    I don't know, I've never seen macadamia. We do not grow such nuts.

    Macadamias are arguably the toughest nut to crack. In the USA, most macadamias come from the state of Hawaii.

    This video...



    says it takes 300 psi to crack one.

    This video...



    demonstrates a form of cracker.

    The trick is to manage to crack the extremely hard shell but not damage the spherical nut within.

    Considering the large pressure needed and the finesse needed to crack the shell and not damage the nut, can your cracker handle them?
