Cut short but not very functional

It was a gift and looks adorable. It doesn't have to be a good nutcracker. It barely cracks nuts and feels like it might break if you do. Worth its price as a decorative and fun item.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • No instructions

Conversation Bit and Nut Well

I wanted this FOREVER and when I got the gift card I finally broke down and bought it. I love it very much and it's great to be a fall decor item and also my real nutcracker.

Pros
  • Free for Education
Cons
  • High Price

Perfect for a kitsch kitchen

This adorable nutcracker is made entirely of metal and would look great in my kitchen. It's only really good for cracking walnuts as the mouth opening is quite large. It's durable, shiny and perfect for display.

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Little things

Not for Real Nut Cracking

I would call it a decoration not a nut cracker. The force required to split the nut is greater than the force holding the squirrel's left and right halves together. Poor little psycho is breaking down. He could work with soft-shelled nuts like peanuts, but not walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • disappears

Seam Tears - Kitchen Utensils and Gadgets

Many nuts and their parts tend to get stuck in the upper jaws. Also, there is a risk of crushing as the seam along the top of the squirrel's head opens slightly and then closes on the flesh of your hand as you hold the head to balance the squirrel. It hurts and I basically just left the squirrel on the shelf and use old crackers. Not worth the hassle or the money.

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • No Paint Required

You're crazy if you buy this!

The Nutcracker is very cute. I couldn't resist getting it. Was very excited when he showed up. My 5 year old daughter loves nuts and I was excited to show her how to crack them with a nutcracker. However, this nutcracker does not work. It doesn't have the power to crack every nut I've tried. I have an assortment. Whenever I squeezed the cock it seemed like it was almost ready to split in half. Unfortunately I bought this over the holidays and was too busy to write a review or return it. So I'mโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellently done
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something

Pretty useless but nice topic of conversation.

Bought this for my Gma for her birthday hoping it would make her laugh when she opens it and also be easier on her arthritic hands than a standard nutcracker. Well she laughed when she opened it and again when she saw the name (Davy Crackit) but as a Nutcracker he's utterly useless. It won't crack a tough nut like a Brazil nut, just so you know. We managed to get him to crack some walnuts, but with difficulty. You really have to push so hard that when you cracked the nut you broke the nut intoโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Good Stuff
Cons
  • Angry

CAREFUL! THIS ITEM CAN CAUSE DAMAGE!

CAUTION! THIS ITEM CAN CAUSE DAMAGE! I have two birds and I ordered this nutcracker so I can crack fresh nuts for them. It was cute and seemed perfect as my birds love looking out the window and watching the wild squirrels in our garden. At first he seemed better. It weighs several ounces and is a good sized nutcracker. The problem with this nutcracker was discovered when we used it to crack nuts. No, I'm not joking. My mother was the one who used it for the first time. Luckily she is alwaysโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Good, but not great
