Trudeau Rotary Nut Cracker

Cheap Trudeau Rotary Nut Cracker Review

People with carpal tunnel syndrome, arthritis, or other conditions that limit hand strength or wrist flexibility should try this innovative nutcracker. It requires minimal effort, and the design is elegant and geeky / fascinating in a "better mousetrap" way.

But don't expect to unwrap this and start shelling nuts in quantity for a recipe. Figuring out the best placement for a nut is an interesting puzzle. The two sides of the central hub are optimized for different sized nuts. A walnut seems too big, but with a little experimentation, a walnut-sized compartment appears, in goes the nut, and crrrack! However, the previous reviewer may be correct about very small or very hard nuts (such as Brazil nuts); I have not tried them yet.

I'm buying these as stocking stuffers, and will keep mine close by that cornucopia of fruit and nuts, along with the traditional lobster-cracker style nutcracker, the turn-of-the-screw style nutcracker, Nutty Squirrel, etc.
