Does this cracker work on Walnuts? Is it large enough to handle them?

Yes, it does! My dad uses it solely for walnuts and even my 4 year old uses it without help. :)

I use this on my English walnuts and it works very well. I tried it on black walnuts but it took too much time so tossed the black walnuts..

I have loads of hickories but you would have to place the nuts clear back at the point of impact. In essence, the nuts may be too small for this cracker.

It will pick up acorns but it may hurt the impeller chopping them eventually. The metal impeller is much stronger than the plastic one in my older model that I replaced with this model so it may not be bothered by the nuts.

I have only cracked pecans with it - looks like a walnut would be the largest size.

This machine is made specially for walnuts. It is not suitable for harder nuts

Yes. I used it for picking up small and large pecans from the yard. it works well by either rolling over the ground or by gently dropping it on the nut to pick it up.

I have a few, but plan on planting them this Spring. Still, from the way this thing works with Black walnuts, I'd say you're not likely to have any trouble at all with Hickory nuts, so long as you don't have any very small ones, that is.

I haven't tried, but I think it would only work on larger nuts like walnuts, almonds, etc.

We have no idea, but it does crack Pecans with ease. You might go on a Macadamia Nuts site and talk to someone. Sure wish we could have help you. Good luck.. Joy

It picks them up, but not as well as it picks up larger nuts. The flexible wires are almost too far apart for small nuts like acorns although I have picked some up a few times. Generally I rake acorns and pick them up with a shovel.

Yes, the nut wizard works very well picking up filberts(hazelnuts) so I think it should work with hickory nuts, but not shell parts.

It is small but I think you would need the bigger one for onions. It would do half a handful of nuts. I only use it for garlic and herbs.

Crushing small nuts like pistachios is not likely to be efficient use of this nut cracker. Meant for bigger ones.

We bought ours to crack black walnuts, and we draped a sheet of plastic wrap over it to keep the shells from flying. It works really well .

We haven't tried it for Macadamia nuts but it works very well with black walnuts.

I haven't tried acorns; but, it is amazing for picking up pecans. It picks up very few sticks, leaves and hulls. I bet the small one would work just as well with the acorns.
