My pleasure! Few things are as frustrating as inferior tools in the kitchen. Bon apetite!

You'd think we would be used to it by now.

Luckily I got mine when they were still all metal construction. But I agree, plastic components don't hold up.

Believe it or not, yes! From Wikipedia: "The company also produced a line of pepper mills, salt grinders, and rolling pins sold under the Vic Firth Gourmet brand for many years until those interests were sold to Maine Wood Concepts of New Vineyard, Maine in 2012 and re-branded under the name Fletchers' Mill."
Interestingly, the NYT's Wirecutter rates Peugeot and Fletchers' Mill the top 2 pepper mills of 2022 (https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-pepper-mill/)

No doubt. But they're worth it in the long run, right? I have a Vic Firth pepper mill. 12 years and hasn't skipped a beat. Well worth the investment, which I think was somewhere around $55 at the time.

URI does too. 3rd largest research reactor in the country, although not owned by URI. None of them are. Owned by the Nuclear Energy Regulatory Commission (or something like that.)
