Tools and Hardware Reviews of Duke Company Pecan Nut Cracker
Customer Review: Does not do much better than a regular cheap nut cracker
Summary: 1 Stars
I thought this would be a good product as we have so many pecans to
crack. I was very disappointed with this product it did no better than
a cheap one you put the nut in an squeeze. I feel I wasted my money and
will not order anything without seeing it first and trying it.
Customer Review: Duke 010 Nut Cracker
Summary: 3 Stars
The product works great. I shelled around 50 pecans in less than 30 minutes. I am NOT happy about the shipping process. They sent the item using UPS. UPS is famous for knocking at the door and running...leaving the package at the doorstep! The nut cracker was packed in a non-protective plastic bag. The nut cracker box was damaged and not in the best of shape. I was going to give it as a gift, but because of the packing decided not to. This company is cheap when it comes to shipping items. If this is any indication of how they send other items, I would be leering about buying from them again!Customer Review: Duke Company Pecan Nut Cracker

Summary: 5 Stars
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.
