All about Holt's Nut Wizards

Now that Labor Day has come and gone, we turn our thoughts to fall and all the joys it brings.  This is my favorite season because I love Halloween and pumpkins and all the fun that's to be had at this time of year.  Here at Southern Garden Tools, we shift our thoughts from pea shellers and corn creamers to cider press and grinders and nuts!  We have a thriving nut business and today, let's discuss our most popular nut products-- the Holt's Nut Wizard.

Now, if you've never seen one of these nut harvesting tools, let's take a look.

Holt's Nut Wizards-- the ultimate nut picker upper-- come in a variety of sizes and we will get to that.  But first, the basic components of a nut wizard is the football-shaped basket, the triangle-shaped bale and the wooden handle.  The basket is composed of flexible wires that are press-fitted into metal cores on each end.  These wires hold firm and do not break away from the ends as you roll over your nuts.  The bale simply holds the nut picker upper basket in its grip firmly and screws into the pole.  The handles vary in color from blue to yellow to wood depending on the size.

Let's get to sizes. We have nut wizards for all types of nuts/similar size objects including pin acorn, chinquapin, small acorns, pecans, hazel nuts, crab apples, bitternuts, large acorns, English walnuts, spent brass, shotgun shells, golf balls, black walnuts, sweet gumballs, apples, pears and even tennis balls!  Don't see your nut need listed?  Just contact us for expert advice. 

We hear from customers who say-- why can't I buy a Large Nut Wizard for pecans-- that way, I can pick up more?  Well, it doesn't quite work that way.  The nut rollers are designed specifically for the type of nut listed.  If you bought that Large Nut Wizard for pecans, you would find that they may become trapped in the basket for a very short period of time and then fall out because the wires are spaced too far apart to hold in that smaller nut.

There is another accessory that is available for these nut harvesters-- the "emptying tool" or the unloader or as we call them around here, the dumper.  The dumper tool costs just $4 when ordering alongside of a Holt's Nut Wizard and they assist in being able to empty the roller basket without touching the nuts (which can be very helpful for nuts like black walnuts-- which have a very icky substance on them!).  The dumper is easier to show how to use than explain.  Let's look.

The dumper has two "legs" that fit on to a five gallon bucket.  Your nut roller basket slides down on the protruding end of the dumper and the wires spread, allowing the collected nuts to dump into the bucket.  That simple!  A very handy accessory to the nut harvesters.

 Nut Wizards are really easy to use.  Check out this customer video!  You can also check out the instructions right here!

There are imposters... those weasels!  But Holt's is the original nut picker upper and is American-made-- simply built to last.  You can't say that about those other garden people.  

That's the conclusion of our what's what's with Holt's Nut Wizard Picker Uppers.  Feel free to comment or email us with any questions.  You can own your own nut rollers by shopping right here.  Oh-- and enjoy that free shipping! 

A Lesson on Bag-A-Nuts Nut Harvester/Picker Uppers

As soon as the school bells ring here in Alabama, we know this marks the early on-set of nut season.  What is nut season here at Southern Garden Tools?  That's when customers begin calling and emailing and ordering items from our full line of nut picker uppers and nut crackers.  We sell a wide variety of products to solve your nut needs.  Today, let's discuss one of our most popular products-- Bag-A-Nut Harvesters.

First, what is a Bag-A-Nut?  Bag-A-Nuts (or BagANuts or Bag A Nuts) are American-made nut rollers that come in a variety of wheel length and "magic finger" spacing to address the needs of families all the way up to businesses.  Bag-A-Nuts are quality made and backed by a full year warranty.

The first decision in purchasing a Bag-A-Nut is wheel width.  Bag-A-Nuts are available in:

  

Now that we have explored the different lengths of wheels, let's discuss the next most important decision in purchasing your Bag-A-Nut-- what model do you need to pick up the nuts in your yard?

Many people underestimate this decision but if you choose the wrong model, your nut harvester will not be effective.  Let's explore why.

This is a close-up picture of a model that picks up acorns or other nuts sizes 1/4" to 1".  The blue "magic fingers" that hold the nuts as they are picked up are spaced closely together to accommodate the small nut size.  If you were trying to pick up nuts that are two inches in size, the nuts would have a difficult time wedging between the fingers.

This is a black walnut picker upper.  As you can see, if you attempted to pick up acorns with this roller, the acorns would simply roll through the BagANut and back to the ground.  Picking the correct model is imperative!

