Not anymore! The Retro Nutcracker is made from chromed steel and can crack even the toughest nut! Simply push down the lever until the nut breaks apart. Walnut, hazelnut, almond or pecan nut –there is no escape from this nutcracker.The nut holder is adjustable to fit any nut. Put the nut into the holder and push down the lever towards the device. A bolt pushes into the nut until the shell splits apart.The Retro Nutcracker also makes for a great present. The distinctive retro design will delight anyone who appreciates the unusual. And who would not like to receive something uniquely different?Delivery includes: Retro NutcrackerDimensions: 32.0 cm (L) x 5.0 cm (W) x 26.5 cm (H), Weight: 714 grams Review: Cracking unit - It looks like something out of a metalworking workshop...but is works pretty well, the only nuts causing real problems were almonds. Two main problems: first, the fragments of shell go everywhere - truly - and you spend a lot of time sweeping the floor (some sort of clear plastic cover might help); and, second, the standard of manufacture is not of the best - the end of one of the rivets holding the lever mechanism in place is already working loose and it won't be long before it fails (and will be difficult to replace). Having said that, it does attack walnuts, pecans, Brazils and cob-nuts quite well (but watch out for the shrapnel). Review: Sweet nuts! - I brought this for my parents for Christmas, because they're unable to use the more conventional pincer ones due to health reasons. It certainly caused a surprise, because of how it looks, but then also for how it operates. Once the handle is screwed in, and you make the adjustments depending on the nut you want to crack, it's a breeze. Even with the smaller nuts, all you have to do is reverse the the screw bolt (opposite end to the handle side) so that the smaller ones like hazelnuts, can be cracked. It's very easy to use, and really shows no mercy when in use. I saw the comment about bits of nuts being up noses and that didn't happen, probably because you don't need to use that much force! Yes it's messy but then, isn't every nutcracker? 5 stars for this, and I'd certainly recommend it to others. ## Features - The nutcracker with a unique retro-style design - Cracks nuts of all kinds with little effort - Nut holder is adjustable to accommodate different nut sizes - Device made from steel (matt chrome look), base made from wood ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B006XIKC06 | | Brand | GreatGadgets | | Customer Reviews | 3.4 3.4 out of 5 stars (101) | | Date First Available | 14 Jan. 2012 | | Item Weight | 714 g | | Material | Chrome | | Model Number | 1619 | | Product Dimensions | 20 x 5 x 26.5 cm; 714 g | | Special Features | Adjustable | ## Images ![1619 Retro Nutcracker - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/713QsSoUT5L.jpg) ![1619 Retro Nutcracker - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31Yi6aHWXqL.jpg) ![1619 Retro Nutcracker - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31bH2ZD5-JL.jpg) ![1619 Retro Nutcracker - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/419YZEukuWL.jpg) ![1619 Retro Nutcracker - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/4190NsdvcJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐ Cracking unit *by M***N on 11 February 2014* It looks like something out of a metalworking workshop...but is works pretty well, the only nuts causing real problems were almonds. Two main problems: first, the fragments of shell go everywhere - truly - and you spend a lot of time sweeping the floor (some sort of clear plastic cover might help); and, second, the standard of manufacture is not of the best - the end of one of the rivets holding the lever mechanism in place is already working loose and it won't be long before it fails (and will be difficult to replace). Having said that, it does attack walnuts, pecans, Brazils and cob-nuts quite well (but watch out for the shrapnel). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sweet nuts! *by G***E on 26 December 2013* I brought this for my parents for Christmas, because they're unable to use the more conventional pincer ones due to health reasons.

The handle unscrews so that it fits back in to the box, which is good for storage. The only down side is that although the adjustable barrels enables you to crack different size nuts, it does not go down to a small size. I bought it to crack hazelnuts from my tree and they are too small. It does work if I put two nuts in at a time! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/50395471-1619-retro-nutcracker](https://www.desertcart.be/products/50395471-1619-retro-nutcracker) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
