Coconut Opener for Fresh Green Young Coconut Water - Works With Peeled Thai Young White Coconuts - Open in Seconds Super Safe Easy and Fast

When I bought a real coconut years ago and took it home, I thought it was easy to open the coconut, but I realized it was not that easy when you don't have a technique or anything until I got this tool. First off, its kind of a misnomer because while yes, it does open the coconut to get the juice out, I don't think it can really open the coconut in order for you to eat the coconut inside. This tool is quite awesome though to get the juice out; there's also a video showing how to open a hole in the coconut shown on the packaging. I found that if it doesn't dig in so easily in one spot just move to another. I also found that if you kind of hit the top of the handle couple of times, not too hard but like an amateur volleyball serve overhand (not a pro volleyball jump spike serve), it digs in and then you can get the hole quite easily.

Easy to use.

This tool, hands down, is the easiest, quickest,and safest way to open fresh coconuts!!! We have coconuts growing in our property, and this tool makes it a cinch to enjoy! After allowing them to cool overnight in the fridge, use the tool to remove the top stem, easily insert the tool, make a loop, and remove the white husk. Insert a straw into the hole and drink to your heart's content. Feel free to add your favorite spirit to enhance the experience (we personally add coconut rum from the islands). Once your finished drinking, feel free to use a traditional machete to open the coconut. Make sure you are in a clear area, place the coconut on a hard surface, then slice one side of the coconut. Remove the machete, turn the coconut over, then slice again. Pick up the coconut and pull it apart. Have a spoon handy to scrape out any remaining coconut flesh. This tool is so amazing that I recently purchased one for a friend who was raised on a farm using traditional cutting tools to open this fruit. Now, he will not use anything else but this coconut opener!!! Buy it!!! Promise you will not be disappointed!!!

Bent after a couple uses, but still usable

This tool was perfect for accessing the coconut water inside the Thai young coconuts. (The white ones wrapped in cling wrap.) I used to aim the bottom corner of my large cleaver at a spot below the point on the upper part of the coconut and try to hit the spot accurately enough times to get a hole large enough for a straw. I always ended up hacking it over and over, missing THE spot. Scared the heck out of my husband if he was watching. Now, I follow the directions that were sent after I ordered the tool and I can pretty easily poke the tool into what I thought was the bottom of the coconut and hitting the correct soft spot, I easily get a hole large enough for my straw. This tool is good if you don't want to access the soft coconut meat inside. Very inexpensive tool and takes up so little space in the drawer. I'll be drinking a lot more coconut water from now on.

Nope, not good to open coconuts after a few days ....only if the coconut was recently picked.....after that it doesn't work

very nice and simple tool, very useful if you get fresh coconuts. We have a few coconut trees , it is very useful tool to get the fresh coconut water.

Super practico y fácil de usar
