Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fruit Picker, FRUIT PICKER BASKET
Customer Review: Fruit & Branch Mangler
Summary: 1 Stars
This picker will get the fruit, but it usually gets some of the branch as well and sometimes rips off a whole branch. It pulls the fruit off. If the fruit does not come off easily, which my oranges usually don't, I have to pull hard. When the fruit finally comes loose, the back snap of the branch sometimes causes other oranges to fall to the ground and get bruised or broken. The wire hooks can damage the fruit unless you are very careful.
The wire basket can be difficult to thread through the branches. It is also difficult to grab a single fruit in a cluster.
Get the TwistePicker also available here on Amazon. It beats the wire basket hands down. Read the reviews there before you buy here. Here's the link:
Fruit Picker, the TwisterPicker
Customer Review: Does what it should
Summary: 5 Stars
Got this for BF, because he is supposed to be in charge of harvesting fruit trees - me the crops. It came in quickly, and exactly as described. The barrel (that holds the pole) is a little bigger than what we had, but with a few quick wraps of duct tape around the pole, fit perfectly. We didn't have problems with it tearing up branches - just used a little caution. Only problem we had was trying to get 2 or more pieces of fruit off at the same time, and some would fly down. User error - not the product. We used it on apples, and if you need something to reach the high ones - this should do the trick beautifully. If we had a bigger orchard - would buy another. But I think this will last us for years to come.Customer Review: apple picker
Summary: 1 Stars
The ad for this picker was very deceiving. It was right besdide a picture of it full length with handle which was $9.95 and this one, with the EXACT same description, was $3.57. It was quite a shock when it arrived with no handle; what the devil are you supposed to do with a picker that you want to pick HIGH UP fruit off of trees with, with no handle? Nowhere did I see "you'll have to provide your own handle for this one." It's false advertisement but I guess at the price you figure people won't do anything about it,not worth the effort, and you're right, who would take you to court for $3.57? So give yourself and the company that did this a big fat ZERO on this one.
Customer Review: Fruit Pickin'
Summary: 5 Stars
This is such a terrific old fashioned idea, that does not need to be redesigned! The item comes with a sponge (so ripe fruit will not get bruised when you pick it). Simply attach a broom handle to the end (it comes with an easy to screw - clamp), put up in the tree, and let the top prongs go around the top of the fruit. Give a slight tug, and the fruit drops into the sponge basket. You can pick two or three fruit at a time, before lowering it and emptying it. Simple idea that works great. I bought one for me, then turned around and bought one for my Mom for her lemon tree - this way she can pick a lemon without getting on a ladder, and one for adult daughter.Customer Review: Works in dense trees, with some adaptation.
Summary: 5 Stars
This picker can pick fruit from dense trees with some adjustments. It has seven prongs.
Take pliers and twist two adjoining prongs until they meet, and just slightly overlap to avoid tangles. Then twist another pair together, and then another pair.
In total, you will have three pairs, and one single prong. The twisted and joined pairs, do not tangle in the tree's branches as much, but can still pull the fruit off. And the single one works with them with little problems.
We have picked apples from very dense branches with this adjustment, and it has worked well.
