Amazon.com Review

Love nuts but can't take the pressure on your teeth? This nifty hand-turned grinder will soften up nuts of all kinds for you. Just fill the top half with the nuts of your choice, set the grind option to coarse or fine, and crank away. The soft santoprene handle works for both lefties and righties. As the handle turns, the chopped nuts fall into the bottom unit, which is marked in increments of 1/4 cup to 1-1/3 cups for use in recipes or for diet control.

The chopper features sharp stainless-steel blades that work on either soft nuts, like peanuts and walnuts, or hard ones, like almonds. The top and bottom units are made of clear durable ABS plastic so you can see the contents. A non-skid base prevents the chopper from jumping around during use, and when the nuts are all chopped, the parts disassemble for easy cleaning. --Ann Bieri

This review is from: Progressive International Heavy Duty Nut Chopper (Kitchen)

I have only used this nut chopper a few times, and only on walnuts which are fairly soft nuts. It has never been dropped. It is already cracked, chunks of the plastic are starting to fall away. It is only a matter of a few more sessions before it is useless.

I just got the nut chopper for Christmas. I was very happy to receive something that would help me with my baking needs. Unfortunately, the top broke off the base after two uses!

I had one but it broke chopping almonds -- hardly a metal busting food item. Worse, didn't notice it was broken until AFTER I mixed the chopped nuts into the ice cream I was making. There were bits of metal in my ice cream, so I couldn't serve it.
