Save your time and your fingers by using a hand cranked pea sheller. The Pea Sheller Jr. can shell a bushel of black-eyed beans, peas, and purple hulls in less than 30 minutes. Using a rolling system, each pod fed into this handy tool is squeezed to pop out its contents into a bowl placed below the trough. The nylon gears, rollers and metal framework is easy to clean and can also be connected to a hand mixer or a lightweight electric drill for faster production. This sheller is designed to be temporarily mounted onto the edge of a table or countertop. NOTE: This small unit is designed with cowpeas in mind and will not work well with larger diameter or very thin pod-skinned bean types. Tough nylon gears and aluminized steel body. No-slip, non-adjustable serrated plastic rollers. 4 x 8 x 8 inches. Clamps to surfaces from 3/4 inch to 1-3/4 inches thick. 2 lb. USA made
