will it pick up small acorns?

The pecan picker upper has springs 3/8 inches apart. I feel acorns with diameter of more than 3/8 inches could be picked up, but the springs are stiff and the acorn shell would be damaged. I suggest you gently rake the acorns into piles and pick them up by hand if you wish to have nice looking acorns.

I believe it will, have not tried it on acorns but the gap between the coils is less than 1/4" so acorns shouldn't fall out once picked up.

Big, yes. Small, that's a problem and I haven't tried it. They have to be large enough to go all the way through the coils but not so small they fall back out.

Depends on how small. I would think so -- but they may fall out since it's not really made for picking up smaller stuff.

Should be no problem with the leaves & small acorns. Live down in the south where there's mostly pine trees, magnolias, and burr oaks. Picks up and shreds magnolia leaves just fine and magnolia leaves are even worse than oak leaves with regards to being thick and never decomposing. This Toro I'm sure would have the suction to pick up the acorns, but I don't know how much they'd actually be mulched or what it may do to the impeller blades. Live and learn.

I would say if it is like pea gravel or some type of small rock it may be helpful, but I'm afraid it would pick up larger landscaping type rock. When I use them to pick up leaves they even get some dirt

Most definately. I have birds and a Guinea pig and it very good at picking up small seeds and bedding. I also have dog's and it works great on dog hair!

as long as you buy the one with the Metal Impeller model you can cut through small branches and I have not had any issues with acorns, but I don't have many acorns.

It will pick up the pea gravel and small rocks with the leaves. Don't know about the berries.

Hi This is Steve at Aqua Products, This unit is indeed designed to vacuum debris including leaves, sand and yes acorns. Be sure to empty the bag often. Note: Some stubborn debris that sticks to the bottom may benefit from units that Scrub or those that have Power Washing Jets - these help loosen that debris and vacuum it up more efficiently. If you would like more information please reach out to me at sferry@aquaproducts.com

Yes, my wife picks up giant burr oak acorns out of thick St.Augustine grass. One item of caution, we loaned the Nut Wizard to friends that gathered smaller pecans and "Shared" them with us, this little Wizard did not discriminate the dried dog turds!! :(

Yes. Mine picks up animals as small as round-tail ground squirrels, about the size of a small mouse. I have a frameable enlargement of a road runner standing on the edge of my bridge.

It will pick up acorns but it may hurt the impeller chopping them eventually. The metal impeller is much stronger than the plastic one in my older model that I replaced with this model so it may not be bothered by the nuts.

I haven't tried acorns; but, it is amazing for picking up pecans. It picks up very few sticks, leaves and hulls. I bet the small one would work just as well with the acorns.

I have had it pick up animals as small as dove, but I cannot say if it would pickup much smaller.

Yes- it can pick up small bugs. It would not be able to get field mice- but teeny bugs would be no problem.

It picks up about 15 large black walnuts at a time. I guess bit depends on the size.

I'm very impressed with the way this picks up things. It ofcourse is not as good a full size but it does very well on the edges. It acually picks up little limestone rocks that get stuck to shoes from the yard. It should have no problem picking up cherrios.

I believe it will pick up the stones with the nuts. It is a wonderful tool . When I first used it I accidentally picked up a magnolia tree burr and it wedged th splines open and my pecans fell out. I also found that twigs are not its friend. I actually am going to purchase the larger one for quicker gathering.
