Black Walnut Nut Cracker - Proudly Built in Ozark Mountains

this machine is nuts

Met the inventor and his wife at Forrest Keeling Nursery. They had a booth that showcased their GGG machine. I knew I had to have one after trying it out. Works fantastic. I like supporting people like that. Nice that it was from my state of Missouri. Works great. Grandkids love it. Works equally well on my native MO pecans.

Black Walnut nut cracker

Love this nut cracker. Does a great job getting my English walnuts and Butter nuts cracked easily. Thank You

What a beast!

This thing is SERIOUS. And I love it. (An elderly friend's assessment: "That's quite a weapon.") Massive improvement over whacking them with a hammer, and you can really move pretty quickly through a decent quantity of nuts. All the instructions are telling you what you need to know (and need to heed) and I am pleasantly surprised to find that the business end does not pinch fingers readily. Even though I crack them dry, I find that the size of the pieces is pretty good -- it just takes a bit of practice, and I'm looking for broken pieces anyway for baking and porridge and such, so it's fine. The shears are necessary for black walnuts -- and very sharp and powerful, so take care and don't let your attention stray while you use them. Fingers well out of the way. I do appreciate the wooden pull, and, again, the inclusion of the shears. I was too impatient to bolt it down, btw, so I just put it on the floor on a baking tray and stood on those little flanges on the bottom. Worked fine and gives you a pretty good sense of the forces involved. Thank you again for this fine machine.

No equivalent

Bought this as a gift for my Brother in law. He has many large black walnut trees, and cracks and shells large amounts of nuts, theb roasts them in his special recipe, and gifts them during the holidays. He has used a bench top vise (which broke), hammers, sledgehammer, etc. All which are mediocre and all which take forever. Although expensive, I got this for him with the hopes it would do what it says it does. Well, it does. He said it is "awesome!" and does a great job with black walnuts. Has cut the time by a third and crushes them in a way that is much easier to get out the meat, with the tweezers which he said also work excellent. So thanks, as to my experience it's the only thing I found after a year of searching that comes close to a professional tool that won't break doing what it was designed to do. Buy it right, buy it once.

Nuts about Grandpas Goody Getter

Absolutely awesome. I watched my great uncle crack and clean black walnuts with a claw hammer and a piece of railroad iron. When he passed he left 20 gallon bags of clean walnuts. What a gift that was. I wish I had known about Grandpas Goody Getter the I would have surely bought him one. Any way I love this cracker, and think about my dear Uncle Leonard every time I use it. Thank you.

It crushes!

The tool works great! I fixed it to a wood plank and started cracking.It was quickly apparent that I need more directions on how to position the walnut for the best results. Lots of practice needed to extract the most nut meat. Looking for videos to help. Maybe a social media page to share advice?

AMAZING!!!

We finally were able to use the GGG nutcracker!!! Can’t even express how wonderful it is!! I never had the experience of cracking nuts growing up but my husband did every year with his parents. If it were up to him, there would be non of this taking place!!! He would rather just buy them ready to eat!! I think he had flashbacks from his childhood….hammer and pickin nightmares!! Anyway, we used the soaking method and the the GGG Nutcracker was put to work!!! If you want to call it work, I call it a fun way to get yummy nut meats to eat!! Another plus, they are practically free!! It took a little gas in the car to drive 10 minutes to pick up the nuts!! That’s it!! We love the GGG Nutcracker!! Another note here on the soaking method is that you avoid the unnecessary cracking of the bad nuts. The floaters removed leaves the nuts that have nutmeat inside. Some still could have some bad meat inside but it cuts down the work tremendously!! Thank you for this amazing product and for your outstanding friendly service!! PS the white shears are totally amazing as well!!

Love the nut cracker, we are still waiting on MN black walnuts to dry down so we get better halfs and cracks but it is an awsome machine! Also thanks to the amazing communication od parties as the holidays went!!! Happy Holidays new years from ours to urs!!!

Just Purchased

Bought for parents as gift. I specifically searched for USA made walnut cracker. Very happy to find it! I did get to look it over and we tried a pecan but they did not have any black walnuts ready to try. Tool seems well made and super easy to control to avoid crushing the meats.

Ordering process was simple. Was delivered fast ahead of scheduled time. Grandpa's goody getter works amazing. Game changer with black walnuts, never using a hammer again.

Good Cracker!

My overall experience was good. It is easy to use. However, in order to remove the nut after cracking, it is challenging to push the handle backwards to release the nut.

Take the spoiler label off the shipping box

Spoiled the surprise when I ordered this and it came with a big color picture and description of the contents. Dad still enjoys it and I can tell it is well made. Otherwise happy with the heavy duty nutcracker .

Amazing

I love this walnut cracker. I harvested over 200 pounds of black walnuts, and with this handy dandy too, I’m able to get every piece of meat out of any black walnut large or small. A great way to spend your afternoon.

Goodygetter gets the goodies

Very positive. Soaking the nuts for 24 hours makes a huge difference. Typically I can get four nice pieces out of every nut with very little work besides the cracking of the goodygetter. The little cutting tool is very handy,

Awesome

The product works flawlessly. My young daughter is also able to use it and enjoys it. I bought this for cracking black walnuts and it works perfectly and with very little effort. Thank you so much for a wonderful product!!!!!

Doesn't get better than this!

Makes cracking black walnuts easy. We have several trees in our yard and had saved dozens of nuts from last season. We are going through them alot quicker now that we are able to crack them without making a huge mess and scattering everywhere. Easy enough for our 8 year old to use. Perfect.

Nut cracker

My husband is very excited to try this method of cracking black walnuts. He spends hours in our barn cracking walnuts in a vise that is at end of his work bench. However, never seems to get big pieces. After watching your videos, I think he will have better success with your nut cracker and using the shears. He loves to give walnut nut meat as gifts. When we moved to our farm over fifty years ago, we planted walnut tress around the edge of our 75 acre farm. We are blessed with plenty of raw product. So excited to try this cracker.

Go nuts

Easy to operate, works as advertised great product

Works as advertised

The nutcracker worked well on hard black walnuts. There were no pieces flying around unlike my experience with another nutcracker that was recommended for black walnuts. I returned that machine and bought your product and I am glad I did.

Old lady tryle run.

From hammer and train rail. To Grandpa's goody getter This gift to my wife( The nut cracker) I think is a game changer So far so good.
