Inertia Cracker

The Fun Pecan Cracker

Bring back the joy of cracking pecans with the Inertia Cracker, a rubber band-powered pecan nutcracker that’s as fun as it is effective. Originally popular in the 1970s and 80s, this unique nut cracker design has been a family favorite for generations. It’s perfect for making memories with kids, teaching a hands-on science lesson, or simply enjoying a bowl of fresh, perfectly cracked pecans.

Built to Last with American Craftsmanship

The Inertia Pecan Cracker is made from solid red oak wood, known for its strength and durability. Unlike cheap nutcrackers that split or break, this high-quality design is backed by a 2-year warranty. The rubber band-powered hammer delivers a quick, precise strike that cracks the shell without crushing the pecan meat inside. That means you’ll enjoy beautiful pecan halves instead of messy, broken pieces.

Fast, Easy, and Efficient

Crack up to 30 pecans per minute and save money by shelling your own fresh nuts instead of buying expensive store-bought packages. The Inertia Cracker works especially well on soft-shelled pecans, giving you consistent, clean results every time.

How It Works – 5 Easy Steps

1. Place pecan in the holder


2. Slide the cover over the nut


3. Pull back the hammer


4. Release to crack the shell


5. Enjoy fresh, delicious pecan halves!

It’s more than a nutcracker — it’s an experience.
