This fruit picker blows away any other one weve had.
Most fruit pickers use a hook and basket which requires you to pull the fruit to remove it from the tree. The problem with this system is fruit that is notoriously difficult to pull. On more than one occasion, the basket detached from the pole and was then stuck in the tree. As a rule, the basket designs are not very good and theres really no way to definitively attach the basket to the end of the pole so that it WONT come off.
This one works very differently. Its like actually having a hand with two 4-inch looped fingers at the end of the pole that grips the fruit (theres a very ingenious cord system that controls the opening and closing of the jaws of the picker) tightly, but not so tightly that it injures the fruit. This then allows you to twist the fruit until the stem snaps and frees the fruit.
We have avocado and pomegranate trees. These are NOTORIOUSLY difficult to pull using a conventional hook and pull basket picker. This picker made short work of picking both of these types of fruits/veggies.
The design is ingenious and works REALLY well.
I have it attached to a 12-foot telescoping pole that I use to change light bulbs. The great thing is that if you already have a pole with a standard threaded end (the same end you might have on a push broom or mop), you can attach this picker easily.
My feeling is that if you wanted to use a longer pole (say 20 feet) the picking might be a 2 person job which has nothing to do with the picker and everything to do with targeting a piece of fruit with a 20 foot pole.

- Set up is a little tricky but well documented
Fruit Picker, 8 FT Fruit Picker Pole with Large Basket ...
I use it to get the oranges and lemons that are hard to reach from my trees. It does a very good job at taking them off.
The only thing to watch out for, that teeth (the metal pieces on the top of the basket, Im calling them teeth) are somewhat sharp enough to damage your fruit as youre taking it down. When you reach for the fruit just be careful. There will be times when you see your fruit come down and It has hole punctures due to the teeth. Also, the basket gets stuck in some places depending on where you put it through. When I would pull it out Id notice the metal band around the bar and basket would be tangled in leaves that it yanks. I try not to put it in tight places to void that. A good feature is that it is adjustable. If you need it to be 7 feet or 5 feet you can add/remove some of the poles and adjust it to whatever size you need. All you do is twist them on or off. Really simple.
Overall, this picker really saved my life. Now I make sure to pick all the fruit before it goes bad, even the ones that are at the very top of the tree.
