Kollectaball CS40 40 Ball Collector Mini | Ball Picker Upper for Tennis, Pickleball, Padel and More | Holds 40 Tennis Balls or Pickleball Balls

Loaned to neighbor and they loved it so much had to get another one. fills quickly and the little metal clips on side do not stay put on either of the two I purchased but we can use hands to open wires to UNload walnuts.I roll up a gallon at a time and it takes 2-3 minutes to fill.

This isn't as big a deal to put together as folks make it sound like (and there is a video). Do try NOT to put a wire in the wrong place, removing it isn't easy but it comes with a tool.It wasn't too bad to put together but the side pieces with the hook to open up the prongs are nightmares and don't work very well. It is easier to open with your hands anyhow so I removed them...For pickleballs I left 2 notches between each tine instead of 1 and it is perfect.Fits in my car fine with the handle as is. Makes cleanup after ball machine much easier

If you have a dog who likes to play catch this is the tool for you. I usually have 50 plus tennis balls laying in my yard. This has changed a 30 min back breaking chore before mowing to a fun 3 minute chore that the kids are fighting over who gets to do it. The assembly was a pain but sooooo worth it.

Some items such as IKEA ship unassembled because that the only reasonable way to get it to you. This item ships unassembled to save the manufacture production cost. It would be a challenge to assemble if even if the directions were correct. When you have to go to a you tube video to assemble an item, you know it is complicated. The you tube instructions conflicts with the written instructions including what tools to use. There is no voice over on you tube to explain. All around this is an amateur operation. But you are stuck with it so why not try to assemble? Right? Another 10 minutes and I determined that I'd have to give another 30 - 45 min. If you like to tinker more than play tennis, this will be a fun purchase. I'm headed out to play tennis for the next 30 minutes instead of assembling a product that should have come assembled already or at least with a warning about the commitment to assemble it and reasonable instructions.

I have a bunch of different tools to pickup tennis balls. This one is the easiest to use and picks up balls quickly. It's the 2nd one I bought just because I forgot my first one on the court. Someone found it and I got it back after a week. But I was not sure at the time I would get it back, and absolutely needed it, so bought the 2nd one.

This is a great little pickleball collector! It is lightweight, sturdy and easy as pie to use. What's the but part? Well to put it together it would help if you are a MIT graduate which I'm not. For what little directions there are, they are not very clear at all. At best you can get only a general idea of how to put the thing together. I had to stop and re-start several times before I finally got it together. Once I was able to assemble it, I really enjoy using it.

The good:Saves timeSaves the backWorks smoothly on both hard and clay courts, as promisedVery durableFun to use, especially for kids😊Things to improve:A retractable handle would be nice, especially for storing in the carWider wire separators (I had to separate with my hands for quicker discharge of tennis balls)Instructions for assembly need to be clearerIn general, a great product!

I am very happy with this purchase. It saves a lot of time and is a very fun activity picking the balls for anyone. It is expensive compared to the long barrel kind of product which I had to return because you have to push one one ball at a time into it. This product is a lot better, just there is that initial 20-30 minutes of setup needed which is again very easy and fun if you just watch a youtube video on how to assemble it.I love this product, most of the time I don't have to pick any balls, the kid and my guest are stealing that opportunity from me ;)Thanks,Anmol Saraf
