Title: Macadamia nuts! No way.
Product review: In doing a search for a macadamia nut cracker this one showed up. Macs are a notoriously hard nut to crack. This item seems like it should work however it is totally insufficient for the task. First there is not enough leverage. While I could crack the nuts with a lot of effort, my wife could not. Second the adjustment barrel sticks making adjustments for different sized nuts very difficult. Third about have the nuts are totally crushed because of the force it takes to crack the nut. Once it cracks there is no control. A longer handle may help, but not sure the rest of the cracker could stand the stress. It is poorly constructed, a lot of loose play in the handle, piston, and adjustment screw. If you are cracking something like walnuts or pecans, which are easier to crack, it might work. For macadamia nuts? NUTS!
