nutcrackers
Hinged jaw tools
Nutcrackers are tools for cracking open hard-shelled nuts, typically hinged levers that apply pressure to the shell.
The word also refers to decorative wooden figures with large jaws that mimic this cracking action—a staple of Christmas decoration, immortalized in Tchaikovsky's ballet.
In British slang, nutcrackers can mean tight trousers that squeeze uncomfortably.
