My parents keep giving us tools for Christmas, and when they brought a nut gardner, I thought, ‘Cool, another useless piece of junk for my shed’. But, I was terribly wrong! To be quite honest, we do not collect nuts that much. But, this little miracle worker is perfect for small garden debris — that’s for sure!

The product is positioned as a nut gardner, but I find it extremely handy for collecting berries. The biggest perk about collecting berries with the tool is that the recipient wires are soft and do not damage strawberries and other dedicate berries. With nuts, it’s different — paradoxically. Hard nuts bend the wires, so I believe it’s more of a berry gatherer, after all.
Today we will talk about a product that many of our fellow readers are interested in: the Garden Weasel Nut Gatherer. We believe this is an item that will make a great addition to any homestead owner’s yard or patio, especially if gardening is your passion because it’s sturdy, durable and easy to use.
Before moving on with our review, we’ll provide you with a few useful tips on how to actually use the Garden Weasel Nut Gatherer. The logic is quite simple. It works as a rolling instrument, so all you have to do is perform rolling, to and fro movements — as simple as that! Stop when you are done for the day, have gathered all the nuts, or filled your container. To empty the recipient (container), simply place it above any other, separate container of your choosing, and shake the tool.
This handy device works for gathering all sorts of nuts, such as pecans, hickory nuts, black walnuts or large acorns. But don’t think that it’s limited to nuts! According to satisfied customers, the Garden Weasel Nut Gatherer can also pick up crab apples, pine cones, seed heads, shotgun shells as well as other items of this sort.
Now that you know the basics, it’s time for you to get acquainted with the pluses and minuses of purchasing this product.
Pluses & minuses of going with Garden Weasel Nut Gatherer
Like any other tool out there, Garden Weasel surely has its pluses and minuses. Here are some of the most important ones:
Pros
- Very durable, made of carbon steel; this, in its turn, means that the device will serve you for years after the purchase
- The wire basket is heat-tempered; so, shape is preserved while the device is used
- Easy to use, as it involves simple back-and-forth movements
- Handgrip is ergonomic and features a deposit grapple; so, you will not experience any muscle ache after using the tool
- Customers benefit from lifetime warranty, which is more than most manufacturers offer
- It can withstand rough meteorological conditions, even rust; so, you can safely keep it outdoors.
Cons
- The recipient doesn’t feature a release mechanism, so the emptying process may be annoying
- The wires are sometimes problematic, as they can bend easily; so, even though the grip is highly durable, the recipient leaves some room for the improvement
- The device fails to pick up small acorns or pieces of acorns, which is one of its biggest blemishes so far; after all, the whole point of a gardner is to pick up small nuts.
Our opinion
While this is, without any doubt, a reliable and sturdy product, the tool has some disadvantages, too. Some users may regard the blemishes serious and even irritating. However, from an objective perspective, we can say that the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Users of the Garden Weasel Nut Gatherer are granted lifetime warranty, which is definitely an aspect that shouldn’t be neglected when purchasing a product. Using the tool is simple and intuitive; apart from the fact that there is no emptying mechanism, everything seems to be right in place.
One of the most annoying issues that we noticed when putting the device to the test is that it fails to work on small-size nuts, as is the case with tiny acorns. But, to look on the bright side, it does a wonderful job with bigger nuts, like pecans. So, when making a choice, you should really consider how you plan to use the device. If you don’t think you’ll have to pick up a lot of small nuts, we think you should go for it and buy the tool. On the other hand, if your budget allows you, it might be a good idea to purchase a pro model. But considering the price range and the features, our verdict is that the standard model of the Garden Weasel Nut Gatherer is quite a good bargain!

Not a bad tool for the garden. Certainly, if you are 20 or 30, it is not a problem for you to gather the nuts even if you have a lot of them. But when you are 60 and over, Weasel Large Nut Gatherer can become your rescuer. With it, you will cope with this job quickly and without any health problems.

I can’t say that I do not imagine my life without Garden Weasel Medium Nut Gatherer, but it certainly simplified my work in the garden. Although we do not hard a lot of nut trees, but I was not very fond of nuts collecting, neither did my children. Now, when my friends presented me this tool, I like to use it.

It is not a secret that autumn is a rather difficult season for gardeners, that is why any tool designed to ease your work is a great benefit without any doubts. So, when my children bought me the garden weasel nut gatherer pro, I appreciated this present a lot. Since that time, I like to collect nuts in my garden.

When I saw the advertisement about such garden tool as nut weasel picker, as immediately decided to buy it as I like to try something new and to form my own opinion about the tool’s benefits and weak sides. Yes, the tool is not bad, but I can’t say that it impressed me a lot. Maybe because I don’t have a lot of nut trees, so it is not a problem for me to collect them.

I would like to have this tool in my garden too.

A rather worthy invention, I can say. When my husband showed me the ad of the Weasel Large Gatherer, I had some doubts as to its functionality. But my husband was inspired by the ad and bought it. Now, I do not regret that he did not listen to my advice. The nuts gathering is easy thanks to this tool.

To say that Garden Weasel Medium Nut Gatherer is a helpful tool means to say nothing . For me, this tool has become a real rescuer as I have plenty of nuts in my garden and no volunteers to do the nut gathering job for me. Thanks to the creators of the tool. I’d like to have some more useful inventions at my disposal.

This Weasel Gatherer pro is awesome. It comes together in two pieces. Just a quick connect with the tumbler wheel onto the handle and you’re good to go. Which is really nice because the handle can’t fall apart and what not. Picks up pecans in our backyard like nothing, just roll it along the ground and it scoops them all up so easy and move on to another one. This is a great buy for medium size nuts.

I had my doubts about this device-never heard or saw one, but the Garden Weasel Nut Gatherer reviews inspired me and I’ve decided to give it a try. I got a medium size and I can say it works well. If nuts a below ground level, they have to be pulled to the surface by hand. I suggest mowing the lawn as short as possible and it will pick up those on the surface.
My parents live in the country and they usually have a good harvest of everything and nuts in particular. So, every time while harvesting, they asked me to come to help with nuts gathering. Luckily, I was told about such tool as garden weasel nut gatherer pro and succeeded to buy it. Now nuts collecting is the favourite job of my parents.
