A powerful lever is swiveled at one end to a vertical column supported on a base or container. An anvil adjustably mounted upon the column, forms an abutment cooperating with the lever for cracking of nuts. An enclosure is mounted upon the lever for adjustment therealong to a position enclosing the nut while being cracked, and directs shell fragments downwardly into a receptacle for convenient disposal.
