Gardenite Heavy Duty 13-Foot Fruit Picker Includes Basket Head & Light Weight Aluminum Telescoping Pole

I am very pleased with the Fruit Picker. It was well packed, arrived earlier than promised, and was exactly as described. The basket was already attached to the pole, so I did not have "attachment issues" as other product users have described.Straight from the box, I used the Fruit Picker to pick ~30 Gala apples from my tree. I found the pole to be easily extendable and sturdy (even when fully extended). The fruit was easy to pick and plopped softly into the cushioned basket. I had no problem reaching or grasping the fruit, but I had pruned the tree last winter and thinned the fruit spring.I have since picked another ~30 apples with no problems.I am very pleased with this product and am glad I no longer need to use a ladder.

I'm so thrilled with this thing. My pear trees are out-of-control massive and even if I were to teeter atop a ladder, which my clumsy ass is not going to do, I wouldn't be able to reach most of them. Instead in years past I've been stuck on the ground watching as birds and squirrels enjoy the literal fruits of my labor. Not this year! This thing came fully assembled and its HUGE when extended but collapses to fit easily in my garage (about the same height as a long shovel). Even with it fully extended it was light and I was able to easily manipulate it to grab the pears. The basket is big enough that you can grab a few fruits at a time for easier picking. I was able to grab some huge pears I would never have gotten otherwise. Take that, birds!

Used first time yesterday, so far it was great? I like how easy the twist of poles allowed for adjusting the length. My nine year old grandson was able to use this tool easily also! I wanted light weight..it feels well made...good job!

This thing is damn useful, it's long enough for me to touch the upper part of my avocado tree without using any ladder (My tree is around 25"). The material still make it a little too heavy, 2 pounds lighter should make it perfect.

This fruit picker is great. Lots better than my homemade broomstick with a bag wrapped around the coat hanger and duck taped to the end job. Packaging was damaged, but the picker wasn't. It's a sturdy little bugger, and can reach those high apples and apricots. A keeper!

Delivered in great condition. Used it to harvest some apples from high or hard to reach areas - worked great. Light weight and telescopes out for a long reach. Takes a little time to pull off each apple and bring it down into bushel basket. I put the basket a ways off to the side so that the length of the picker let me drop the apple gently into the bushel basket. Would probably work better as a 2-person operation to harvest a lot of apples.

Works well, telescoping mechanism is made of three sections that nest one inside the other. You can choose what length you want by pulling out the desired amount of pole. To lock or unlock the pole all you need do is to turn the section with a slight turn clockwise or counter clockwise.

The Gardenite fruit picker is serving me quite well harvesting my peaches this year. I love this thing.
