Abstract
A tool for producing compression, advantageously usable as a nutcracker, has two straight leg members hinged together at one end and mutually opposed jaw sections on the legs adjacent the hinge and a grasping portion remote from the hinge. The location of the hinge point is adjustable to accommodate the tool to workpieces, such as nuts, of different sizes and thereby adjust the force exerted on the workpiece when the leg members are squeezed together.
