badchad Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Anyone try one of these? http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1310 Do they work? I'm thinking about buying one but most of the ranges I shoot on have gravel and I don't want to end up filling it up with more pebbles than cases.

uscbigdawg Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 (edited) YEP! They sure do. It's an pecan picker-upper. Rich Edited February 14, 2009 by uscbigdawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmca Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Nope, but I've used this one: http://www.amazon.com/Duke-Pecan-Co-Picker...5552&sr=8-5 beats bending over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

get2now Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 These really work. http://www.holtsnutwizard.biz/id1.html Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasOPM Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 They will indeed pick up every pebble of approximate shape and size of brass, almonds, pecans, etc. They don't work too well on gravel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket35 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Dang this may be handy! My practice range is pretty much hard packed dirt and sand....I picked up 320 cases today. Took me about 15 minutes or so. Squat-pickup 15 cases, stand up, move to another spot, squat-pickup 15 cases- repeat....my legs were feeling it!

edwin garcia Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 A fellow shooter here in houston bought one and I had the opportunity to use it. It generally works. One big advantage is its small turning radius-unlike previous products. This one can turn on a dime and grab hard to reach corners, or if it missed brass from previous pass. I think it'll be very handy for personal practice sessions-more so in club matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottrebello Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Used the Brass Wizard in Sacramento shoot. Worked excellent in hard pack with light loose on top. Beats the heck out of bending and picking up! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajarrel Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 We had two shooters buy one for use at out Tuesday night indoor shoot. They are wonderful and although I cannot attest to other surfaces, they work great on concrete. fwiw dj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 As long as the brass is on a surface where it tends to sit up, it'll grab it (i.e. concrete, packed dirt, grass, etc.). It's pretty sweet. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn-rgr Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 This might be worth checking out. Save my old back!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm52 Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Pecan trees abound in NE Louisiana and I've seen several of the pecan picker uppers at garage sales for pennies. I just takes another set of eyes to expand the utility value of this back saver. I have seen the roller type and ones that you just 'stab' like a trash picker. You could mount one of the rollers on a radio controlled car and let it do the work! Reminds me of the kid driving the golf ball picker at the driving range.
