with a paring knife and a pile of wasted fruit. Now my husband and I sit on the porch and do them in a few minutes. Press the button, close it over the stem, twist, and drop the top in a bowl. Super satisfying.

Sample, not realBought it mainly for coring beef tomatoes from the greenhouse and the core is wider than the claw, so I had to go in two or three times each. Not for me.

Sample, not realMade a big fruit tray for my sister's baby shower and wanted the strawberries whole with the tops out so they'd sit flat and look tidy. Hulled about sixty with this in front of the TV. The claw takes out the stem and that white center but leaves the rest of the berry alone, so they still looked plump and red on the tray. Threw it in the dishwasher after, top rack.

Sample, not realMade strawberry jam on Saturday and hulled four punnets with this. Thumb was a bit tired by the end but it was quick and the berries kept their shape.

Sample, not realReally good for what it is. My strawberries come out whole and look so much nicer for dipping or slicing on top of shortcake, and I'm not throwing away a third of each berry like with a knife. The only thing is it's small and light, so it gets lost in my utensil drawer. I keep it in a cup on the counter now. Cleans up fine on the top rack of the dishwasher.

Sample, not realMaking mini fruit tarts for a bridal brunch. Every berry was whole and the stalks were gone, so the tarts looked bakery neat.

Sample, not realEvery June we go strawberry picking and come home with far too many, and hulling them with a knife always took ages and wasted a lot of fruit. With this you just press the button, close it over the stalk, twist, and the green top and the white core come out together. Did three punnets for jam in half the time, and the berries kept their shape for the top of a Victoria sponge.
