Nut Cracker Attachment Made for Small, Hard-to-Crack Varieties

When you’re working with lighter-shelled nuts, the standard ram can sometimes apply more pressure than you need. This nut cracker attachment is shaped and sized specifically for small nut varieties, giving you better precision and fewer shattered pieces. It’s perfect for:

• Almonds

• Hazelnuts

• Acorns

• Shagbark hickory

• Any smaller nut that needs controlled pressure

Pair it with the Black Walnut Nut Cracker for full-season versatility across nut types.

Ram for Nuts — Easy to Swap, Built for Daily Use

We designed this ram for nuts so you can switch between the small and standard rams quickly. Just remove the lower ram pin, slide out the large ram, and slot in the small one. No tools needed, no wrestling with parts.

It’s crafted from durable steel, sized for tighter surfaces, and shaped to give you clean breaks while protecting your nutmeats.

You’ll be ready to handle big batches without fatigue or frustration.

How to Exchange the Rams (Simple 30-Second Swap)

Swapping from the large ram to the small nut ram is quick and intuitive:

1. Lower the upper ram until it’s near engagement.

2. Pull the lower ram pin.

3. Slide the large ram out.

4. Insert the small nut ram.

5. Reinsert the pin securely.

6. Test the motion once before cracking.
