BEST Fruit Picker Pole is NOT in the Gardening Section

I originally bought this for our home remodeling. Then I repurposed as a fruit picker and saw. Since this thing is made of aluminum and the hexagon shape of the extension rod, it is super stiff and strong. Really excells with the saw head.
The basket is "Twist-On Fruit Picker Basket" that I bought off of Amazon for around $20. My guess is the big box stores also carry a similar part.

Great advice! Thank you!

Thanks!

I recently discovered this pole, my inlaws bought a house and it had a push-broom with one of these as the handle in the garage.
I used it to get Lego out from under the stove on our first visit. I got fairly well acquainted with it, seems like a handy tool to have around for many reasons!

In the lighting section

[@stokedonearth]

@billkraemer4710 I found mine in the painting department of my local big box store. Could be used/sold in lighting as well. Thx

My friends granddad had one of these. We actually still have it. We use it for picking pawpaws. They has several pawpaw trees. I wonder if this would work on walnut trees ??

[@stokedonearth]

I bet it would work for walnuts, but I have honestly never seen a walnut harvest. It's all about the basket head being able to grab the nuts. Pole is strong enough to use a saw head to cut branches.

[@etherico3041]

You never mention what the blue piece is called, what it’s used for, or where I might find it like you did with the painters pole. Which I feel like is the important part as it does the picking. But either way thank you this is awesome!

[@maverick9300]

That is the fruit picker.

[@stokedonearth]

Thanks. Yeah, I should have included that tidbit... I added it to the video description as below. Thanks 4 the advice.

@@stokedonearth awesome thank you so much. Now that you mention that I should’ve checked the description first

[@etherico3041]

@@maverick9300 yes that much was obvious. What I meant was he didn’t mention its intended purpose like how he did the painters pole being for ceilings (though you can use those on walls as well because they are for roller brushes). Knowing what it’s at least used for helps in knowing where to buy it which is what I was I was getting it

Still a bit heavy when fully extended.
Try a bamboo pole it's much lighter and easier on your shoulders.

[@stokedonearth]

@pms-hd3od Yes it can be a bit heavy (luckily Im a big guy 😀) and bamboo is great! The problem with bamboo is finding a big piece in the suburbs and storing a 15-foot piece. Also, if not processed correctly, it's going to crack and spinter overtime.
