ShellShucker Stone Crab Cracker for Seafood Lobster Claw King Crab Legs Deshelling Machine No Crab Fork Needed Professional Grade Aluminum Kitchen Chef Tool

Fantastic product. No mess and easy cracking of my stone crabs. Highly recommend

Spend more time eating and enjoying stone crab rather then cracking them and making a mess. This makes cracking crabs much easier. Super fast and less mess. Heavy and durable. Feels professional grade.

Overall it works great, it allows just as much pressure as you like, to gently crack crabs without smashing the meat, or producing shrapnel. I bought it for California spider crabs, which are murder, if you choose to use the legs (optional), they're like trying to crack beef bones for the marrow. But this thing makes breaking the legs easy. It also works great on rock crab claws. That's about it, obviously there's no need for something like this to crack Dungeness crabs. I have an fifty year old pair of pliers from a Subaru tool kit that perform that job perfectly. One slight gripe, they might have moved the pivot link forward an inch. There are some crab leg segments that are too small for the interior bar to crack, you have to move them to the short exterior side, where the leverage is poor, and pieces of shell go flying. Ed: I should have read more reviews, the solution is easy, stick the end of a wooden spatula in there when you need more height to crack a small leg. Duh. Okay, not nearly perfect, it is perfect.

I bought two of these for relatives, had to send one back as it was not needed. Difficult time getting hold of someone at Amazon to explain the refund and charge. Gave up, just waiting for my Prime statement now.

Bought this so I can crack the shells easier on stone crab claws……a lot easier to use this instead of cracking the shells with a mallet or butter knife

Excellent for stone crab

This is the BEST thing I have bought in a long time!!! Having been trapping Stone Crab in the Florida Keys for years and using a small hammer to crack claws, I can say this is the ultimate cracker. I read another review that it was hard to get a feel for but I found it simple to use the first claw. It requires very little pressure to crack the shell and there is very few small pieces of shell. LOVE IT!!!!

This made eating stone crab a whole new experience. This worked great. No more hammers and towels. A crack here, a crack there…..Done!
