Union Rustic Madrid Metal Nutcracker

The item came promptly but I was very disappointed it. It was heavy and well sculptured but as a tool for cracking nuts, it was useless. It was bought as a present for a friend and I had to apologise. It might crack walnuts, but was absolutely no good for cracking hazel nuts, which was the intention, as she had been having visits from a squirrel in her garden, and I bought it as a joke. Her husband had a try and he is a big, strong man, but still couldn't succeed in cracking the nuts open.
