By covering the opening, the shells do not fly wildly around the room. Also suitable for children and seniors: due to the force exerted by the wooden screw, nuts can be cracked without much effort. Another great advantage of our nutcracker is that even with inattention, no fingers or skin are pinched.\u003cbr\u003eThe nutcrackers are made from local beech wood and then oiled. Due to the high-quality oiling, this nutcracker can also be used as a decoration. Beech, as a hardwood, is particularly durable and well suited for kitchen and household items. If the thread becomes difficult to turn or squeaks, you can simply apply a drop of sunflower oil to it.\u003cbr\u003eEven the youngest among us can, thanks to the larger head and ergonomic shape, easily crack nuts or use the nutcracker to craft animals from chestnuts. The front opening, approx. 4 cm in size, allows you to clamp chestnuts to drill a hole in them.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eOur tip: Place the most stubborn nuts in the freezer for an hour or in water overnight before cracking.
