Corn sheller drill attachment
Shell dried corn with the drill you already own.
This is a corn sheller head for a power drill. Clamp its steel shank in your drill's chuck, push a dried ear of corn into the open end, and the spinning steel teeth strip the kernels off the cob into your bucket.
It is made for corn that has dried hard on the cob: feed corn for chickens and livestock, popcorn, and seed corn you are saving for next season. It has no motor and no plug of its own; your corded or cordless drill does the work.
How it works
Chuck it, set it, feed it.
Tighten the steel shank in your drill chuck like a drill bit. Set the teeth to suit your ears, run the drill, and push a dried ear into the open end, holding it by the far end. The kernels fall away and the bare cob comes back out.
Start at a low speed and let the teeth do the work rather than forcing the ear in.
Adjustable teeth
Set it for fat ears or slim ones.
The teeth are steel bolts that pass through the wall of the sheller and point inward, with nuts on the outside. Loosen a nut, move its bolt in or out so the tips just meet the kernels on your ears, and tighten it again.
Move them in for slim ears such as popcorn, and out for thick ears of field corn. A small wrench makes the job quick.
What arrives
One corn sheller head.
Not included: the drill. The drill, gloves, bucket and corn in our photos are there to show the sheller in use.

Worth knowing before you buy
The honest small print.
- It is for dried corn. The kernels need to be dry and hard on the cob. For fresh sweet corn you are cooking tonight, a knife-style kernel cutter is the better tool.
- The drill is not included. You get the sheller head only; it runs on a drill you already have.
- It is a home and small-farm tool. It shells one ear at a time, which suits a few buckets of feed or a season's seed and popcorn, not a commercial harvest.
- Mind your hands. Wear work gloves, hold each ear by its far end, keep fingers out of the open end while the drill is running, and unplug or remove the battery before adjusting the teeth.
