does it pick larger objects like nuts and how well does it work on curved walls?

My experience is that yes it will pick up larger objects. Haven't experienced nuts before but it has picked up large leaves and small pebbles. You will have to brush the curved walls. It will do okay but won't get everything from walls even when they aren't curved.

First let me say I love mine! Nuts I am not sure about, none around my pool. Mid/size leaves to items small as sand yes it works great! Curved walls I would say yes. We have a Grecian shaped pool. It goes to the 2nd step. You will still have to brush down corners but this makes the rest of the cleaning so easy I don't mind at all! I would recommend & have to friends & family with pools!

The Polaris 9450 picks up objects the size of nuts with an opening about 1" width and 8-10" length. There is still a problem with the cord twisting even after drying out and straightening in the sun. It does however have no problems with curved walls as well as cleaning the walls.

I would say the same as the other customer. Corners not the greatest. We don't have any nuts to know how well it works. Very easy to clean out and does great picking up the very fine stuff on the bottom. Would recommend.

Kyle, don't know about nuts, but our Polaris 9450 picks up snail shells. No prob with curved walls. We've been quite happy with its performance.

Works well on curved walls. We get lots of leaves in our pool and it picks them up great.

I have inadvertantly picked up small rocks when picking up pecans in soft soil. I would think it would work just fine as long as the rocks were round and not flat otherwise they will just fall through the mesh.

Personally, we have only used it for black walnuts so I am not sure about the small nuts.

It picks them up, but not as well as it picks up larger nuts. The flexible wires are almost too far apart for small nuts like acorns although I have picked some up a few times. Generally I rake acorns and pick them up with a shovel.

It might work but I don't think it would work great. We use the large for walnuts and when picking them up it will occasionally spit out one that is not in a husk. I think you would spend a lot of time picking up nuts it spits back out as the spacing between the wires is fairly big. I would go with a smaller one for hazelnuts.

The pecans That I used it to pick up were small to medium. They have one for larger nuts as well.

Yes, the nut wizard works very well picking up filberts(hazelnuts) so I think it should work with hickory nuts, but not shell parts.

It has serrated zig zag teeth in the part that "grabs" the "item". It picks up pretty accurately.

It's got this little brush that extends out from it that rotates and sweeps corners. Trust me I was skeptical at first but it does a great job.

i havent tried it on those, but it picks up sweet gum balls very well, and i believe it would pick up anything that is basically round in shape.

This is basically the same as a nut gatherer. Bear in mind that both come in different sizes. I am not using mine as I work mostly in gravel environments, and this device simply does not work in that environment. It works well on hard and smooth surfaces, but then again so does a broom and dust bin. My advice is to save your money and work your thighs and back by picking up brass the old fashioned way ... one at a time, manually. Get a workout in a good cause.

I'm not sure how big hickory nuts are but I know it picks up both very small and very large pecans. This is a great tool.

I have pulled many small objects from 10 - 12". The bigger the object, the deeper it will show up. I have only used 3 times so far but love it.

This product was designed to pick up medium size nuts (pecans, hazel nuts, almonds, etc.) when you get to walnut sizes I do not think it will be as efficient. Also rocks are not symmetrical & are rough so that may wear the tines after a while. In tilling my garden I do not bother with small stones (golf ball or smaller) unless there are alot. Bigger than a small potato may jam the tiller if caught in it. Hope this helps...

I have honestly only tried it on commercial grade carpet. The really really unpadded NOT fluffy stuff. It does get the bigger crumbs, from where I eat and walk around the office, pretty well. Picks up things like paper clips, so I would assume it would pick up the bigger chunkier things. I would think it would work on slicker surfaces maybe a little bit better because there would be less friction? Just an educated assumption.

It does it will actually pick up hair and dirt from almost anything but is the best for furniture, it has this awesome rolling brush inside that you will love :-)
