Pretty basic physics my friend. It's almost exactly like a torque wrench.
I have studied physics but this question never came up. Strange! Would you care to explain how it works? :)
In my tired state, I'd make a fool of myself, but here goes. You know that the longer a wrench is, the easier it is to turn a stubborn bolt or nut right? I imagine it works somewhat the same with a nut cracker, you need to use less pressure the farther away you are on the handle, but due to the design, more pressure is placed down on the nut.
Also, lol nuts.
Think I found something here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lever
Yeah, that's basically what I was going for.
