What is your favorite hand lime juicer? - Tiki Drinks and Food

After nearly thirty years of Mai Tai mixing, this is my favorite lime squeezer (all the rest eventually frustrated me back to hand squeezing). It was pricey (about $11), but it works much better than the plastic ones. The lime is held more securely and as the rind goes through a sharp bend, lots of oil is forced out. The shell is shiny and literally dripping with fragrant lime oil after the squeeze. And, unlike the plastic ones, it won't break. You could probably stand on it! After reading this thread, I discovered that I couldn't find this tool in Ace Mart's online store, or anywhere else online. Now I'm worried, and can't wait to get back by the store to pick up an extra.
