Mexican Lime Squeezer (Stainless Steel)

[Bayou]

I recently purchased a cast-aluminum "Mexican" lime squeezer and managed to break the handle off on the first lime I tried to squeeze. This squeezer looks (and functions) like a deformed garlic press.

Any leads on where I might could find a stainless steel version of this squeezer?

some sources for you... call to verify the material they are made of.... I prefer the wood reamer myself!

Bayou - I had the same experience with the cast lime press. I've never seen one made of better material, but I subsequently bought the larger version, still cast aluminum, that's sold for lemons and have had no trouble using it for limes. I like the wooden reamers, too, but the production rate is a little slow for Margaritas.

cchiu & Dick, thanks for the help. I checked out the sites cchiu listed and found the squeezer that dick suggested.

I saw a bartender in San Antonio use one of the stainless steel models (didn't ask where it came from) and he was lightning fast in making (very good) Margaritas.
