The coconut water was very sweet; I drank from two coconuts and neither spoiled. The only downside was that the coconuts were a bit old, not overly so. Anyone who likes sweet drinks should give it a try.

Works great! Try not to hammer the center but around the rim of the tool. If you hit the center, it nicks off the rubber mallet and also doesn’t work as well

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.
Z
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.
