I have one of these and use it often! Learned about it watching Father Dom on PBS (Breaking Bread with Father Dom). It provides a more consistent, less heavy dusting of flour than I get using my hands (though I still do that sometimes). I won't say I can't live without it, but I wouldn't get rid of it either.
