What is this multi tool? (lemmy.world)

It’s approximately 1” x 1.5” (2cm x 3cm). It came with…:

Tap for spoiler

a bag of macadamia nuts still in their shell. The shells were pre-cracked and the tapered point is used to slip in the crack and twisted to open the the shell the rest of the way

…but I don’t believe it was purpose built for that use and leaves the little hook with the bent tab unexplained and unused.

It is absolutely made for macadamia nuts.

I agree that the notch is purposeful. I can only assume that it’s just a means of getting leverage for stubborn shells.

A lot of these have those holes too. I’m assuming people hang them up?
