A friend showed me this great little tool for picking up black walnuts and I couldn't be happier. I had been picking up walnuts off the lawn by hand. Very labor intensive. With this picker it makes short work of this job. All you have to do is roll it across an area and you've got a basket full. I also bought the wire that fits on top of a 5 gallon bucket making emptying the basket even easier. Now if I could figure out where to put this years huge crop I would be really happy.

I was skeptical when I watched videos on-line of this product; but I couldn't believe how good this thing works. The biggest advantage of using this product instead of raking is that the basket only picks up the nuts, not the leaves or small twigs that raking does. It really does what it says it does! Be aware that you want to get at those nuts ASAP after they drop. Once they start turning black the Wizard isn't quite as effective, although still better then raking. So why only 3 stars? The rake picks up the nuts great, but what do you do with them? The "dumper" that was included in my purchase was as ineffective as the rake was effective. When mounted on a bucket, the basket fits over the dumper and when the basket is turned the tines separate and the nuts fall out .... not! The weight of the rake with the basket full of nuts makes it nearly impossible to let the dumper work. I wound up just using my hands to spread the tines which was messy and more time consuming. I think I''ll work on designing a better way to get the nuts out of the basket. So, Rake = 5 stars out of 5; Dumper 1 star out of 5)Read full review

This rake is so convenient. You just roll it along and it collects the nuts, then you just pull the wire apart to dump them and go again. No more bending over. I bought this after most of my black walnuts had been on the ground and lost their outer shell. I think it would work most efficiently if you picked up the walnuts just after they hit the ground or before the outer shell comes off. I'm looking forward to using it next season, but was impressed with what it did on my first couple tries.

Fantastic tool for gathering nuts and apples, rolls so easy anyone can use it! Be sure to get the dumper wire for your bucket (some sellers include it with your tool). Best thing since sliced bread!!!

This Walnut roller rake is super awesome. We have two mature walnut trees in the back yard and for 30 years we have bribed our children to picking up walnuts, raked on to a tarp and pulled them in to the street, raked and put in to buckets, you can imagine the aching backs we have had. Then my Husband got me this walnut roller rake and BOOM I am picking up all the fallen walnuts in the back yard in an hours time. I Love it, and wish we would have gotten it years ago. It take some experimenting to get the dumper to work, but it didnt take long
