Coconut Opener Tools with Hammer Super Safe & Easy to Open Young Coconuts, Food Grade Stainless Steel Opener, Rubber Mallet with Handle by KINGLEV

We open coconuts all the time with a dull machete and its been spooky. I got this in hopes of more efficiency and safety. You do have to get pretty close to the shell, otherwise the husk prevents you from popping it open. But I like that when you are close enough and able to tap the shell open, we have a lot less water spillage then when hacking it with a machete. The edge has stayed sharp so far through numerous coconuts, there has been no issues with the white mallet at all, it is well made with no strong smell, and you do have to be able to put a litle muscle into tapping through a layer of husk and shell. I swear I was supposed to also receive a small anti-slip mat but didn't receive it. We like this item.

So far I've opened about 30 young Thai coconuts with this and it works perfectly! There is a small learning curve and even though the instructions are short, they are accurate and helpful if you follow it. From what I've experienced, the coconut should be shaved down to the shell so you're not cutting through the husk. If you hit one side and cut into the shell, then hit a little bit down on the other side - it's enough to open the coconut by pressing the handle down (see the instructions, it'll make sense.) You can easily open it in 3-4 well-placed hits. The blade hasn't dulled that much and it's probably easily sharpened with the right type of sharpener. There are a lot of similar coconut openers. I got this one because it was one of the most affordable and I wasn't planning on using it long-term. Glad I did! It did not come with a mat, but I already have some of the flat ones so I didn't mind.

It’s alright if you are not able to use a big knife like a real Rasta but the knife/machete works way better.

This set is fantastic! Durable, sharp and pretty easy to use. If you are like me and tried multiple methods to open your coconuts- buy this! It's a game changer!

I tried to use my knife cut coconut.it doesn’t works well. This one worked very good

This is one of the most useful kitchen items I have purchased in a long time. The stainless steel tool seems sturdy and is easy to clean. I buy a lot of young coconuts and this tool makes quick work of opening them. It sure beats my screwdriver & hammer technique. Just a few pounds of the mallet, a pull, and viola.... sweet nectar of the gods.

Opened 1 coconut … better off using a rock

This makes opening a young, fresh coconut so easy. What used to take me about 10-15 minutes to get a coconut open without this tool, now takes about 30 seconds. I can't recommend this enough. It's a great tool. It's so easy to use. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
