The Storm Hath Arrived...

Checking back in with the readership here.. I do apologize for the delay in posting.  We have been busy busy busy here at Southern Garden Tools. Our phone rings a lot with questions this time... and we encourage phone calls!  If you have a question-- don't hesitate to call us!  We want to provide you with information that can aid you in making the best decision for ordering!  To help provide additional information... I thought I would address some of our most common questions here.  But always, do not hesitate to ring us and ask away!  That's what we are here for-- expert advice!

1-- Which Nut Wizard do I need?

That one is easy.  Check out this chart and see where your nut falls.  If you are still undecided, let us know and we can help you determine.  Keep in mind that the large Nut Wizard has a handle that is different than the other four models.  So you can use the same handle on, say, the mini and medium.  But you can't use the same handle for the small and large.  We sell a retractable handle that is usable for the mini and ex-small.

Pin) »Beechnuts »Brass Casings (9 mm and up)	3/8" to 1" »Chinquapi (a.k.a. Pin) »Beechnuts »Brass Casings (.22 and up)

2-- What is the purpose of the "dumper" or "unloader" for the Nut Wizard?

The double "arms of the Nut Wizard dumper fits onto a 5 gallon bucket.  Once affixed, place the Nut Wizard basket on the dumper so that the dumper is extended into the basket of the Nut Wizard.  Lightly twist the handle so that the dumper opens the wires of the basket.  This should allow the nuts to dump into the bucket.  See the below picture for a demonstration.

3-- Which is your best nutcracker?

What a loaded question!  Truly, we only sell quality nutcrackers so rest assured in your purchase.  To decide which nutcracker is best for you is to know your needs.  We have price points starting at $19.95 and range up to nearly $5000.  Ask yourself: is this for home use or for business?  What is my budget?  What nuts am I primarily trying to crack?  Will I ever need to use this cracker for other nuts?  If so, what type?

If you are seeking a cracker for pecans, check out Duke Nutcracker, Get Crackin', Steel Nutcracker II, Inertia Rubberband Cracker, Dynamic Electric Cracker, Kinetic Electric Pecan Cracker or one of our industrial crackers made by Pearce Brothers.  We have them in capacities of 35lbs, 50lbs, 100lbs, or 200lbs.  We also carry a pecan cleaner.

Keep in mind that our farm crackers do more than just pecans.  They also are great for peanuts, almonds, hazelnuts and English walnuts.