Here is a list of the models to ensure you are choosing the perfect one for your particular nuts:

Now if you are simply overwhelmed by this chart, no worries!  This is simply to demonstrate the various models available to make sure that you see the variety available to fit your needs.

On our website, each wheel length and nut picking up model is detailed for your convenience.

We often find that customers have trouble deciding which model size to get.  We can help with that!  Unlike other retailers that just slap products up there with no knowledge of what they are selling, we pride ourselves in being experts on what we sell.  If you need have any questions or if you need advice on which model is best for your needs, just email us at hello@855sheller.com.  Please include a picture like this: 

And there you have it!  You have concluded Bag-A-Nut 101.  Stay tuned to this blog for more info on Bag A Nut, Holt's Nut Wizard, Pecan Crackers, Black Walnut Crackers and more!

Breaking News in the Pine Cone Clean-Up World

Perhaps "breaking news" in the pine cone world is a bit extreme for our new product release but if you've ever had to pick up pine cones, you know that this can be a serious matter.  Pine cones can be annoying and hurtful (maybe like some people you know)!  We've sold the Pine Cone Wizard by Holt's Nut Wizard for many years now and truly, it is a best seller for us!

However, it is designed to pick up large pine cones and well, not all pine cones are large!  Our recommendation for small pine cones has always been the Large Nut Wizard by Holt's Nut Wizard.  This model is perfect for black walnuts, sweet gum balls, magnolia seed heads, apple/pear and small fruits-- basically anything 1" to 4" in size.  It does a pretty decent job on small and skinny pine cones too but we have been asking Holt's Nut Wizard to address smaller pine cones-- and they delivered!  We now offer the Small Pine Cone Wizard.  Check it out.

The first picture shows the Small Pine Cone Wizard.  The length measures 15" (basket only- no end pieces).  The second picture shows a comparison between the Large Pine Cone Wizard and the Small Pine Cone Wizard.  Ready for your own pine cone harvester?  You can order them here.  Until next time, the pine cone picking up world is shookth.

Why You Should Buy Taylor; Why You Should Buy Us

It is time to address the proverbial elephant in the room when it comes to pea shellers.  We've noticed an increase in phone calls asking about a different type of Taylor Pea Sheller.  Ladies and Gentlemen-- there is but ONE Taylor Manufacturing and ONE Taylor Little Sheller.  And we are the #1 dealer of these.  If you've seen overseas companies marketing a pea sheller on a stand as a Taylor Pea Sheller... I'm sorry, but that's simply not an authentic Taylor.  So how can you know what's a REAL Taylor and what's not?  Well, that's easy!

Buy from a trusted dealer.  We are a trusted dealer here at 855Sheller.  We are the #1 dealer.  We travel weekly to the manufacturer's location and buy Taylor Little Shellers in bulk.  We carry a full line of parts for these shellers.  We train our staff extensively on Taylors.  We offer a full support experience with extended hours for your convenience.

You may be asking yourself, "OK- so I know how to identify authentic Taylor Pea Shellers but why shouldn't I try one of the other ones.  Here's why:

• They are not American-made.  Taylor Pea and Bean Shellers are proudly made in the USA with American labor.
• They generally ship FROM China and can take up to a month.  Will your peas and beans last a month?
• Damaged in shipping?  Doesn't work?  Just don't like it?  How will you return it?  How can you receive a refund from overseas?  How can you communicate with the seller if you do not speak their language?  
• Most, if not all, are 220V-- which means it is unlikely to be compatible with your home voltage.  
• They have very little customer reviews-- and those reviews that do exist are poor.  
• Does the inauthentic Taylor have adjustable rollers?  Safety features?  We don't know.  The product descriptions are short and explain very little.

We have heard from several customers who now have to RE-INVEST in a pea sheller after a disaster with the knock-off Taylor.

Buy an authentic Taylor Pea Sheller and buy from us.  We have Little Shellers IN STOCK and available for shipping today or tomorrow depending on when you place your order.  We ship via FedEx for super fast delivery.  Still on the fence?  No problem.  Call us!  Ask all the questions you may have!  We are hear to help you.  855-743-5537-- hope to hear from you soon!

Wonderful Nut Wizard News!

Customers have long requested a retractable handle for nut wizards but to date, we've only been able to offer them for our smallest models.  However, in order to offer our customers their most-requested features, we have found an American-made retractable handle that works great for all sizes of the nut harvesters.  Collapsing to just over 2 feet, this aluminum construction extends to four feet.  Rust-free with a bi-directional twist-lock system means it is perfect for the different heights in your family.  Make nut collecting a family affair!  To order your nut wizard with retractable handle (or a retractable handle if you already own a nut wizard), call Amy at 855-743-5537 or email amy@egarden.com!  Soon to be featured at 855Sheller.com!

