Hardshell Nutcracker

Designed to crack the toughest black walnuts, the Hardshell Nutcracker effortlessly cracks all types of hardshell nuts. The long handle provides more leverage, allowing anyone to crack nuts with minimal effort. The Nutcracker cracks the nut outward, leaving the nutmeat in large pieces. Because you control the amount of pressure applied this nutcracker is flexible enough to save the nutmeats on softer shelled nuts as well. A simple turn of the knob adjusts the nutcracker to the general size of the nutshell you are harvesting, from macademia nuts to pecans to black walnuts. Built to last, each nutcracker is assembled by hand of solid steel and plated to resist rust. Proudly made in the U.S.A.

Easy to use - Just place the nuts vertically between the holder and the adjustable screw and press down keeping fingers out of the way. This causes the shell to break outward leaving the nut meat in large pieces. If you encounter shattering, you are applying too much pressure. Try with less force or adjust the screw to add more space. This item works best on nuts that are not old or dry.

Mounting - Horizontal mounting: A piece of wood size 2 x 8 x 24 inches (not included) is recommended for convenience in operation and storage. Vertical mounting: A convenient wall stud or upright beam provides a more permanent installation of the Hardshell Nutcracker. The handle should be positioned at a comfortable level to apply downward pressure.
