I can never make either kind work consistently. I just use a sharp serrated steak knife and tap tap tap a line across the top of the egg and then insert that knife to lift off the lid. That being said, my husband is the executive chef of a large catering company. When they have those soft boiled eggs with caviar and such on top, they use the clacker kind. He swears by them and they often do hundreds at time.
