    ALWAYS.......... Never fails !

    Handy alright! I used one for pickin' my peaches. I took stiff vinyl coated clothesline and formed it into a 1' diameter circle, attached a plastic grocery bag to it, attached all that just below the grabber so that when I was pickin' too high overhead the grabber would pull the fruit off and it...
