Anyone tried this to pick up pine needles with this? If so, does it work?

Yes it does. My husband just drops it down lower! It really saves a lot of back breaking work. We have a big lawn and raking it after each mowing was really hard. He has a bad heart and the pulling really caused pain. Best buy we have made in a long time.

They are a little harder to pick up, but we went over them twice and they did pretty good

We get a lot of pine needles and it picks them up with no problem, when they are dry. Does a pretty good job when they are wet but much better when dry.

Nope. It will pick up larger items. Doesn't work great if you have a lot of small leafs, etc.

I have used this mainly for outside picking up limbs trash and some rocks, no doubt it can pick up a jar of pickles, I would add though, you need a good grip strength, something I lack because of arthritis, the tool will undoubtably do the job in my opinion

We didn't have any problems at all. We mulched pine needles, lawn clippings and small branches etc. Its did a really great job and was pleasantly surprised how well the plastic blades held out. Very good buy!!!

Haven't used it specifically on pine but have both ripped and crosscut redwood and oak. Seemed to do a good job on both.

It should work fine. The basket inside the holder will hold a lot of pine needles due to its size. My pool gets a lot of maple leaves and red bud leaves in the fall of the year. This device will hold a lot of leaves before you have to empty it. It will holds much more leaves than the standard skimmer basket which keeps me from emptying it as often. I believe it should hold a lot more pine needles than large leaves. I say go for it. Hope this helps in making your decision.

It doesn't have a very strong blow but it does ok on pine needles, I've never tried it for snow. Might be ok for light snow.

It works great on large weeds. It is not the tool I would recommend for many weeds in your flower bed. Too much work. You would be better off with a three prong weed tiller than the fiskar. I was a little disappointed in all the work required per weed with the fiskar. Check Lowes, etc., for a better weed puller.

It would work with the pine pellets. Bottom is slotted, under slotted area is a tray that has a large hole in it for urine to go into a catch pan. Not the easiest setup to keep clean. I feel a better choice would be the breeze pan system. My daughter uses that with pine pellets. You don't need any pads. Saw dust falls into tray which can be pulled out and cleaned daily. Very easy. hope this helps

I don't have pine needles, but I do have maple seeds. They have to be blown off after their season. I like them especially the PRO. Pine needles are tough because they come in such great quantity. If you are able to blow them off you are all set.

Yes it Works pretty well. But if you want one for outside, get the other model that has three Little grăbesc at the end. But i pick up everything With this one.

Well it actually works beautifully for picking up a big pile of poop from my boxer. It opens wide and grabs the mess and the spring is strong enough to grab and close until it can be thrown away somewhere else. In my case a pasture. Hope this helps.

It is my understanding that it will pick up pine needles and fresh cut grass but may take more than one pass

not really.. the hole is too small for pine cones. PS, you have to make sure whatever you are sucking up is DRY, DRY, DRY, DRY... and small, small, small THEN IT WILL WORK OK...

I don't have lots of pine cones, but I have mulched a few of them. If the cones are dried and open, it shouldn't have a problem. I wouldn't want to use it on unopened, green cones. But I sure enjoy my Worx machine. It saves so much time and effort and bags.

You know I honestly don't think so. I would say that overall, it's not a bad little gadget if you are picking up light crumbs, etc, but to say it would work on anything substantial, it's not worth it. It works great on light dog or cat fur, or bird seed, but it won't pick up any straw (we have a rabbit also)....and it fills up very fast so sometimes I have to dump it three times just to pick up after the birds. Almost easier to use the big machine!
