When it comes to vegetable peelers and potato peelers, there are two types of people: Those who prefer Y-peelers, and those who like to use the traditional straight peelers. Progressive International's Ultimate Peeler, however, will, ahem, appeal to both. This cleverly designed gadget features a blade that's on an adjustable metal track, so it can be used as a Y-peeler, or the blade can be turned to be used as a straight peeler. A knob at the end of the handle loosens and tightens the blade, so you can lock the blade at any angle for the most comfortable position for the job. The tip of the blade has a point for removing potato eyes (a feature that many Y-peelers lack). The Ultimate Peeler has a suggested retail price of $12.99.
