In my book i found this it says late 18th century
brass pocket nut crackers both handles terminate in pipe
tampers its in book detector finds by Gordon Bailey
page 67 it looks to me that a nut crackers handle
is a completely different shape and looks a stronger design

i'll take the two pairs that i found over the club [rare] tonight and see if mark
lodwig can sort this out for us once and for all in my opinion they are too
brittle to be nutcrackers. If they are nutcrackers i will humbly apologise
but i dont think they are some how watch this space ?

As far as I am aware, these items are always described as nutcrackers, although maybe they also had other uses?
