Few Tips for using a nut splitter

Some experts of the game will also recommend putting a groove in place initially to get the ball rolling and make the splitting process cooler. This is an intelligent move as the groove weakens the constancy of the nut, allowing the chisel to penetrate more easily, which can be problematic if you attempt to do so without a pre-made incision. It is exactly the same principle as if the nut itself is the Death Star, the groove is the porthole and all you have got to do is lock-on and use the force!
