Review on 🌰 2021 Nutcracker Nut Tongs: Heavy Duty Pecan Cracker Opener Tool for Walnuts, Chestnuts, Pecans, Hazelnuts, Almonds & More - Kitchen Peeling Machine Best Service by Sabrina Moore

I have used a variety of pecan peelers over the years. This is the BEST device I have ever used! 1. It uses the principle of mechanical advantage (MA) to reduce the force required to crack a pecan nut with a cam mechanism: most peeling devices require more force.2. The lever arm (handle) is longer than traditional devices, which along with the increase in MA provided by the cam interaction with the vise jaws, contributes to the MA.3's overall increase. The steel jaws of the vise put pressure on the pecan, causing the pecan to break easily, making the "pulling" process much easier. (Most other machines crack pecans by applying pressure down the long axis (along, as we say in the South) of the pecans. "Long-path" machines require a lot more pressure to crack the pecans, but machines with a lot shorter handles make it almost impossible to crack some pecans. I've even tried making longer handles, with very limited success, to increase MA.4 Conventional devices break the shell, rather than just cracking the shell, by throwing out splinters of the pecan shell around the area 5. Many of the pecans therefore need to crack open pecans in a built-in tray and generally preclude their use indoors unless you like to find and sweep pecan shells to remove the remaining shell fragments, and mostly result whole pecans rather than chunks of or ehov pecan Bottom Line: Don't even consider other devices if you have more than one or have two pints of pecans. This device gets five stars, but more importantly, it gets five wows.