Holt's Nut Wizard-- A wirey issue!

 

Holt's Nut Wizards are one of our most popular products.  We often receive calls from customers who want to replace just the basket of their nut picker uppers due to the wires becoming spaced incorrectly.  We wanted to share a helpful hint on how to correct this issue-- a real $$ saver!  Check out the above video and give it a try!  

A few facts about the Holt's Nut Wizards:

-- These nut harvesters are proudly manufactured in the United States.

-- The nut roller wires cannot be replaced as they are press-fitted to ensure durability.

-- The size of the Nut Wizard basket is NOT to determine how much you can pick up.  Instead, it determines WHAT you can pick up.  Check out the chart below and feel free to contact us with further questions!  We are here to offer expert advice.   

-- Nut Wizards are not just meant for nuts!  They can also pick up pistol and rifle brass, shotgun shells and wads, tennis and golf balls, sweet gum balls, small/medium fruit and more!

PoBoy Pea Sheller News!

PoBoy Pea Sheller Prototype

We interrupt this discussion on apple cider to bring you the latest news on the PoBoy Pea Sheller.  If you are in the dark about this, let's catch you up.  The PoBoy Pea Sheller is our newest manufacturing venture (check out our other manufacturing ventures here: Kinetic Kracker, Inertia Nutcracker, Dynamic Nutcracker, Steel Nutcracker II).  The PoBoy is a uniquely unoriginal concept.  This style of pea sheller-- compact and powered by a mixer-- was actually manufactured some 40 years ago under the name Lady Jo and Magic Fingers.  For reasons unknown, this style of pea sheller fell out of production but not because it wasn't well-loved!  We are bringing this pea sheller back to life in the same classic design but with improvements!

With the PoBoy Pea Sheller, users will enjoy:

-- The low price point!  Currently scheduled for sale at $65 with FREE shipping, it is impossible (we know; we tried!) to find anything NEAR this price range that has the capabilities that the PoBoy has (incidentally, there is only two others near this price point AT ALL-- we've tested both and we've been thoroughly disappointed with both).

-- Adjustable rollers!  You read that correctly!  This under-$100 pea sheller will have adjustable rollers that will accommodate your small varieties such as purple hull all the way up to your large varieties such as butter beans-- no smashing, no problems!

-- Fast shelling speeds!  The PoBoy will shell 4 5-gallon buckets in an hour!

-- Gripit and Ripit Technology-- other pea shellers apply undue pressure to the hull causing damaged peas.  The PoBoy Pea Sheller grips the hull and rips it down the seam sending peas in the container below.  No squished peas!

-- Safety features!  The rollers are shielded in every direction to prevent fingers, hair and clothing hang-ups. 

-- Compact-- Comes in a sturdy box that doubles as a storage container during non-use times. 

If you are amazed at all the features found in just one small pea sheller priced under $100-- well then, we reached our goal! 

Itching to get one now?  Hop on over to PoBoy Pea Sheller and fill out the form below.  We will be contacting customers very soon to place their order-- which will begin shipping October 1, 2017.  Great Christmas present!  Great gift for you! 

PoBoy Pea Sheller-- redefining what it means to shell peas and beans! 

A Pressing Matter, Part 1: Apple Facts

Today is hot enough to cook an egg in my car but that doesn't stop me from dreaming of fall-- leaves falling, sweaters on and fresh apple cider in the glass. Since that isn't quite yet a reality yet, I thought I would conjure up such thoughts by starting a series on Apple Cider and how to make it and the perfect equipment you need to accomplish this time-honored family tradition.

Apples are one of America's favorite fruits but did you know that the US is not the largest producer of apples?  The People's Republic of China is but US falls a close second.  US crop production continues to rise rise rise.  Nearly 300 million bushels are produced in the US every year.

What's a bushel?  Great question.  Bushels are an imperial dry measurement that typically weighs between 42 and 48 lbs.  Check this out:

There are over 2,500 varieties of apples grown in the US (and triple that worldwide) with the Red Delicious coming out as the most popular.  Check out these:

These are but a few varieties grown-- each with a distinct flavor!  Imagine all the flavors you can create in an apple cider!

