These work well and provide great control of pressure.

I’ve heard and seen, on here as well as other places, using pliers or whatever to ‘crack’ the seed. It’s had varying degrees of success, depending on who and how they do it, I guess. lol But I’ve always just been hesitant about doing it. But hey, there’s always more than one to skin the cat, right? lol So what works for someone, and they feel comfortable doing it, I see no wrong!

It’s a Vernier Caliper. The thumb screw at the end increases the pressure so you can go nice and slow.

I agree, I would use this as a last resort when all other methods fail. The joy of the caliper is that you can increase the pressure using the thumb screw so very slow increase until it cracks. I think the control of this device makes it a good alternative and than you don’t squish the embryo.

BAHAHAA! I love your precision overkill!
I’ve used these before with the same thumb screw idea but it’s a bit more thuggish by comparison:

That’s the main thing! Although, I feel that any method a person uses to get them babies to come out is the main thing! lol Get that plant to growing!! Next we OVERGROW the WORLD, Pinky!!

You are correct, got the 2 mixed up. It’s a micrometer caliper 100% The Vernier Caliper is this one.

lol The only Micrometer I have is a jeweler’s mic. There’s absolutely zero power there! I use it to mic out the cabochons I make from different gemstones. lol Not about to try using that for this purpose!
@DougDawson … you’re not the only getting mixed up here! I meant the same for mine, lol It’s a Vernier caliper I use, not a micrometer!
Ok, Im putting this doobie down now…and leaving it alone…for a minute, at least!
