Will this work with pine or cedar?

I have used this kit with pine and had no issues. But using glue and not over tightening the screws can ensure you don't crack the soft pine and still have a strong joint.

I don't have a pine tree and live in a very dry climate but it does pick up small twigs from a blue palo verde tree and those twigs are larger and heavier than reasonably dry pine needles. As with any blower-vac, you can clog it if you try to pick up a huge pile of anything. Just work from the edges and it should do fine. I'm still amazed at how much better it is than my previous one from a different manufacturer.

I have never done it, but if you use stainless steel staples and ensure that the pressure is correct, i.e. not driving the staple thru the cedar, there should be not problem.

It works on leaves with longish stems, so I don't see why not. My pine needles are about 4" long and it works just fine on them. If you have longer needles, I wouldn't imagine it has much trouble as it's a matter of flipping them out and as long as any part of the needle/stem/leaf/bract is caught, it seems to do the job. It also works fine on very small leaves which are actually harder to get out. Love the little thing.

I've never done pine that big, but I doubt it. It may do simple pieces,but once there is a branch or knot it will probably choke.

Yes the description is in error, I was worried about this also and decided with the description on the manufacture's web site I would give it a chance.I'm am pleased to respond that the would is not PINE. Sorry the answer took so long.

I have used it on pine which turned a golden brown and ceder that turned grey (which is its natural aged color). It looks pretty natural to me.

I believe it would do well from my experience as long as your not using extremely dense wood such as Lignum vitae. You can always bump up the air pressure and experiment with the right diameter pins.

Fredna- It does have a setting for pine needles. Our experience is with mixed oak leaves and Jeffrey pine needles. So far no issues. I suspect that if all you are loading into it is pine needles, you might have to avoid just dumping a bunch in. Instead you'd probably have to make sure you don't clog it. Large handfuls at a time would probably work fine. It uses plastic grass trimmer line (I bought a reel and cut my own lengths) and the pine needles might go through the line faster than it does with mostly leaves. But it's not very difficult to put new line in. As I mentioned in my review, it's a little awkward to put together. However, I'm in my second season of using it and am happy with it. I hope this answers your question, Brock

I think gold leafing works best on smooth surfaces because the leaf breaks apart easily during the gluing process...pine cone may be a bit tricky depending on the texture. I think something liquid may be easier and faster to put it on the pine cones.

It will pick up and mulch the needles. I am not sure about small twiggy branches. Also, our pine trees are surrounded by dirt. It doesn't work well on this surface as it picks up small pebbles and dirt as well. If your pine needles have fallen on a grass, cement, asphalt or wooden surface it would work.

Yes, if using an electric fence shocker you could use your pine trees as posts if you use an insulating material on the trees. I would just spare your trees and buy some cheap plastic posts that are available at most hardware stores for about $1 ea.

I think with pine especially with digger pine I would use at least 2 times a week. Oak is much cleaner.

Yes. I topped a cedar chest with it so it could serve as a bench. Works fine!

It depends on the species of wood. Cedar is pretty soft so you might see ricochet when the compressed air cylinder runs low.

I think it would work with wood. If it was me for wood I would find one that has a much bigger tip though

I've cut pine saplings the size of my thumb and trimmed back overhanging rhododendron branches. It should do fine. As with a previous answer, a lopper would do better for anything over an inch.
