Durable Metal Nut Cracker for Chestnuts Pecans Hazelnuts

Exact measurements: 18.5 cm (length) × 4.5 cm (width) × 2.0 cm (height); total mass approx. 125 g. Construction: load-path metal (jaw, lever arms, pivot pin) + structural plastic (handle shells, cradle base). No springs, batteries or replaceable parts. Cracking action relies on calibrated mechanical advantage — the 18.5 cm lever length provides sufficient torque to fracture shells without excessive hand effort. Jaw profile matches the curvature of chestnut shells and flat faces of pecan halves, ensuring uniform pressure distribution. Developed for real UK kitchen conditions: tested on standard Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose chestnuts, Aldi pecans and Morrisons hazelnuts. Works equally well on dry-roasted, raw or vacuum-packed stock — no pre-soaking or heating required for basic function.