Apples are a staple in millions of American homes-- thanks to the pilgrims who first planted apples in the Massachusetts Bay Colony.  Actually part of the rose family, pilgrims referred to apples as "winter banana" or "melt-in-your-mouths".

Apples are second only to oranges in American's most favored fruit.  And 20% of all apples grown are used to make apple cider.  In Part 2 of A Pressing Matter, we will explore how to make apple cider-- as it is easier than you think!

The 10th Good Thing About the Electric Mr. Pea Sheller

Call it strange, but I've always been obsessed with interesting book titles.  I'll see one and think-- whoa.  I wish I had written that title (maybe not the whole book but definitely the title!).  A handful of my favorite titles: The Things They Carried (by Tim O'Brien), The Fault In Our Stars (by John Green) and I Know this Much Is True (by Wally Lamb-- one of my favorite authors).  I guess this obsession started as a child when I came across The Tenth Good Thing About Barney (by Judith Viorst)-- a children's book about coping with the loss of a pet.  Isn't that title fantastic?!  If you are still with me and wondering about how any of this has to do with pea shellers, I am naming this list in honor of the latter most book-- The 10th Good Thing About the Electric Mr. Pea Sheller.

1. Affordable-- $295.  That's it.  No more, no less, no shipping, no tax.

2. Lightweight-- 15lbs.  No lugging it around on a cart.  Pick it up... and go.

3. Effective-- Snatches those pods and runs them through the rollers at a rate of 1.5-2 bushels per hour.

4. Spline Rollers-- Gear-type rollers pull pods effortlessly.

5. Easy-to-clean-- Wipe it down right after use and the pea sheller is as good as new!

6. Portable and Store-able-- 16" in length and 9" tall-- doesn't take up much space while shelling and stores easy in closets and other storage areas.

7. New and improved-- Manufactured since the 1940s, the Electric Mr. Pea Sheller was formerly made of wood.  Improved design is now aluminum with improved rollers.  Always a great product; now even better!

8. Makes a fast job of purple hull/black-eyed peas and other small varieties-- Made specifically for small varieties!

9. Allows families to keep the tradition of shelling without the hassle-- Many, many fond memories have been made amongst families as they shell peas.  Don't let this tradition go by the wayside as so many family activities have-- just update!  Automate the process while keeping this all in the family.

And the 10th Good Thing About the Electric Mr. Pea Sheller-- IN STOCK!  You have peas now and you need a pea sheller yesterday.  Ring us up today and we will have one headed your way right away.  Take it out of the box with no assembly and shell peas ASAP.

That 10th good thing is applicable NOW but possibly not in a few weeks.  Don't delay.  Call Amy or Kerry at 855-Sheller (743-5537).  Or check us out of 855Sheller.com.

Be Corny!

Let's get corny! Spring has sprung and the growing season has begun! Here at Southern Garden Tools, we are getting calls from customers ordering our EZ Creamer Corn System-- and easy corn cutter that utilizes a drill to remove corn kernels easily-- whole kernel and cream-style. So what a more fitting time than to discuss the types of corn and just how this delicious barbecue staple is beneficial to its devouring fans!



The varieties of corn is nearly unlimited but they can be categorized into six basic types. While sweet corn is what lands on our plates for its sweet, low starch taste, dent corn-- named for the dimple present on the kernel-- accounts for 99% of US corn production. Bland and starchy compared sweet corn, it is used for feeding livestock, making corn syrup, and producing industrial products. Popcorn kernels are another popular corn type-- popping up in theaters and homes everywhere.

Besides being delicious, corn has many healthy benefits. Packed with dietary fiber and protein, this power food also packs a mineral punch with 32% of our daily magnesium requirements. Consumption of this golden goodie has health benefits including boosting your immune system and increasing bone strengths. So chomp these niblets!

Hope you enjoyed our quick primer on corn. Head on over to EZ Cream Corn Cutting System
to check out our corn cutting system that has the drill doing all the work for you!

The Calm Before The Storm....

It's been a bit of a quiet week here at Southern Garden Tools but we know what this means.  A week or two of quiet before the phones start lighting up as people realize that nut season is approaching.. or arrived.  Nut season is very busy here and for good reason-- we literally stock some great nut products.  If you need a nut picked up, we have a solution for you.  We sell everything from $21.95 Griffith Pecan Gatherers (these are great for those who like to take a walk and collect pecans or go out by the backyard pecan tree with the kiddos) up to the heavy duty 36" double wheel, double basket Bag-A-Nut Nut Picker Uppers.  These hook up to your mower/ATV and roll behind you as you drive along comfortably.

