Dad thinks it’s a nut cracker of some sort but those cutters are knife sharp. There is no markings on it. The cutters are replaceable as you can see

Definitely a nut sheller / cracker.

Hmm, it looks like overkill for a nut. Maybe a walnut but I don’t think the jaws would open wide enough

I do not understand why some of you folks waste money on the fancy smancy nut crackers. I use the man's nut cracker like God intended.

 

[Glock 'em down]

Just put two nuts in one hand (insert Beavis & Butthead laughter here) and cover it with your other hand, and squeeze. Them nuts will crack!

I bought one of these. The Mrs and I did a few hundred paper shells a couple days ago

I put these out next to the bowl/bag ....then you're on your own.

Thats how my 7 y/o adopted daughter does it she just learned about pecans this year and she will pick up any that she sees and start cracking and eating them. Took her to the farm the other day so she could learn where they came from and what it took to hunt and pick them up she filled all her pockets full and i had to make her quit since the only other thing to put them in was my pockets.

I’ve got mine ready to go, but the pecans haven’t really started to drop yet around here. It’s going to be a good harvest here shortly.

I absolutely CANNOT crack open even an egg doing that much less any nuts (insert Post 12 joke here). I have been trying for most of my 65 years. Who has NO grip strength?? This kid!
