Oxo Good Grips make excellent tools so I'm sure it's great. I haven't yet tried mine on cherries but the stone/pit hole diameter is 1cm, although I'm not sure what the diameter of a cherry pit is, come to think of it... I reckon if you're intending to pit more cherries than olives it might be worth paying the extra for the Oxo as it's specifically designed for them - that splatter shield has to be a bonus - happy pitting!

Would this one be any good, do you think?