These aren't just for pecans-- we have them for black walnuts, acorns, filberts/hazelnuts, almonds, chestnuts, English walnuts, hickory nuts, macadamias-- and even sweet gum balls (aren't they annoying), golf balls and pine cones!  They will run you about $750 and that includes shipping.  But truly-- you will make that money up in extra harvested nuts!  It picks up nuts you can't even see.  Trust me that we have plenty of products between the $21 and the $750.  Just check us out and let me know if you have any questions.

What good would it be to have a whole bunch of nuts but no way to crack them?  We have that too!  We have the basic hand crackers that you place a nut in and squeeze... all the way up to electric crackers.  If you've ever tried to crack a black walnut... then you know it can be next to impossible.  Not with our Drill cracker!  And have 10 tons of pecans but don't relish the thought of cracking them?  Our Kinetic Kracker can do 1,560 pecans per hour.  So those 10 tons... they don't look so laborious anymore.


We are nuts about nuts and this season is personally my favorite.  Fall is the best!  Pumpkins and nuts and leaves and cooler weather-- count me in!  So we can handle this calm before the storm.  But nut season draw near, my friends, and let us help you be ready for it! 

Our Condolences

Condolences are in order to the family of John Thomas-- maker of the Thomas Corn System.  Mr. Thomas passed away in late 2015.  His family has decided to continue manufacturing the Thomas Corn System as it was a passion of John's.  We recently received a small shipment for those looking for this popular corn cutting system.

Let's Get Crackin'

Are You Ready To Get Crackin'?

We ARE! 
Here at Southern Garden Tools, we eagerly await nut season every year! We are big fans of a little nutcracker aptly named 
Get Crackin'.

You can crack all nuts, big and small, with the Get Crackin'.  I tested out many different sizes of nuts here in the office. I had little acorns, pecans, and big walnuts. I didn't have a problem cracking any of them. I just placed the nut in the groove, pulled the lever down, and had a nicely cracked nut. I did have to practice a little bit to get the proper placement of my nut down, but it didn't take long before I was cracking away. I was even more thrilled when I realized that I didn't need any nutpicks either!  I could gently pull the shell off of my nut and enjoy yummy nutmeat. If any nuts decided to be pesky and give me a problem, I just gave another quick pass through my trusty Get Crackin'. The lever-fulcrum action allows precision pressure control which minimizes shell shatter and increases the larger amounts of nutmeat you can enjoy from your trees.

Something else that I really love about the Get Crackin'  is that even though it is lightweight, it is built strong. It is made from a light weight steel, so picking it up to carry or store won't strain you at all. Since Get Crackin' is made with steel, it will not break easily. You will never have to worry about a nut being too hard shelled or too big for your nutcracker.The Get Crackin' allows peace of mind that you won't ever have to stop in the middle of cracking your nuts because it broke. This is a nutcracker that you can pass down for generations to come. How wonderful that you can enjoy the Get Crackin' and as you show your children or grandchildren how to use it, you know that one day you can pass it down to them.

Speaking of future generations, I am so very pleased to say that you also don't have to worry about little fingers accidentally getting cracked in the Get Crackin'. As a Mother myself, I worry about things like that. My sweet little ones always want to help out when it is nut cracking time. They know if they can help, they can enjoy the fruits of their labor even faster. The same design that allows the Get Crackin' to protect those little nuts, like acorns and hazelnuts, from getting smashed also protects little fingers. That means so much to me and I know it will mean a lot to you as well. Now, you can share time with them and encourage healthy eating. That sounds like a total win to me!

Are you ready to have your very own Get Crackin' Black Walnut Cracker shipped right to your front door? Check us out at www.blackwalnutcracker.com or www.gardenharvesters.com  Don't let nut season sneak up on you!

How Do You Gather Your Nuts?

Nut Wizard

As the time draws near to start your nut gathering, do you start dreading the idea of bending over and stooping to gather all your yummy nuts? We here at Southern Garden Tools don't like that idea either! We like to help make things easier and more efficient for you. So today I will introduce you to your new best nut gathering friend. Meet the Nut Wizard! Now that introductions are out of the way, let's get down to business. Before I start telling you how much I love the Nut Wizard  and how many times my back has said thank you, here is a short video.

