Nutcracker METALTEX IT0125.06.00 metal, Width 45 mm, Height 160 mm

Metal nutcracker METALTEX IT0125.06.00 metal, Width 45 mm, Height 160 mm is a compact, single-piece kitchen tool designed to crack a variety of shelled nuts with controlled force. Made of metal, it provides rigid leverage and a consistent cracking width of 45 mm, while the 160 mm length gives a balance between grip comfort and mechanical advantage. The tool is suitable for home kitchens and small catering settings where efficient, predictable nut cracking is required without taking up much storage space.

Advantages

The metal construction ensures durable force transfer and long service life under normal domestic use. Its single-piece design minimizes moving parts, reducing maintenance and the risk of loosening joints. The 45 mm cracking width accommodates many common nut sizes and helps concentrate pressure to split shells cleanly, reducing shell fragments. The 160 mm overall height offers a stable handhold for controlled operation and easier handling during repeated use.

Suitable for

• Cracking walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds and similar medium-sized shelled nuts
• Home kitchens where compact, easy-to-store utensils are preferred
• Small catering or buffet preparations requiring quick, manual nut cracking

Key specifications

• Material: metal construction for rigid leverage and durability
• Cracking width: 45 mm suitable for medium-sized nuts
• Overall height/length: 160 mm providing balanced grip and mechanical advantage
• Design: single-piece tool with fixed jaw spacing for predictable operation
• Finish: metal surface designed for easy cleaning and low maintenance

How to use

Hold the nutcracker by the handle with one hand and place the nut in the jaw area aligned with the 45 mm gap. Apply steady pressure by squeezing the handles together until the shell cracks. Adjust grip position along the length to increase leverage or control based on nut size. After cracking, remove the shell fragments and collect the kernel. Clean the metal surface after use to remove any residue or oils.

Usage recommendations

For best results, choose a nut size that fits well within the 45 mm jaw to avoid excessive force or slippage. Use moderate, controlled pressure to limit shell fragmentation and reduce the risk of pinching. Wipe dry after washing and store in a dry place to prevent surface discoloration or corrosion over time.
