Or perhaps I should say... impro-vice.

It works surprisingly well.

Perhaps for next year I'll design, 3D print, and cast a new nutcracker. Something with longer arms so that I can get a bit more leverage, and something with a bit of a cup to hold the nuts in place.

I just use my Iberian nutcracker in cases like this.

We got a whole box of pecans from my dad's cousin a few weeks ago, and we've been using the vise grips to shell them for pie. Quick, easy and perfect halves almost every time.

I've heard Formula 1 drivers have neck muscles like that. All that lateral G force.

I bought my wife a c-clamp specifically for use in the kitchen, on nuts and the rare lobster claw. Nutcrackers (a) suck (b) are hard to control and (c) make her hands hurt...

We got one with the 'quick-adjust' button, which makes it easier to size it for various nuts.
