ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an adjustable cracking device for cracking nuts of a wide variety of sizes. The device comprises first and second elongate rigid members, each including an elongate handle portion and having a curved serrated gripping surface adjacent one end thereof. The elongate rigid members are pivotally connected together adjacent the gripping surface sections thereof for movement toward and away from one another. In one embodiment of the invention, the elongate members are pivotally connected by an adjustable fulcrum formed integrally by the elongate members. In a second embodiment of the invention the first elongate member is pivotally mounted to a central coupling member for movement toward and away from the second elongate member. The second elongate member has an additional serrated gripping surface on its side opposite the first gripping surface. The second elongate member is mounted to the coupling member for rotational movement between a first position in which one of its gripping surfaces faces the gripping surface on the first elongate member and a second position in which the other surface faces the gripping surface on the first elongate member.
