For those that have the "Robogrip" pliers, it's about time to wash em off and put them by the nut bowl. They are the best nut cracker I've found, walnut to filbert. Really the best use I've found for them.

You mean these work for something after all? Got these years ago and they just got shoved in the bottom of a toolbox. Third Party Image

jimg.allentown , you've really made me laugh !

Hazelnuts have always been called Hazelnuts here , but , a few years ago some sharp suited Ad man started marketing this ' New nut ' called a Filbert .
Same nut , twice the price , consumers really are a gullible lot .
Nut crackers have no against an Australian Macadamia . As kids we would smack them with a four pound hammer on an old Bluestone step at the back of the chook house . Sometimes they cracked and we would struggle to open up the stubborn shell , for the most though they'd rocket off into the Blackberries or end up mashed against the stone like our fingers !

I don't think your Robogrips would crack these unless you had hands like Superman.

I made this nut cracker that I bolt to my trailer frame. It works on hickory nuts just fine including the large size ones.

We live across a lake in Oregon from a large filbert orchard in the Wilamette Valley. Dad would by three large gunny sacks of nuts every year. We had a large, floored attic room and my brother and I would work on those nuts every year cracking for the family and eating our fair share of them. You brought back many memories of days gone by. We moved from N MN to Oregon in my freshman year of high school and we thought we had moved to the Promised Land!!

Speaking of nuts, in my house, growing up, there was always a bowl of mixed nuts on the coffee table during the holidays. As the nuts were taken, the last one left in the bowl was always the filberts. Seemed that nobody really wanted or liked the filberts. Fast forward to today, and the big ''new'' flavor is hazelnut. What is a hazelnut? A FILBERT!!!!!

Isn't it amazing what a change of name can do for a nut?
