Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + Listing describes a single piece of natural beech wood with no glue, so there are no joints to loosen
  • + Dual-end design is stated to fit wide and regular mouth Mason jars as well as ceramic fermentation crocks
  • + The 11.5 inch length and curved grip are described as keeping knuckles clear of the jar rim

Trade-offs

  • - At 11.5 inches it is shorter than the 12 to 16 inch pounders, so it suits jars better than deep crocks
  • - Lesser-known brand and the listing gives no wood finish detail, so oiling and care are up to you

Prices change often, so check the current price and availability on Amazon.
