Nut cracker

A torsion leverage nut cracker which comprises four elongated nut cracking rod members positioned between upper and lower end plates while the upper end plate has a centrally located nut aperture and a plurality of widely spaced apertures for mounting an end of each elongated rod member and the lower end plate comprises a plurality of apertures closely placed in said central portion for attaching another end of said elongated rod members wherein the rod members are spaced apart on the end plates forming a conical area between said rod members, the four elongated nut cracking rod members are further constructed of a hardwood wherein said hard wood is selected from a group consisting of maple, oak, hickory, and walnut, the upper and lower end plates further comprising ergonomically designed contours positioned around a perimeter of each end pale which Include a plurality of valleys providing gripping areas which receive a user's fingers and which provide a gripping means for a user to grip said end plates repetitively and in comfort, said ergonomically designed end plates further comprise, a means for directing rotational forces of said end plates about a center axis of said end plates so that the rotational forces can be equally distributed to said elongated rod members thereby preventing torsional forces from being applied in a concentric manner, and a nut cracker securing means attached to a bottom surface of the lower end plate which further comprises a fractional material applied to a bottom surface of the lower end plate, so that when the nut cracker is placed in an upright position with the upper end plate up and lower end plate down and the frictional material on the lower end plate bottom surface contacts a work surface and further when a user applies a downward force simultaneously with a rotational force on the upper end plate for purposes of cracking a nut, the frictional material holds the nut cracker lower end plate securely so that the nut cracker may be operated with one hand.
