Well, to crack nuts okay

++ Does what he should, crack nuts made easy and relatively safe
+ For better grip, there is rubber on both handles
+ Overall stable and confidence-inspiring design
- The surface of the nutcracker is chrome-plated and non-worked stainless steel
- Value for money rather moderate to poor

Conclusion: would not buy it again.

Note: Cancels the chrome coating in some places, this is the beginning of the piecemeal erosion of chrome plating. A stainless steel-made nutcracker would not have this problem, at worst, small dents or flaws were there. A coating I find not attached here from a technical perspective.
