Can you crack the identity of this strange tool that’s making the internet go nuts?

Treasure hunting in grandparents’ homes often uncovers unusual objects, sparking curiosity. Recently, a photo of peculiar metal tools resembling small weapons—accompanied by a nut-shaped bowl—sparked online debate about their purpose. Suggestions ranged from cavity locators to their actual use: nut picks.

Nutcrackers, commonly used to crack open hard-shelled nuts, are tools with hinged arms that apply pressure to break the shell. Once cracked, nut picks come into play. These small, pointed tools are designed to extract the edible nut meat from the shell’s crevices without damaging it.

Nut picks and crackers come in various designs and materials, from simple metal tools to decorative or ergonomic options. They are versatile, used not only for nuts like walnuts and pecans but also for extracting meat from lobster and crab legs.

Online users reminisced about cracking nuts in the past, with some sharing unique uses for nut picks, such as olive handling, art projects, and even as toothpicks. One user humorously suggested they could help locate cavities. Whether for cracking nuts or sparking creativity, these tools hold both functional and nostalgic value.
