"An infomercial for the amazing seafood cracker"
Have you ever sat down to a large platter of crab claws and discovered that you couldn't break the shells to get to the juicy crabmeat waiting below?

- You tried using your teeth, but the resulting Dentist's bill doubled your overdraft position at the bank.

- You pounded on them with your claw hammer, and you're still finding bits of crab in strange places (like your ear and the dining room curtains)

- You used pliers, and now your vice grip won't even look at you anymore

- Wooden mallet? See above

- Large rock? Ditto

Well look no more, because this handy gadget makes cracking stubborn crab claws a snap (literally). Between crab seasons, this wonderful tool switches effortlessly from crab to nuts, for all your walnut and small nut needs, and is especially good at Christmas time when you're raiding the horn of plenty.

Clean-up is easy, and you'll find that there's no crab claw (or nut) that's too tough to crack.

"good for small nuts"
The wide handles make it easy to crack small nuts without hurting your hands. It does not work very well for large nuts since you tend to increase the pressure and when the shell cracks you mash it to a pulp.

For large nuts I suggest the Zyliss model. Having both of these you will be more than a match for any nut.
