NutGun: Tabletop nutcracker
Annotation
NutGun is the result of efforts to create a nutcracker that can effectively crack any amount of nuts without straining the carpal muscles and causing unnecessary mess.
The nutcracker consists of three basic components: a square tube, a metal swivel lid, and a bowl. The tool also includes an insert for smaller nuts and a U-shaped metal plate that acts as a stop for the lid and provides stability during cracking.
To crack nuts, simply place them in the square tube and press down on the tube to crack the shell. The cracked nut will then fall down. Meanwhile, the rib welded to the bottom of the lid catches and prepares the next nut for cracking.
NutGun meets three basic requirements:
- cracks any amount of nuts
- does not create a mess
- can be stored like a box
