Nutcracker

This nutcracker doesn't just look different, it works better than others we've tried. Its 4" long beech grips let you exert controlled pressure to crack shells, leaving the meat of the nut – and your fingers – intact.

Its spring-loaded aluminum jaws form a cup with a tapered shape that readily accepts nuts of various sizes (hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds and more); simply upend the cup and tap gently to release the contents.

A well-made device that’s easy to master. Made in Spain.
