Last year, we created a very lovely switch opener tool and we called it "Nutcracker"
It has really really aroused intense interest among enthusiasts from the community. After we finished production and shipped the product,
we also try to do many surveys to get feedback from buyers/users, we want:
1) To hear real feedback from the user AFTER they used this tool, about the user experience, about how they feel when they use it and etc.
2) Personal discussion about the Pros and Cons.
The final goal is to improve our product in the future.
And today is the date!
We are proud to announce that Nutcracker V2 here, made by TianYue Lab.
V2 has been designed after getting user feedbacks and has been given careful consideration to it.
Every aspect including ergonomics of the tool, not just the cosmetic or looks since it is a tool that has to be held in the user's hand for long periods of time during the usage.
("TianYue" in Chinese means add happiness, that is our initial expectations.)

The V1 that I got It's sometimes quite hard to take out the bottom piece of the switch, not sure if this a common issue but if so will this be countered in this newer version?

Looks indeed much better than V1 in my eyes!This was a part of our design tbh, but yup we heard from users and we fixed this problem. So no worry :)

Agree about the bottom of the switch being too difficult to remove. Ended up not using the v1 due to it. Hopefully this one does not have the same issue.yeah, the small notch has been already removed. The bottom housing won't be stuck anymore:) I will upload the testing video soon. then you will see how smooth it is now!

In terms of design, have you considered using magnets with a ring of hard plastic instead of the rubber gasket?

Does V1 work with holy pandas? I bought it from massdrop because I am going to lube some holy pandas.
It works but it's too tight. I had a hard time removing the swtich from the opener.

I am interested but I'm a little wary after my mx nutcracker v1 always required me to yank out the bottom housing regardless of switch type. Has that been fixed in v2?Yes, you can check the V2 testing video in IC OP.
