Yes, these are GREAT! I have a friend who has the Appliquick sticks, they work VERY much the same as these lobster sticks (which I have) then 2 differences I see are : (1) the price (2) the Appliquick sticks are heavier in weight. But a far as how they work....my lobster sticks are working just fine!

excellent price. but then again, some people buy expensive tools to turn points. I use my free chopsticks. I bought some pretty ones, painted for $1.

I love that idea. I too watched the video and wanted the tools until I saw the price. Yikes. Figured I could find something to use besides those. Thanks for the idea Tartan.

Those are a great alternative.

I have an orange wood stick and a bamboo skewer. Works for me.

Eureka! You're a genius Tartan! Thanks for sharing this tip. alway thought the appli sticks were ridiculously expensive. Now I can see if lobster sticks work for me without a huge investment. If I don't like them for applique I will just eat more lobster! Lol
