"Finger Saving" Nut Holder
"It works on any kind of nut but is ideal for cracking black walnuts and hickory nuts, which have very hard shells," says Perry.
The nut holder consists of a 1 -in. dia., -in. long section of schedule 40 pvc pipe that's screwed to a 3-in. long wooden handle. The pipe is used to contain the nut and has a slit in it that allows the pipe to expand.
To crack a nut you hold onto the handle with one hand and use your other hand to hit the nut with a hammer. The smashed nut stays inside the nut holder until you can transfer it to another container.
