I bought mine from the "dollar lady" at the flea market. You know the pegboard kitchen utensils at your local supermarket? Rather than fill in stock, it is cheaper for the jobber to replace whole categories. He then sells the mishmash to flea market vendors. Lots of what I buy from her is preticketed from 5.99 to 9.99.
I would just make sure that it is metal, seems to have a good connection top to bottom and feels good in your hand. I should cost around $8. My guesstimate.
You put the fruit in cut side down, which is slightly counterintuitive.
Believe it or not, the metal citrus squeezer I had snapped in half -- they're often cast from very soft metal.
I ended up replacing it with the Chef'n Fresh Force at the recommendation of (I think) an ATK testing. It's got a geared compound action that makes it much easier to use.
The handles are plastic, but the piece that presses against the citrus is metal.
