    Clever tool. I looks like it will pop a coconut out due to it's design, but will inhale a wristwatch and an arm.

    Sheesh! Even an 8" tall bar to rest your forearms on would save a ton of fingers, wrists, arms, faces.

    But, then again, maybe that extra weight added to the shipment pays off.

    A simple hinged board to apply the same pressure as the operators hands would make this way safer.

    A simple hinged, curved pressure plate over the top would hold it and protect the Citizen...they bent the sheet metal for the sides...Duh!

    Further proof that not all homemade tools are good tools.

    honestly I see nothing rong with it, I do see a unfinished tool, that seems to work pretty good. kinda like the washing machines that we have in our houses that rip off arms if your stupid enough to reach inside to grab that garmit during the spin cycle,you know that garmut you dont want spinning around with the rest of the clothes....my new washer has a lockout, the lid wont even open.the one before it had a break but it took a few seconds and you could still get maimed if you wanted to.... this coconut machine may just need a few more generations(models) to come up to snuff. just look at the first autonomous bus that got smashed on it's first outing....by a old garbage truck backing out of a ally way... nothing is perfect...except for me....and possibly a few of you guys...just a few
    on a nother note this new washer at first sounded like a garbage truck backing up when it was washing the clothes...now after a month it has setteled in and now has taken on the sound of a printer printing slowly....nice and quiet,you can barely hear it.. but it is for sure printing something...what I don't know.kinda eerie...possibly a novel about machines gone rong.
