Wooden Nutcracker Mushroom - Nut Cracker Tool Crack Nuts Easy Screw Mechanism - Great Gift for Christmas and Kitchen Home Display Decoration.

Where has this been all my life!? Oh in Europe thats right 😭 So we have the old school metal clamp ones from like 50 years ago. They hurt your hands and shells fly all over the couch, the kids cant work them bc theres no electricity or coding involved so you end up having to crack them all with your borderline arthric hands- you know the ones. Good for crab legs and nothing more. So I came to the 'zon looking bc I figured there had to be something better by now. And as usual the Amazon God's came through and shined this adorable little mushroom from the European heavens down upon me #Blessed Honestly though, so freakin cute! I was amazed at how easily it cracks them AND holds all the shell in- no more mess all over the couch! Your feet will also thank you for no longer stepping on the invisible nut shrapnel. I posted some pix so you could feel the cute aesthetic vibes, size up the thing (I have tiny child sized hands) and throw some nuts in for reference. Hazelnuts are my jam and this thing seems made just for them. So easy to use- just pop in the nut, hold it so your palm covers the opening and turn until you hear the crunch. So easy even left handed people can use it! Oh and so can people with arthritis. So if y'all are looking for a grandparent win with little financial investment this is it. Although, I recommend buying them each their own so they don't fight over it. You know how old people are, it's like they aren't even the same people who taught us to SHARE. How many times did we hear that eh.. Anyway, love everything about it! Will definitely be giving these little fungal gems out to friends and family. They may cost (substantially) more than those old metal hand graters but the wood design makes them a life long treasure so there's a good return on investment here 😊

This is the best nutcracker I've ever seen. Its design is genius! No more flying shards of shell! Everything is contained inside the mushroom, especially of you cover the opening with one hand while you twist the top with the other. The twisting mechanism is so simple but so effective! Much easier to crack nuts this way than with the lever-based crackers. In fact, it's so easy that even my 3-year-old can do it! He can crack everything but hazelnuts. They just take a bit more muscle than he's got, but his 5-year-old sister can manage even hazelnuts with some effort. Both of them LOVE using the mushroom, and it has gotten them interested in eating nuts! Total win.

I've only cracked a few hazelnuts so far but it does work. I couldn't find any crackers that would actually crack hazelnuts until I found this one. I like the wooden structure of it and the mushroom shape. So far it cracked a few nuts without any trouble but I have 2 bags to crack yet so we will see how it holds up. Hopefully it will do the trick. All-in-all it is a very cute and actual working hazelnut cracker. It would make a wonderful gift for someone who likes novelties and likes to crack their own nuts. I only use it for hazelnuts but I am sure it would work for any nuts.

This is a great nutcracker! The design is perfect. You can cover the opening so shells are contained and not flying all over the place. Cute. Super easy to use. Just what I was looking for. Love it!

First one was damage but they sent another one the next day. standing down with 400 grit paper Because it was still rough used butcher block oil On it after and it really brought out the beauty in the wood. Works great love it

It works :). Not great if you need to crack a bushel of nuts at a time, but a wonderful tool if you just want to crack a couple handfuls at a time. Plus, you can’t beat the cute mushroom form. Awww!

I enjoy eating nuts from the shell but I've had trouble finding a perfect nutcracker. The old standby squeezers always worked well but often pinched, and couldn't contain flying bits of shell. I tried another type where you insert the nut and squeeze the lever and it worked reasonable well but was too small for walnuts and too big for almonds. When it finally broke after a couple of years, I decided to try this one. The design is simple and the nutcracker is attractive. You pop in the nut and turn the screw until the nut cracks. It's a little tricky to get it right since if you screw too far, the nut is crushed. It works great for walnuts and hazelnuts. It's easy to put one hand over the opening to prevent any bits of shell from escaping as you turn the screw, but like my last nutcracker, it's nearly impossible to get an almond without crushing it to bits. I keep wishing for an indentation on the bottom where the nut can be placed on it's side and won't slide away from the screw, or perhaps the screw itself could have a wedge cut out so it can crack almonds and Brazil nuts. All in all, It's a decent nutcracker but not for almonds.

Good quality product and good price

Thanks for the product and thanks to company

It is pretty cute and did its job for my Christmas nuts! Easy to use too.
