Harold Imports Reed's Rocket Nutcracker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I just received this item and it is not as pictured here. The pic shows 2 screws on one side holding the mechanism to the base (I assume there are 2 on the other), what I received has only one on each side. Item pictured shows all metal parts chomed, item delivered has lower metal parts coated, not chromed. Construction is flimsy, most parts are not machined but cast or stamped, rivets holding the pivot points together are loose and sloppy. This item may be fine for cracking a few soft-shelled nuts, but in my opinion will not hold up to anything harder than the thinnest shelled pecan. I will be returning this item.
To the sellers credit, shipping was amazingly quick, but I'm still out the $6.50 they charged.

Get cracking with Reed's Rocket Nutcracker, which offers a vintage design that cracks even the toughest nut with ease.

You'll be able to quickly go through bags of pecans, English walnuts, almonds, filberts, and Brazil nuts with the speed of a commercial nutcracker. It's accented by an attractive wooden base and handle grip. Made in the USA and built to last a lifetime.

Duke Company Pecan Nut Cracker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the last nut cracker you will ever need. It's even endorsed by her highness, Martha Stewart.
We annually recieve a big bag of black walnuts from friends who have a tree in their yard. They are very good eating, much better than store bought walnuts. However, shelling them is often more trouble than it's worth, as black walnuts are among the toughest nuts to crack.
Then we heard about this inexpensive device, so we picked one up, and it works very well. You'll be amazed, it will leave the whole meat intact a high percentage of the time. It adjusts to fit a wide range of nut sizes, and it allows for a great deal of leverage to be applied to the nut being cracked without being unwieldy.
The only downside I can see is that is will sometimes send shell fragments flying at high speeds and for long distances. I'd recommend either doing your shelling outside, or using it in the nice box it comes in which will contain most of the projectile shell fragments. You might even consider safety glasses. (EDIT: We ordered another one of these for said friends with said tree, and theirs did not come in the same type box. You might have to cut open a long side flap to use it like I suggested.)
Overall, if you're in the market for a nutcracker, you can't go wrong with this one.
