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.

My five year old wants to help with everything in the kitchen and I'd rather not hand her a knife. This is perfect for her. She presses the green button, puts the claw over the stalk, twists, and lets the top drop into the food bin. She's so proud of herself. Hulled all the strawberries for her birthday cake on her own, and it goes in the top rack afterwards.

The claw takes the stalk out without squashing the berry, even when they are a bit soft. Gentle but firm, if that makes sense.

Pancake Sunday with sliced berries. Hulling is done in a flash.

Hulls berries and cores tomatoes. Love it.

Husband laughed when I bought a gadget just for strawberries. Then he did a punnet for his porridge with it and has been hulling everything in sight since, including the tomatoes for his Saturday fry up. Took him about two berries to get the press, close, twist, release routine. Pops in the top rack of the dishwasher with the mugs, which is handy.

Sunday is meal prep day and that includes washing and hulling two pounds of strawberries for breakfasts and snacks. This makes it quick and tidy. The claw grabs the stem and that hard white core in one twist, so the berries stay whole and keep longer in the fridge than sliced ones. I hit the button over the trash to drop the tops. Then it goes straight in the dishwasher.

Thought it was a gimmick. Use it constantly.

Packing strawberries in the kids' lunchboxes every morning. A quick twist per berry and they are ready, with hardly any red lost along with the stalk. Before this I was slicing the tops off, which wasted fruit and took longer. They come home with empty boxes now, which says plenty.

On big strawberries it's great, but the ones from my garden are small and the claw takes out a big chunk of the berry along with the stalk. A knife works better for those.

First few berries I twisted too hard and pulled out too much. Once I got the half turn down it's been great. Easy to clean in the dishwasher.
