H & K COMPANY 701 Pecan Picker Upper, 1, Brown/A

This thing is great. It looks kind of like they took a heavy duty Slinky that had thick round coils (instead of flat ones), curved it into the shape of a big "C", and put a handle on it. To use it, just position the bottom part of the "C" so the metal coils are parallel with the pecan, and push down. The coils spread out, and the nut goes up in between them. Even if the nuts are partially obscured by grass and leaves, it still picks them up. Moreover, as an unexpected bonus: if the hull / "outer wrapper" of the pecan has not totally come off already, the picker upper will often shuck those parts off, in the process of capturing the nut! It does a fantastic job of picking up pecans of all sizes (my two trees produce shorter fat pecans and longer thinner ones; it gets both types with no trouble at all). It can pick up at least 2-3 dozen pecans before having to be emptied. When it does start to get full, just turn it sideways over the bucket or other container you are using, and the nuts will dump right out into it. The only regret I have is that I should have bought this tool at the very start of the pecan season, instead of the tail end of it. (I didn't know if the 75 year old trees in the back yard of the house we bought would still produce nuts or not; 55 pounds later I figured out that they did, and belatedly ordered this picker upper!)

we have 3 pecan trees in the yard. my wife loves them. do not have to bin over to pick up pecan at 60 helps a lot. works good

Pecans. Picks up twice the amount as the wooden stick kind. Steel handle. Very durable

Husband liked how easy it was to use for picking up pecans no bending

Coolest thing I’ve ever bought works great couldn’t find anywhere else

This little gadget makes picking up pecans so much easier!

Great packing fast shipping

I purchased this pecan picker for a friend to help her deal with the walnuts from a tree that this year produced 99 gallons of unshelled nuts. When I learned she had picked up off the ground every one of them by hand, I knew I had to get her this picker that can pick up about a quart of nuts between empties, all while standing erect. I great back saver as I learned after purchasing my own from a farm store in Georgetown, Texas. I got it for picking up pecans, the trees in the public parks having produced a bumper crop.It works really well with both walnuts and pecans and I don't doubt it would work equally well for hazelnuts. Haven't tried it on any others, but urge you to try one if you have nuts to pick off the ground.
