I just saw this advertised elsewhere that said it would pick up pickleballs. Are the bottom slots flexible enough for the bigger pickleballs?

The carrier is made of iron and is very sturdy, it held 60+ tennis balls for me. Hope this helps.

What size are these pickleballs? I use it primarily for penn tennis balls and the product is really good for those. It's flexible but just about for the tennis ball.

I am not familiar with what pickle balls are, but I do know that the bars of this hopper are fairly rigid. The flex of the tennis balls is what allows it to pick them up. If pickle balls are much stiffer than tennis balls, I doubt that this hopper would pick them up.

Right now, not much. It does have a wide grabber area. It would probably work well for jars and things. I need to use it mainly to pick up things that I dropped. Like paper so I don't have to bend over to get it and until I glue some type of foam on the end, it's not very good at it.

Yes this claw ball pick up is different from the other four. I have one of these and it works well. I had misunderstood the question and answered before seeing the other four

I use the smallest bottle of liquid gain detergent 1.8 liter so I tried it for you this weekend. It will fit but to get it in the middle or the lower basket you have to angle it to clear the basket above. I agree with SMB that you would not want to load it down too much. I store hair products and brushes in mine and it works well for that.

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.

It will definitely hold baseballs but I am not sure the quick pickup function will work such as it does with tennis balls. The balls are what flex (not the cage) as they pass through the wires when you push the cage down over the ball. If you are thinking of using it as a stand to hold baseballs while pitching, for example, it would work perfect (i.e.) hip high to reach in a grab another ball to throw.

I would certainly think it would.. however since it uses a rolling action to gather... fruit might be bruised. The size of this gatherer is such that it could slowly be rolled better than a smaller version.

I looked at mine and it looks like it would. It opened a big mouth pickle jar with no problem.

I think so. I have a diaper bag that clicks on to the handle (hop skip messenger) The bottom basket is very roomy for any extras I need. I have placed groceries on the bottom with no problem

The top is flexible and would be OK but the bottom is hard plastic. I measured it and the bottom of my wastebasket is exactly 5". If you had another 1/4" it would be a good idea.

I think it would be fine for small or reg. sized play-dohs. If it sags too much on the bottom when you pick it up, you might just add some reinforcement inside (corrugated plastic maybe?). The perimeter of the bottom has a wire within the cording to keep the circular shape.

From the discriptions by others it's not designed for real balls, however one fella strengthened his with a few yards of stonger netting. If you never miss the baffle with real balls, shouldn't be a problem.

if you are just talking about using two hands in the bag to pick up poop, then yes, I believe the bag is big enough --- unless you have really big hands, then it might not work.

Yes I think so. I got this as a gift for my great nephew and his mom says he picks up his toys with it.

Depends on the pickle and it size and age, young firm work well,smaller workss the best.

I used it with rubber balls into a net at home and it didn't seem to pick it up. I have not tried to use regular balls.

Not sure what a sweet gum ball is. But we have golfball size things with spikes. It picks up about 1/3 of them in the basket, about 1/3 hit you and bounce out of the bastet, the final 1/3 gets swept forward. You can add a screen to knock the into the backet, which helps a bit. With that said, the unit is made ok, it is strong enough if you simply push it. Do not pull it behind a tractor. It picks up grass, leaves and twigs just fine. My attack plan: I sweep towards a point, so if they bounce out or shoot forward, at least they are moving off the yard towards a set point. Then I rake the remainder up. I'm sorry to say, I would not buy this to pick up the balls I have. But it does pick up butts and other road trash that people toss out of their cars.
