Avocados are delicious, but they can be challenging to open, pit, and slice without injuring yourself.

Instead of whacking on the pit with a knife and nearly slicing your hand open, you can use OXO's 3-in-1 Avocado Slicer 9.98 .

It has three parts: a plastic blade to cut into the avocado's skin, a pitter to remove the pit inside, and a slicer to evenly slice up the inside of the avocado.

I use this handy tool every time I make guacamole which is to say, often and it makes the entire process much easier.

Like any self-respecting millennial, I love avocados. I eat them a couple times a week, and I plan my meals around their whims. If my avocado is ripe, I'm eating tacos that night. You can't exactly tell a ripe avocado "no" they tend to rebel and turn stringy and brown when you ignore them.

The only thing I dislike about avocados is opening and pitting them. Without a proper tool, you're stuck using a knife to cut through the skin and take the pit out, which is, frankly, dangerous. I used to make my boyfriend take the pit out every time because I was convinced the knife was going to slip and cut my hand instead of removing the pit.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderSee Also:This 85 camping cutlery set is the only one you'll ever need here's what it comes withEverything in this new vegan skin-care line is under 35 I tried it and it improved my adult acneThis 65 hammock weighs 7 ounces and folds down smaller than my palm it's great for backpacking and days at the park
