I have both the yellow and green hand juicer. Here too, both broke. The pin in the hinge is just too weak. I repaired both with nails. I just popped a right sized nail in and bent the end with plyers. They will not break again.

I have tried three different types of hand juicers:

For me the yellow/green ones from China work the best.

An inexpensive bare metal from from Mexico was a disappointment due to less leverage and quick corrosion.

The third one is a hand juicer from Oxo. This one has a rubber pad on the handle. No corrosion problems. Better leverage than the Mexican one but not as good as the ones from China.

Now the problem is that the paint on the yellow juicer from China is starting to chip off so until I buy a replacement, I'm using the one from Oxo.

And of course for mass production I use an electric juicer. It's called "Juice-It" and it's from Proctor-Silex. It works great but at times seems a little under powered. But hey, it was a gift!
