Default How to pit cherries

I had a lunch sack mostly full of Bing cherries today that I pitted. My
pitter is old and rusty and I need to get a new one. The kind I have has
three loops on it and a plunger. You put one loop around your thumb, and
the others are for your pointer and middle finger. You then put the cherry
in the end of it, depress the plunger and if it works right, the pit pops
out of the bottom. I seem to remember it working better in the past. Today
only about 1/3 of the pits popped right out. And now my fingers are all
purple. Is there a device that works better than this? Thanks!
