This is gonna be easy, I made this for one purpose, what.

its very handy when your back is killin' ya.

...is it a pooper-scooper?

[HeelSpur]

LOL, nope but I guess that would leave stains too.

Catching garden snakes?

[HeelSpur]

Has nothing to do with snakes.

Must be for picking up the end of some sort of pipe.

To pick up the tongue of garden tractor trailer?

[HeelSpur]

I thought this would be easy, once you know you'll say you gotta be kidding me.

[Mel Larsen]

OK, it's to hold something your wife is making you paint.

notta, I just tell yall. Its for picking up walnuts, lol.

My back has been giving me a fit here lately so I came
up with a way to pick em up w/o squating or bending over.
I was surprized as how well it works, just squeeze the wire
together and pick up and dump into a bucket. It takes a
little longer than raking them in a pile and scooping them up,
but what the hey, I saved my back.

[superzstuff]

Sounds like what you need is a golf ball pick up device. If the walnuts aren't too big, you can pick up a bag full with one of these and then just dump them all in a bucket.

nah, shop vac with a stick taped to the hose. saw a guy piciking up butternuts that way once.

10 minutes of vacuuming, then you sit at the picnic table and sort out the rocks...
