Sorry to disagree, but I am quite positive that the thing Iggy shows is
NOT the nutcracker - for one, an elderly friend of mine has one lying
around, and it's been lying around since long before 2004 - this item has
some other application and whatever it is, no one has identified it yet -
if I had to guess, I'd say it's for pressing bearings into something,
possibly a U joint, but I'm not sure either

I spoke too soon!

Can you post a picture of your friends item?

I could get a picture this weekend, but really, there is no reason - the
item is EXACTLY the item Iggy pictured - exactly - the only difference is
that it hasn't been cleaned up. It is definately a production item, not an
HSM item
