I use the guard every time I use my grater. It works great and keeps my fingers safe.

I have had to replace 2 in a four year period for breakage, so I’d recommend getting an extra, but they’re definitely worth it.

Great, it has already paid for itself by the cheese saved near the rind.I always hesitated grating near the end of a piece because it would inevitably slip from my fingers and I would end up gratingly knuckles!

Fit the mill-grater well, time and finger saver, works great on hard and soft cheeses as well as garlic and ginger type grating.

This guard is necessary for the Microplane graters. It has a tendency to break over time, so I ordered two.

It doesn't make shredding easier for some things, but it does make it easier for others. I'm still glad I got it though.
