Finally, a professional nut cracker made and priced for the average Consumer. These are made for those who want the end product. A cracked nut! and not all the time wasted on snap, pop, crack, one nut at a time kind of thing. This nut cracker will crack by the bucketload in no time flat. Have not timed it yet, but believe me, you'll be picking out the meats from the shells before you get tired of cracking them. NO JOKE!
Its very simple. Just pour your pecans, English walnuts (will not crack the hard-shelled walnuts or hickory-nuts) into the included basket and start cracking. It doesn't require much force on the handle, and it's a back-and-forth motion, not a crank all the way around. That's it, that simple. The cracked nuts fall from the bottom of unit into your bucket.
It's really easy to adjust for different-sized nuts. The adjuster on the front of the machine (easy to get to) will adjust from 1/4 inch nuts, way past the larger English walnut sizes. Just loosen the 7/16th inch nut on the adjuster (you will need a wrench to adjust the machine, not included) and move it in for smaller nuts (or more cracking pressure) or move it out for larger nuts (or less cracking pressure). If you find you want more cracking on the nut, move the adjuster in. If you find yourself getting too much cracking, then move the adjuster out. No hard case, just crack a few and check your cracked nuts.
If you have a lot of really small nuts mixed with large one's, no problem. Just set the machine for large ones, and most small ones will crack well also. If not, while you're picking out the meats, just throw the non-cracked ones in a pile and crack them on a new setting. Want take but a moment.
I've hand-made each machine, checking each one before they are shipped. They have been assembled and checked top to bottom for proper fit and years of service. It will be handed down from one generation to the next. Made to last.
Solid aluminum, and steel. The main cracking base is 1/4 inch solid aluminum, and the handles are 1/4 inch painted steel. The steel handles have rubber hand grips for easy, non-slip grip. The basket will hold the nuts without any strain at all. Will hold the weight of more than 2 house bricks (weight) without any problem (though your nuts want weigh a fraction of that).
The machine may be mounted on a 5 gallon bucket, or mounted on a bench. Also, maybe mounted to a board for clamping to a table with ease. Two 3/8th inch holes, 6-1/2 inches apart on hole centers, make for an easy mount. With the two handles, the machine is really stable without much mounting at all. With the bucket mount, you steady the machine with one hand and crack the nuts with the other. Want fall over, nor is it hard to keep the machine steady. Heavy made for stable use.
You'll receive the main cracker base with bearing and arbor, cracking plate with bearing, two handles with rubber grips, a basket with a bottom board. Everything you need to start cracking nuts. Only two bolts will be needed to mount to your bench or a small piece of plywood, or, less than 2 feet of 2-by-4 wood to make a bucket mount. Comes with intructions for adjusting as well as a template for drilling holes to mount. Also comes with ideas and plans for mounting on a bucket. Extra nice bucket mount plan for easy on and off.
These are shipped USPS Priority Mail, flat rate large box. You will need to assemble the unit. Very easy. Just a 7/16th inch wrench, a philips head screw driver and a pair of pliers are all you'll need to assemble the unit. The basket is shipped flat and will need to be bent to shape (pre-bent, yet you'll need to unbend and straighten a bit) and wired together with the wire included. Not hard, just will take you a few minutes to do, yet save more than half on shipping. Once together, you're ready to crack nuts.
What else can I say? This is the thing to have to get those nuts cracked. You'll have a machine everyone will want and need if they have nuts to crack.
Thanks for looking, and "Don't Forget to Bookmark for Later !"
Rick.
