This was the first time I had ever used this black walnut cracker. I was shocked that it sprayed sharpenl everywhere! I later figured out how to crack them by cuping my hand around it, but I am still a little shell-shocked using it.
On the other hand it really made me appreciate how much easier the Drill Cracker really is to use!
A video to show how it doesn't work, when the adjustment was set up for smaller nuts than the black walnuts being cracked. Set it so it just cracks and doesn't crush the nut. A vise is easy to control the cracking.
