How to use

To use the FACKELMANN nutshell tongs, place the nut securely within the designated gripping area of the tool. Hold the handles firmly and apply steady, even pressure by squeezing them together until the shell cracks. Once the shell is broken, release the pressure and remove the nut meat. It is recommended to apply pressure gradually to avoid crushing the nut kernel inside.

• Ensure the tool is stored in a dry place to maintain the stainless steel finish

Usage recommendations

For the best results, place the nut in the center of the tongs to ensure even distribution of force. After use, wash the tongs with mild detergent and dry them thoroughly to preserve the stainless steel surface.