                            

Isn't that neat? It is so super simple to use. We have Nut Wizards available in a variety of sizes for a variety of nuts and even pine cones. Mini Nut Wizards are perfect for little beechnuts or even .22 and larger brass casings from fired gun rounds. Small  Nut Wizards are great for pecans, hickory nuts, acorns, and even crab apples. I use the Medium Nut Wizard to gobble up English walnuts, chestnuts and even golf balls or shotgun shells. The Large Nut Wizard is extremely versatile when it picks up black walnuts, apples, pears, or even tennis balls. We even offer a Pine Cone Wizard that can grab up all those pesky pine cones in mere minutes.

I love the design of the Nut Wizard. It features metal wires which spread to capture your nuts, fruits, casings, and balls. Once inside, they are trapped so they stay put until you are ready to empty the basket. Thanks to this metal wire design, when you are ready to empty, simply attach a nut dumper (included with the Nut Wizard) onto any 5 gallon bucket, place the wire basket on the dumper, and give a slight turn to the right. Everything will cascade right out into your bucket. Truthfully, I have also seen them attached to trash cans and other buckets. I even attached one to an old kitty litter bucket last week when I was showing my Mother-in-Law how it works. Now, what about your back? I know, I promised a thankful back. The Nut Wizard has a 4 foot handle! Stand comfortably while the rolling wire basket does all the hard work.

Now, If I may, I would like to quote a little Shakespeare, "Is A Nut Wizard By Any Other Name Just As Sweet?" Oh, that isn't correct is it? Well, you understand what I was trying to say and to answer that question, No, it just isn't. The Nut Wizard goes by many other names:nut picker, nut roller, nut picker-upper, basket nut tool, nut grabber, yard roller......you get the idea. In all of that, there is only one name to remember and that is the Nut Wizard.

Ready To Gather Nuts and Apples?

Hurry on over to 855Sheller.com. We have all the Nut Wizards you could ever want! Don't break your back this year when gathering time is here. Do you need help cracking your bounty? We can help you with that also. We offer the Master Cracker Black Walnut Cracker. Is it perfect for all size nuts and so is the Get Crackin' Hard Shell Cracker! One of our favorites is the Kinetic Kracker electric pecan cracker which makes easy work of pecan cracking. We have you covered for all your nut cracking needs.

Pecan Season is COMING! Are You Prepared?

Good Day!

 I would love to talk about a nut cracker that is going to make your life so much easier. Pecan season is really just around the corner. In the past, have you been cracking all of those pecans by hand? I did for a long time. Sometimes my hands would hurt so badly that I wondered if the effort was worth it.

 I like to make all sorts of candies, pies, and breads during Fall. Giving these things are such a thoughtful gift from the heart, especially knowing that you took the time to gather all of the ones that have fallen from your trees, crack and shell them and then put them into those goodies. I also love to put away and freeze my excess pecans for year round pecan treats. For such large quantities, had cracking is a drawn out and ,honestly, painful process. So, are you ready to hear about this great product we have available?

Let me introduce you to the Kinetic Kracker ELECTRIC pecan cracker.

 I got to try this sweet baby out a few days ago. The cracking and shelling time was drastically reduced while the nut cracker did all the hard work for me and best of all my hands didn't hurt at all. After I had my pecans cracked, I just easily peeled away the rest of the shell and gently pulled all the nut meat out. No tugging and fighting with it either! This Kinetic Kracker made that possible with nearly every pecan. I did come across just a few that were't cracked enough, so I just turned the Kinetic Kracker back on and gave them another go!

Did I mention that it was super easy to use? Plug into the wall, flip the on switch and start putting your pecans in the shoot one at a time. It does make a loud *POP* if you do not have a pecan in the shoot, but that is a helpful reminder not to run it without pecans in the shoot. You could wear down the aluminum cup if you do, but even that is a simple fix since we offer replacement aluminum cups. Here is a video of one of our employees demonstrating the Kinetic Kracker so you can see for yourself how easy it is to use.

The Kinetic Kracker is AMERICAN HANDMADE from sturdy materials. A wooden box encloses the 26 RPM motor. What does this mean for you? The ability to crack 1,560 pecans per HOUR! WOW! That is a lot. We also have a steel anvil and aluminum cup system that gives the electric pecan cracker the ability be precise in the amount of pressure applied. No smushed and pulverized pecans thanks to that great engineering.

When I was testing out our Kinetic Kracker, I commented on how I would love to use it for my walnuts and other hard shell nuts. Unfortunately, that is not something you want to do. The kinetic action and aftershock will pulverize your hard shell nuts.....no one wants that mess!
