 works great on walnuts and other large nuts December 21, 2007

This gadget works great on walnuts, cracks them so you can get the meat out, without shattering the shell and making a mess. You still will need a nut-pick (which doesn't come with this nutcracker). This costs more than the standard pliers-type nutcracker, but is worth it.

Works great. Just hold your hand over the top as you squeeze so nothing comes flying out. Takes hardly any pressure to crack walnuts. When you're done simply shake it over the pail to dump any small pieces of shell. Or, pop it in the dishwasher. We'll probably be buying a few of these next Christmas as gifts. A must have if you eat a lot of shelled nuts of any type. I had no problem at all with small nuts as the first reviewer said.

This product was recommended by Fine Cooking Magazine. They usually know what they are talking about. After years of pinched fingers and uncrackable nuts I was ready to pay $14.00 for a nut cracker. Well it works, even on Brazil nuts. But it often doesn't crack almonds if they are small. And it's kid friendly! I don't have to stop what I'm doing every other nut and crack it for them.
great idea but needs improvement January 10, 2008

For hazal nuts, pecans,and brazil nuts it's great the shells really don't fly all over the place like with other nut crackers.. but forget almonds , their shape and size make it impossible to open. Most walnuts are also too large to fit into the small opening on top.. Another possible problem is that It's made of some plastic type material which may not hold up under pressure after much use..
a better one would have been made of metal and have a larger opening on top.. perhaps and even larger opening would make it so you can open several nuts at one time and just dump them all into a plate and pick away the shells..
 Promising product, but dismal in the long run February 8, 2008

This product doesn't look like much, but it does successfully crack all kinds of nuts, even the tough brazil nuts. Unfortunately, the shell shards can get stuck in the handle. If you don't carefully clean them out before releasing the handle, the handle can break off. Wish the manufacture had warned me!
