Looks like a great idea: use compound leverage to increase the squeezing power/make squeezing easier.
However, there are some SERIOUS problems.
First,
do to the compound leverage design, you do have to open the handles WAY up to fit a normal sized half lemon in. So for people with smaller or weak hands: you're going to have to use 2 hands starting off because the handles will be so far apart.
However, the real problem comes with the materials used in the design. A few pieces are made of glitzy looking polished metal, but the rest is made of very soft and weak plastic. The handles bend and flex and bottom out / touch each other before the fruit is even fully squeezed.
After a few weeks of use the handles where starting to flex even more and seemed to be deformed.
After about a month of use the plastic near the hindge cracked and the unit literally fell apart. Thanks to Williams Sonoma and there awesome customer service for letting me take this back and put the money towards a better made tool.
If this thing where made out of 100% metal or even use a glass reinforced plastic or carbon fiber in place of the crappy plastic, I would gladly pay 2 to 3x the price. But with the current design, it's totally worthless.

The plastic handles are a bit flabby, so I had to "choke up" on the handles, and then a weak part of the gear mechanism snapped. Avoid this.

The gear mechanism advertised to increase force is made of plastic. The second time I used this juicer the last tooth of the plastic gear broke. The first time I used it was on small limes, so the thinner skin probably didn't stress it as much. Such a high stress part really should have been made of something much stronger (perhaps stainless steel).

This is a strong, well-made product that is perfect for squeezing the maximum amount of juice from limes, lemons, and all smaller citrus. Easy to use and clean.

I made key lime pie and with this juicer I was able to make the whole pie with the juice from just 1 and a half limes instead of 3! I was amazed!
This is a high quality kitchen implement made with heavy duty plastic. I was able to juice the limes with minimal pressure since the juicer's construction does most of the work.
I don't understand how the previous reviewer had a problem with this product. I was really impressed and thought it was an excellent way to spend $20. (Purchased it from a kitchen store, not Amazon.) I intend to put it to frequent use.
