The purpose of any cherry pitter I've ever seen or heard of is to keep as much of the cherry intact as possible. My little 20+ year old one is made of chromed wire and has a yoke and a plunger to pop out the pit, but mine misses a lot especially with some cherries, One batch I bought and pitted recently had many cherries that did not want to give up their pit! :-(
