apple picker,
By LKS (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ames True Temper 2325100 Fresh Fruit Harvester With 8-Foot Two Piece Hardwood Handle (Lawn & Patio)
The apple picker came in three pieces. Although in theory, it should have been easy to screw the plates to join the two four foot poles together, it proved to be very difficult. The screw holes did not line up with the plate holes, therefore new screw holes had to be drilled. The old holes were filled and I am hoping that the poles have not been compromised due to the revision.

This review is from: Ames True Temper 2325100 Fresh Fruit Harvester With 8-Foot Two Piece Hardwood Handle (Lawn & Patio)
The tines are as likely to grab branches as fruit. I frequently find myself spending minutes trying to grab a fruit without grabbing the branch it's on, untangle the picker from the tree, and frequently just pulling hard enough to tear the offending branch off the tree in frustration. The tines bend if you treat them this way, but sometimes the alternative is calling the fire department with "My picker tried to climb the tree and now it can't get down again."The fruit cannot be twisted but must just be simply yanked off the branch. That means that the branch will bend and then spring back, causing other fruit to fall. That would be okay if they were falling on something soft, but in my back yard I have some flagstones, some stairs, a high drop into a drainage channel behind the shed, and various other obstacles. So the lack of control over the fruit and the impossibility of pulling it off gently can be a problem. God help you if you're trying to steal fruit from your neighbour. The joint between the two pieces of handle is floppy. It's quite secure, but the pole certainly wobbles a bit. Not really a problem, but irritating. There's a piece of foam sitting at the bottom of the basket. It's designed to prevent the fruit from being bruised as it falls into the basket. It's not obvious what's keeping the foam there, and indeed if it was obvious to the designers of the device, then they were wrong: the foam falls out all the time.
