The Goody Getter was originally built for the toughest nut in North America — the black walnut — but its lever-powered design makes it effective on a wide range of hard-shelled varieties.
If it fits in the cradle, this machine can crack it with clean, predictable pressure.
Grandpa’s Goody Getter comes from a family of inventors and outdoorsmen. The original cracker was built by Navy veteran Basil Bacon, an engineer, craftsman, and lifelong problem-solver in his small Ozark workshop.
Designed for the hardest nut in America, refined over decades, and trusted by families across the country.
A tool with history, heart, and serious capability.
