If only he knew. Right, Frank?


Too hard to learn. Too expensive. Too big.
I've heard them all, damn thing pretty much takes out the drudge work.

I don't know, the Norvise just strikes me as some sort of
Rube Golberg contraption. Yeah sure, you can have a pinball
hit the match that lights the candle that burns the string
that holds the weight above the walnut you want to crack.
Or you can just crack the damn thing with a nutcracker.

I suppose if you're a production tier it might have some
value but to a ten-twenty dozen a year guy like me I don't
see the need. YMMV
