Hmm... I bought an Oxo when I couldn't find a hand-held SwingAWay.
Cussed out the Oxo more than a few times because it wouldn't bite
properly. Maybe I just got a bad one. Anyway, when I found a new
SwingAWay I tossed the Oxo.

SwingAWay still makes a wall-mount job, available on eBay (and
elsewhere I'm sure). I need to look around the kitchen to see where I
might mount one. We had one when I was a kid, loved it. All the
features of an electric except (A) no cord and (B) it worked properly.
