    Multi-headed nut wizard pickup tool - videos

    The Multi-Headed Nut Wizard. Yes, that's exactly what it's called, and it looks awesome. 1:42 video:



    Seems like some homemade tool builders went pro, which we always like to see. Of course there is an ammo pickup version. More interestingly, check out these variants:

    The Sock Wizard, for easily donning/doffing socks without hurting your back; 27-second video:




    The Trash Wizard; 12-second video:

    For ping-pong balls, which reasonably justify a different pickup strategy than tennis balls.

    Like the Sock Wizard, but in the genre of As-Seen-On-TV.

    Definitely wouldn't work at the range I go to and doubtfully pick up any pistol casings.

    The Nut Wizard is pretty cool system for a HMT start. Looks like pecans and wish I had one back when I picked walnuts for 2 summers...never again. The sock ones are also cool and have a real need for some folks...I know my Mom could have used one!

    Those are the cleanest field filberts I've ever seen. Typical harvest involves windrowing then elevating the windrow into a cart. The lot is taken to the packer where the nuts are cleaned to look just like what this man is vacuuming.
