OXO Good Grips Seafood & Nut Cracker

I may use it to crack crab, but my main use for this wonderful OXO cracker device is cracking filberts for my backyard squirrel pals. I got tired of peanut shells on my lawn and decided to try giving them shelled filberts instead of peanuts in the shell. They loved the filberts but I got a blister on my finger from cracking filberts with a regular nutcracker. They’re hard! I was also struggling with the nuts slipping out of place and smashing them into fragments way too often, vs getting a whole or at least two halves out of the shell. This OXO cracker gives me control. The nuts don’t slip out of it and it’s easier to just lightly crack the shell, preserving the nut meat whole or in halves. Far fewer coming out as crumbs. And easy on my hand! No more blisters. I don’t have a particularly strong grip and this cracker makes using it a breeze. Spoil yourself and get one, if you ever need to crack a lot of nuts. Just so much easier and faster to use than the typical kind of nutcracker. FIVE STARS.

These have a nice, sturdy feel and function perfectly. So much better than the cheap version I had.

We have used it as a nutcracker. It appears to be made well and does the job.

This nutcracker was more expensive than others available; but it is lightweight and doesn't do as well with hard shell nuts as I had hoped. If you are using it on nuts such as paper shell pecans, it works fine. It takes a lot of leverage on other nuts. The handles do provide good grips for exercising that leverage.

Bought this for my elderly mom to use. She loves cracking pecans and walnuts. The rubber grips on the handles make it more comfortable and better grip for her fragile hands.

This is the best nut cracker I have bought. It's very easy to use; no struggling to crack pistachio shells. Thank you!

They were just mediocre.

I love this nutcracker! It feels good in the hand and is very strong. It’s actually easier to crack nuts with this one than the old cheap one I had that finally broke. Do yourself a favor and buy this one. It’s totally worth it!

I'm nuts about this product

Wow! These are the best nutcrackers I have ever used - look no further. They are solidly made and comfortable to use, capable of cracking the strongest of nuts. Slightly smaller than I expected, but just big enough for large wallnuts.

Fantastic nut cracker!! Easy to use, great for cracking nuts including walnuts. Love the handle grips

El mejor cascanueces que he tenido nunca. Tiene la ventaja de contar con una pieza superior que mantiene el cascanueces abierto, con lo que abrir una nuez es extremadamente sencillo. Llama la atención que es muy pequeño, perfecto para guardarlo en el cajón de utensilios sin ocupar mucho espacio. Creo que voy a comprar otro más para marisco.

Knackt sehr gut Wahlnüsse mit wenig Aufwand.
