Nøtteknekker »Sieger Nussprofi Deluxe«

Cracking walnuts used to be such a messy chore, but this one handles them cleanly without spraying shell bits everywhere. The grip is solid and the mechanism feels sturdy, so even harder pecans crack in one try.

Cracked through a whole bag of walnuts without any slipping thanks to the lever’s grip. The stainless steel jaws feel sturdy and the shell pieces actually come off in clean halves.

It does exactly what the name promises—cracking nuts cleanly without shells flying everywhere. I just wish the handle had a bit more grip when my hands are greasy from cooking, but for the price it's a solid kitchen helper.
