3. Simple to Assemble, Clean, and Store
One of the practical perks of the Nut Gatherer is how easy it is to assemble and take apart.

Its collapsible design also means it can be stored without taking up much space, which is ideal for both DIY homeowners with limited storage and our crews who transport it to multiple job sites.
4. Best Practices for Optimal Use
Since sticks can get caught in the tines, we suggest doing a quick pass to clear the area of larger debris before using the tool. While it does come with a side shoot to help empty the basket, we prefer to spread the tines manually over a bag or garbage can to dump the contents. This simple workaround keeps the process smooth and minimizes jams.
