Just ordered a box of coconuts for a friend, don't forget to order these tools to open those delicious coconuts!!! A lifesaver without any struggle, only if you know how to use it. I had to watch some tutorial guide on youtube.

It's really great; having a professional tool to open a coconut is so convenient. The freshly opened coconut has an incredibly rich aroma of coconut milk. I want to mention how to solve the problem of the coconut shell getting stuck in the tool: don't hammer it too deep. Leave some part of the shell still attached, and it won't get stuck. However, that hammer does have a really strong smell; it's left in the yard, and I haven't dared to bring it inside.
AnnyQi
Good, very practical. After all, coconuts are a staple in many kitchens.
