Reinvent the Potato Peeler

Sam Farber founded OXO after observing his wife struggling to peel a potato while suffering from rheumatoid arthritis in her hands. The Swivel Peeler, introduced in 1990, took a long-accepted product design and reinvented it to be more user friendly, even for people with a weak grasp. In doing so, it created a new marketplace for ergonomic devices suitable for people of any age or physical ability. The peeler remains one of OXO's top-selling products.
