Nut Collector “Best Buy”
Wendy Wellnitz, La Crescent, Minn.: “I love the Stab-A-Nut tool for picking up fallen nuts. We have two black walnut trees in our yard. Collecting nuts for our use and getting rid of the extras used to involve a lot of bending over and/or crawling around on the ground.
“After harvesting what we want, fallen nuts become a problem when mowing the lawn or even walking across it, especially in heavy crop years. As the green husk starts to deteriorate, disposal is a very messy job, staining hands or gloves.
“The Stab-A-Nut is a great alternative. It’s a light pole with a head filled with plastic tines. I just push it down over the nut or nuts, and it grabs and holds them. It can grab up to 6 at a time without a problem.
“Ejecting them is easy. Just push down on the pump-action handle, and fingers slide through the tines, pushing the nuts out and into a pail or wheelbarrow. There is no mess and no hassle.
“There are two different size heads, green tines for large nuts and blue tines for small ones. The company also offers replacement heads and other add-ons. If you have a lot of nuts, their larger rolling harvesters look like they would do a great job too, but at $415, they were more than I could justify.
“My Stab-A-Nut cost $59.99 from the website (www.baganut.com) with free shipping. I got the larger nut model for our walnuts. It works great, even late in the fall in heavy grass that doesn’t get mowed. It grabs and holds so I don’t have to.”
