Fruit Picker with twist v1

thingiverse

I wanted a way to grab those plums at the top of the tree without breaking out the ladder. This contraption attaches to the end of a pole used for painting, and it's broken down into multiple pieces that screw together with decking nails. You don't need the spring - a rubber band will do the trick just fine as shown in the picture. You can also skip the wheel on the spring, but I found the extra oomph to be helpful. I even gave this a try on some ripe figs, and you'll definitely want to add some padding to avoid tearing them apart. Enjoy!
