Does it work on hickory nuts

Sorry, Robert, I've only every tried it on pecans. I have no experience shelling hickory nuts so can only guess. Based on my understanding of the size, shape, and structure of a hickory nut, I think it should work. Wish a had some first hand experience.

I love this nut cracker! Works well with Brazil nuts, pecans, filberts, almonds and walnuts. I haven't used it on hickory nuts, but feel confident that it would work. This nut cracker is adjustable for various diameters of nuts. I would recommend using it inside a shallow box indoors or to use it outdoors. Enjoy!

Yes! It does work well, but sometimes it's a challenge getting them to stay put in the mechanism in order to crack. It's either because of the smoothness of the shell or just not quite fitting into the last grooves or both. Regardless, I have gone through bowls of hickory nuts using this cracker.

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.

Don't know. We have only used it with black walnut. I know it does not crush the meat of the walnut but think it would work on any nut with the right pressure. Yes the bar would move down.

yes it will. I've found that the more you plunge the top, the more the blades will rotate and the tinier the pieces. Just had an opportunity to use it for doing assorted nuts, and it did a fantastic job on them. Some of the nuts were those big white nuts, cashews,walnuts, pecans. Like I've mentioned, the less you plunge the top, the bigger the pieces. The more you plunge, the tinier or finer the pieces. Hope that helps.

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 believe it will pick up the stones with the nuts. It is a wonderful tool . When I first used it I accidentally picked up a magnolia tree burr and it wedged th splines open and my pecans fell out. I also found that twigs are not its friend. I actually am going to purchase the larger one for quicker gathering.

While this would work it's a little bit of overkill as it was designed for tougher nuts. This is how we do pecans and it works great, especially since you get complete halves most of the time. Hope this helpshttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGSR8t0bYRw

I have used it on pecans and hickory nuts. It works very well on them. We have used it on small and large as well as thick and thin shelled.love it..hasn't failed us yet

I have never used it on frozen nuts. However, it works well with walnuts, macadamia and others...unfrozen. I think hard, frozen things would dull the blades quickly.

I use mine for English walnuts which are 1.5 x 2 and it works great, makes the job picking up walnuts easy. You may want to use a smaller one for pecans. Ask the mfg what size they recommend for pecans.

Sorry it took so long to answer back. I've used only on carpenter ant and wasps!! It works great on those two.

Personally, we have only used it for black walnuts so I am not sure about the small nuts.

yes, it does work on carrots but not too well since it dice it too small or to big... I used on for carrots and other roots but I was not very satisfied

I have used it to mostly grind meat but it is very easy to clean and works well. I am sure it would work well with nuts.

No. It has two gaskets that keep it tight to the wheel but don't bite into it. So it can work on leather or wood.

We have had our nut wizard a few years and used it to pick up small pecans and large. We have four different type pecan trees and it works great for all of them.
