| Has anybody ever tried one of these? 
I'm thinking about ordering one on-line unless I can find one locally.

I've seen similar ones in restaurants and have been tinkering in the garage trying to build one. Without a welder to work with I decided to look for something already on the market

| You stand the oyster on edge and with the lever drive the "tooth" into the seam - I watched two guys at a New Orleans oyster bar open up several bags real fast. One "pops" the oyster with this tool, the other with a regular oyster knife finishes the job, cutting the muscle. I tried it and you quicky learn not to crush too hard or you shatter the shell and get bits into the meat. For opening up a lot, especially ilregular, or cluster oysters they work well.

I watched Mark open a couple dozen at the air show party. He was opening them faster than three poeple could eat them. He made it look easy.
WOW!!!!! WHAT A RIDE.

Dammit man, Looks at all that weld spatter! My dad built a couple in the past but they got shuffled around to different family members. I need to build us a new one.

 Luck is where preparation meets opportunity.

the weld spatter is on purpose, it helps keep the oyster from slipping.

| I have one just like the second one shown, had it for years, found out its only needed when you have the large oysters from Tx or La. Key is a good glove, and a good oyster knife with Applach oysters.
