I just bought a Zyliss garlic press online a couple of weeks ago.
It really does work as advertised. But I didn't exactly get a bargain,
and then add shipping, you get the idea. Couple of days ago, I'm
walking through the local supermarket and what do I see in the
seasonal aisle, next to the flip flops and school supplies? $9.99,
the very same garlic press. What an idiot, I didn't look in the
back-to-school aisle for a garlic press. Heh.

I don't know if either of them have the handle you recommend.
