Product Description

Product Description

A new exciting concept----The Twister is small, smooth and light. It slips through your fruit tree like a bird. You open the fruit holders when it gets to the fruit. When you let the fruit holders close on the fruit, your two hands are free for a quick twist. No more struggling through the limbs and twigs as you do with a basket or a bag . The Twister is fast. You or Grandma can pick with the Twister, on average, more beautiful, undamaged fruit in five minutes than you can with a large clumsy bag or basket. And, most importantly, instead of frustration, you will be smiling. The Twister is made of aluminum and plastic in my hobby shop. I guarantee it to please you. The Twister comes complete with picker, rope, and bungee cord. The pole in not included because of shipping costs. If your tree is not over 12 feet tall, a 48 in. broom stick with threads on one end and a hole in the other, will work fine. The Twister is shipped USP Priority Mail, 2 to 3 days usually. You will not be sorry. Patent applied for.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Fruit Picker I've Used..., December 15, 2007

By	Marino Shauye - See all my reviews

This invention is fantastic. Very simple, yet the most effective fruit picker I've used. I've tried various versions: the basket type, the kind with the little bag to catch your fruit, and the good ol' ladder. After years of frustration with the typical pickers, I did some online research and found this little gem on Amazon.

It's built very well, and comes with everything you need sans a broomstick to get to work harvesting your fruits. I bought it specifically for persimmons, and it worked just as advertised. I got a 12' extender pole from my local hardware store, and in less than an hour was able to pick off many of the fruit that had been perched high above where the other pickers couldn't reach. I could have picked the tree clean because it was so easy and even fun, but the sun set before I could get too carried away.

The pulley system makes it very easy to operate, and the "tongs" at the end gently grabbed the persimmons without bruising them. I was also able to isolate single fruits in big clusters, which was impossible with the other pickers. These could be pulled off with ease without dropping any cluster neighbors. It's also easy to maneuver through tangled branches.

I also tried it on the avocado tree, as there was one big avocado at the top of the tree that had eluded my bag-type picker the week before. There was no problem snagging it off the tree. I'm sure it would work equally well on lemons, which is my next endeavor.

Highly recommended. Well designed, simple to use, and just plain effective. The seller is also very good. Fantastic customer service and prompt shipping. He includes instructions with the shipment to help you get started. Happy picking!

5.0 out of 5 stars A unique Twist to fruit picking!, May 18, 2006

By	C. Benjamin (Southern California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After years of purchasing products on Amazon, this is the first review I've written.

The product arrived in 2 days after ordering. As explained in the product description, the handle is not included for shipping cost concerns. The directions include specifications for the best type of handle to get, which I easily found at Lowe's.

I followed the directions to install the product onto the handle, which took about 3 minutes, and took it out to the large orange tree in our backyard. The Twister is as efficient as your hand in terms of being able to manuver to the fruit you want to pick, and picks off easily.

The product appears to be make of durable parts. The parts that might wear over time should be replaceable.

All in all, this product is worthy of your attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best! The Picker Paid For Itself In One Use, December 9, 2007

By	A Thoughtful Consumer (Southern Calif) - See all my reviews

I'd give this this 10 stars if I could. For years I had been using a long reach fruit picking tool from Japan.But the long reach for the tool was 8-10'. I ended up leaving bushels of avocados behind because they were just unreachable. Nix that with the Twister..all you need is a long enough paint stick extension. Put the Twister on the end of the extension stick and if you can touch it, you got it. There's no dropped,bruised fruit, the tool holds the fruit secure. For the most part I can stay on the safely on the ground and still get to the top most avocados. I can safely and easily get all the fruit now, the Twister is the greatest!
