It's 2013, and nut's are everywhere here in New York State (no pun intended)! Hickory, Black Walnut. Free and delicious food for those willing to forage. We were using the standard hand vise type cracker and the Hickory nuts just don't stand up to the abuse.
This little guy is adjustable and cracks the nuts from end to end so you practically get the whole nutmeat out unharmed! I thought that was impossible until now. Saw one in Lehmann's Christmas catalog yesterday for $39.95, which is way too much $$ for the simple construction of this tool. Well built, I expect to see many years of use from this unit.

I know it seems ridiculous to get excited about an apple slicer, but I love this thing! The bottom part that helps push the last bit of the apple through is super helpful and I like that the slices are thinner than the last one we had. Would highly recommend.

Perfect nut cracker for pecans.  This nutcracker makes cracking pecans much easier than other nutcrackers
I have used.  I would definitely recommend this for anyone that shells pecans.

Grinds nuts into smaller pieces, (not powder).  We have also used it to grind graham crackers for making a graham cracker pie crust.  Easy to use, Easy to clean.  Top screws on securely.  Lid snaps on the top.  I don't think the teeth would handle anything tougher than nuts, but we got ours to chop nuts, not coffee beans.  It works.  I'm glad I found it.

I read most of the previous reviews prior to ordering, and I have used the nutcracker for a couple of days -- enough for an initial evaluation.

At this point, I've used in on almonds and fliberts/hazelnuts, and it has done a creditable job on both types. It's nearly perfect for hazelnuts, as the circumferential 'pinch' action cracks the shell and separates the nut from the shell pieces cleanly almost every time. Only occasionally will you have to remove the nut from a shell fragment. It's also worth noting that you can cover the both ends of the cracking chamber with your free hand, which greatly reduces the ejection of shell fragments. This makes for minimal cleanup afterwards.

It takes a little experimenting to determine the best positioning of almonds into the chamber, due to the shape of almond's shells. Once you've settled on what seems to work best for you, it also works well with almonds. The nut is completely separated from the shell by itself only part of the time, but it's normally very easy to remove it by hand, if cracked correctly. Sometimes, it takes pushing the partially-cracked almond shell a little deeper down into the cavity for a second crack, and that usually does the job.

The handles aren't quite as long as I expected, meaning that it may require more hand strength -- and possible device breakage -- if larger, harder nuts like walnuts or Brazil nuts are to be cracked. I'm giving it the benefit-of-the-doubt on durability, however, and hoping for the best. The handles measure about 5-1/2" from the end to the pinch point where the cavity closes on the nut.

I purchased this because I previously had a apple corer slicer but I wanted an apple peeler that did not slice thin slices of apple. I wanted to cut into chunks or dice. Works Great! I even let my 4 yr. old grandson, with my supervision use and he loved it, not too hard at all! Fun to let the kids help in the kitchen. Cleaning I just held under water to rinse the blade and spokes, I tried not to get the water all over it, then wiped dry with paper towel all over. Other reviews mention getting gunk out of the bottom plastic was difficult but I did not have that problem. Maybe if you were doing a large quantity of apples the juice could run down in the bottom. I was only doing a few.  Great product, came with extra blades and corer and slicer.

This is a fantastic blender!  I have used it to make smoothies. It crushes ice, frozen fruits, etc. like nothing I have ever seen.  The  enclosed recipe book is wonderful!  Simple to use and clean.  Shipped and arrived as expected.

I love this! Makes really thin slices of apples which is nice! I enjoy how easy it was to make the slices and it is fairly easy to clean!

Really loving this food mill! It's been very useful for crushing berries for jam-making. So far I've done blueberries, blackberries and strawberries in it with excellent results, using the largest screen. It's so much easier than mashing the berries with a potato masher! I will be using it all summer for canning as the tomatoes begin to ripen. One of my best gadget purchases to date!

I love this product! Open it up, drop in six cherries, pop it closed and remove six pitted cherries.  It works so easily and gets the job done so quickly. The only recommendation I have for it is to have the reservoir a bit deeper so that you don't have to stop as often to empty the pits. Also, if the reservoir is bigger, it would make it easier to open it to remove the pits.

I'm now in my second season of using this great little machine, and it has gotten us through about fifteen bushels of apples with great efficiency. I used a friend's slightly-less-robust model before purchasing this heavier one, and I'm glad I got this. It's a classic for a reason!

This works great for zucchini, squash and similar veggies. Not too well on apples, yams or harder ones.  I tried it with a fresh yam and it was too difficult even after cutting the yam up to fit inside - it kinda clogged it a bit.  A hand shredder is better for that I think.  Apples got mushed (I used Ambrosia and Envy) even tho they were crispy.  It does what I wanted and thus the high rating!

As far as construction - it's well made, light weight, and easy to clean and store. Although the finger guard areas could be filed down on the edges a bit more - kinda sharp there.

Overall - I love it!

This tool is well made and gets the job done.  It is nice that you can crack both small (hazel nuts) and larger (pecan/walnuts).  You have to use both hands to sometimes crack a stubborn shell, but overall...I would highly recommend.  Shipping was fast also!!!
