Medium Nut Wizard 14" for English Walnuts, Chestnuts, Golf Balls

I use this tool to pick up black walnuts. My expectations were low, but it really does work. The tool that hooks over the edge of a 5 gallon bucket make the process work quickly. I suggest that you buy the largest capacity to minimize the number of unloads.

Compared this to Garden Weasel competitor and this Nut Wizard is the better one...no plastic parts, sturdier construction, better footprint on ground for increased pickup, better at picking up on its own without having to push down, etc. It's slightly heavier, but requires less user effort and strain, so overall easier to use. This is built to last.

I live in North Carolina where the acorn drop is at a record high this year! I tried to rake them out of my lawn but it was destroying the grass. I tried to vacuum using my high-powered vacuum/blower but few would vacuum and I was concerned about damaging the mulching blades in my unit. My wife found the Nut Wizard using a search engine. I told her that I highly doubted it would work and, even if it did, it would still probably take a long time. I decided to check Amazon.com because the reviews are usually quite comprehensive, prices are good, and I have had very good luck with both Amazon and the 3rd-party merchants - either at least as good as expected or they make good on it. The unit arrived in great condition and assembly took only a minute. In a nutshell - I am extremely pleased with the nut wizard! It works as well as advertised and I cleared my yard (not too large) in just over an hour. The only issue that I had was that some of the acorns that had been a bit mashed-in by two mowings primarily to remove leaves did not pick up - but it did for the vast majority of even those! This is a very worthwhile device

I have two queen palm trees in my yard that are too tall for me to prune. They bear fruit about the size of acorns and drop it all over the ground. When I ordered this, my yard was orange colored from the fruit. It took about two minutes to get the fruits off of the sidewalk. It was easy and required very little pressure. A few of the fruits fell back out as more were coming in so I had to go over them twice. The remainder of the fruits had fallen on top of soft mulch. These were more difficult to get up because of the soft ground and the fact that the fruits were piled on top of each other. However, I was able to get most of the fruit up by applying pressure. Some of them were just too moist and just became flattened and mashed. I will go back to them and have confidence they will come up after a couple of days drying in the sun. The downside was that this didn't come with the dumper, and a full basket of fruit is heavy and sticky. It was messy getting the fruit out. I ordered the small dumper and when it arrived, it made emptying the basket easy. I highly recommend ordering the dumper at the same time if you're going to do a big job or use it to pick up fruits.

It picks up whole nuts but not if the nut has broken. It’s hard to get the nuts out. You have the spread the metal on the basket open to get them out. Wish there was a mechanism to open the basket. Also, the basket is not big enough.

Wonder tool! I can't say enough about this yard gadget. I ordered this for an elderly friend 80+ years old because she spent the better part of her day picking up gumballs out of her yard. Now she doesn't have to bend or stoop down to pick them up. The Nut Wizard allows her to stand up and roll over the gumballs while applying a little pressure as she rolls the wizard across the effected areas. I bought the medium wizard and it was the perfect size for gumballs in the Virginia area.

This is the greatest tool ever!! We have more acorns then you could possibly count. Buckets and Buckets and it goes on for months. We have an huge Oak tree in the front and one in the back yard. My husband is thrilled I found this ( thanks to a man I saw using it in his yard and told me to go to Amazon) he loves it and other people see it and they want it also. It has saved my husband hours of time and next year even more because he will have it as soon as they start to fall and not at the end like this year. If you have acorns or nuts or anything like this you will love the Nut Wizard. Carole Monaghan

This Nut Wizard is amazing! We have 24 mature Burr Oak Trees and their acorns are the size of Golf Balls! Bought my wife a $600 Craftsman lawn Vac that wouldn't pick them up! She would use shop vac and extension cords to clean them up as they would trip my elderly father! This basket pulls the acorns up out of leafs! The wire bail for a 5 gallon bucket makes it easy to empty and carry to the burn pile! Although not listed for smaller acrons it still picks up teh tiny Red Oak acirns!
