If you have a whole coconut with the thick husk on the outside, a saw is the proper tool for first access. You saw around the husk until the husk separates from the hard shell coconut inside. Then remove the hard shell coconut. Next, you need an ice pick and a large mug. Three little eyes need puncturing with the ice pick and then you hold the coconut over the mug with the eyes facing down so the coconut water can drain into the mug. That you can drink. Finally, you need a hammer to shatter the hard coconut shell and then you peel the meat off the inside of the shell. It does involve some work, but I find it worthwhile.
