Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Reed's Rocket Nutcracker
Customer Review: Great little nut cracker
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this nut cracker to crack pecans, what a great design. It is adjustable for those smaller or larger nuts. It takes a little getting used to but overall it is a great little nutcracker. Would buy again!Customer Review: Harold Imports Reed's Rocket Nutcracker
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed in this nutcracker. I had small hazelnuts to crack, and the handle bent out of shape right away, probably because the barrel didn't adjust to a small enough size to get the force necessary to crack them. It just didn't seem to be constructed out of quality materials.Customer Review: Item not as pictured
Summary: 2 Stars
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.
Customer Review: Just in time for pecan season!
Summary: 5 Stars
We have several pecan trees and cracking the nuts is tedious. I actually had a large bag of whole pecans, in their shells, still in my freezer from two years ago! Before, I was using hand held nut crackers, which do not keep a grip on the slippery pecan shell, and are very slow going. I usually resorted to an old fashioned hammer to shell my pecans!
The Harold Imports Reed's Rocket Nutcracker is pretty nifty. It's sturdily made and really does crack that nut open! You do have to use a bit of force - so be careful that your finger isn't in the slot, or you'll definitely hurt yourself with this gadget.
It's faster than any other variety of nutcracking devices I have ever seen; effortless and easy. It is messy, so I am going to start shelling some pecans outside to avoid the hassle of cleaning up afterwards.
Overall, a good investment and a good motivator. Hopefully this years crop of pecans won't end up in the freezer for two years!
Customer Review: Meet Expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
This device met my expectations; very easy to use and appropriate for the job of nut cracking. My kid of 9 years old is being use it as well without any trouble. Great device. Thanks!
