Overview
So you have been vigorously guacamole-ing and your avocado tool has finally given in. Fear not, as it is not the end of the world. You have a few options when it comes to fixing or replacing your trusty tool.
Try to fix it yourself
If your avocado tool is a simple one, such as a knife or spoon, you may be able to fix it yourself. Try sharpening it or tightening any screws if they are loose. YouTube is a great resource for finding tutorials on how to fix everyday tools. Take a look and see if there’s a video that can help you.
Return it to the store
If you purchased your avocado tool from a store, check with them to see if they offer any warranties. Some stores may have a return policy to replace a broken item, or they may offer a warranty on your purchase. Check the receipt or the store’s website to see if this is an option for you.
Purchase a replacement
If all else fails, or if you have an avocado tool that is too complex to fix, you may need to purchase a new one. Check popular online retailers such as Amazon or Bed Bath & Beyond for a replacement tool. Read reviews and compare prices before making a purchase, and make sure to choose a tool that suits your needs.
Consider alternatives
If you are unable to repair or replace your avocado tool, or if you would rather not spend more money on a new one, consider using alternative tools to prepare your avocados. A sharp knife, spoon, or even your hands can be used to cut and smash avocados. Just be extra careful if you opt for the knife option!
