I use a 1/2 ton which is marginal, 1 ton would be better. If it was
hydraulic, I couldn't use it on my dining room table.

I crack black walnuts in my big-mutha bench vise. They are amazingly
tough; I'm amazed that the squirrels can chop through the shells.

Try picking a squirrel up sometime. HSS has nothing on their
chompers ;-)

My Dad use to whack them with a small hammer. Had a block of wood with
plastic skirt attached around the perimeter. Did this in the kitchen,
drove my Mom crazy. Glad I was away at work...
