Landtom Premium Metal Nutcracker, Black, Fulfilled by Amazon

I'm a tool guy and though this is strange looking nut cracker but it really works. And on so many different kind of nuts. If you play around with it, you can get to the point of cracking the shell and not breaking the meat. And solves the mess problem. Just need an separate dish to dump the shells in. And, I almost forgot, it doesn't take anywhere near the effort of those old styled crackers. It makes sense, you have one lever causing again the steel side of the "bowl". Very clever, costly but worth it.

I was looking for a nutcracker for small nuts like pistachios. Oddly difficult to find but this one works great. And it’s reasonably priced highly recommend.

I have one previously that I bought in Sweden but with another name and three times the price. This one is identical and also made in Sweden. These nutcrackers are the best, especially for smaller nuts, but do work also for walnuts. Very easy to use, even for children. And do not crush the nut inside, only the shell. I have tried many types of nutcrackers, these ones are by far the best.

Good I like it. Can Crack lots of nuts fast.

I have two almond trees. People talk about walnuts being hard to crack. Walnuts have nothing on almonds. After almost immediately breaking not one, but two of the old fashioned nut crackers, I realized I need to up my game. I love the sleek lines of this nut cracker. It fits easily in my hand. And it cracks nuts, even almonds. Just not easily. To avoid damaging the “meat” the nut has to be aligned perfectly. My husband’s of medium build, but his hands are too big to manage this feat. I also found there was a lot of kickback when the shell finally cracked. I am apparently a slow learner because I have bruises from mid thigh to half way up my chest from the kickback. My husband, obviously a faster learner, also experienced a kickback that resulted in a reaction worthy of the $10,000 prize on America’s Funniest Home Videos. This may explain why his fingers became too large to handle the almonds. Bottom line, I highly recommend this product for softer shelled nuts. It’s beautiful and easy to handle. Keep looking if you need to crack large nuts or those with harder shells.
