Must Plunger: 48" Handle, 10" Disc
Plate too wide for some uses.
10/13/2017
Aside from the fact that the item seems to be solid, well made stainless steel that cleans well, and I have no problem with its design or performance...
I found the 10 inch diameter plate too wide, for the initial break through of the must cap in any container with a less than say a 36 inch dia. top opening - as are probably most fermenting containers used in home wine making.
By "too wide" I mean too much resistance to the plunger to be able to break through the cap.
I'm going to look for a smaller diameter version.
A 5, 6, or 7 inch diameter plate more easily penetrates a must cap in home size containers (trash can or barrel size and smaller).
Once the must cap is thoroughly broken, the 10 inch dia. plunger can then be used, if still desired.
The 10 inch size is probably the choice for the larger vats used in winerys where the larger must cap surface area doesn't present as much resistant to the first few initial plunges.

I purchased a must plunger came in fast it is a must have for wine making and if you,don't have one you need it. Works great we used it for our grapes we got in from Chile. It's all stainless steel which makes for easy cleaning up.
