In regards to the question about one-handed gadgets, I think one thing that would be cool to see would be for any products that are targeted at - or at least seem like they could be useful for - people with disabilities or lower physical abilities, would be to come up with some sort of way of testing those claims. Perhaps testing certain products as if you only had the use of one hand, or - as I've seen done before as a way to test diminished grip strength, using your non-dominant hand with a little oil on your fingers - or other such scenarios. Would certainly be an interesting way to see how these products might help people who really may benefit from them.

I bought one of these off Amazon that works reliably with cabbage (the denser the better,) but it does feel like by design, they're easy to get wrong build wise.

I certainly wouldn't recommend getting one from any place that doesn't have a lenient return policy as they are apparently much more YMMV than I thought. Guess I got lucky.

Not that this thing seems to work well, but you'd probably have better luck with the cabbage on the board instead of trying to hold it up in the air. You also need to hit the cabbage way higher than you were hitting it. You were basically bringing the shredder down on the top of the cabbage which is why it was gliding. You needed to make sure those blades were catching the edge, not hitting the side. Which looks like it'd be awkward to do. Not sure why this is any better than a box grater or something.
