Will it do a good job with long pine needles?

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.

Flo-Free works very well with pine needles. They will sit on top of the Flo-Free, but the water can still flow through.

The cover works great for me, we have pine trees and the needles get into everything. This cover keeps better than 90% of then out and they have difference sizes. So I get there largest one as my unit is only 30"x30". Hope this helps you out.

Yes and it will do a good job of it. Up to a half inch this unit will pick up broken bits of staples, so brads and finishing nails are picked up even further.

Yes. I have used it for douglas fir, soft cedar, and white pine with good results. The advantage of this plane is that it is easy to change blades, allowing you to use different bevel angles for different woods.

Yes it will peel pine pall every well. It's an awesome tool. After buying this I am buying pine apples where ever I see . Loved it. I highly recommend this. The only thing is the wastage depends on the size of the apple. But what ever it cuts is neat and fresh, worth buying .

I think it could mulch them without much problem, but I question how efficiently it would suck them up. With dry, raked leaves it has no problem, but if the needles are matted thick in the ground, it may not work to your expectations.

I'm sure it would. I have put blackberry vines, pine and cypress branches, corn stalks and grapevines through it along with piles of leaves. It got clogged a little with pine needles but was easy to free it up.

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 used it very successfully on a very old bed of unfinished pine. Not reclaimed of course, but really old, porous, dried out pine. Terrific results. It's a small container, and you can try it out on an inconspicuous spot, and then if you decide you don't want to use it for that, you will surely find many other applications. IMHO!

Yes, it is long enough to check trees. I've used it on Arborvitae and Summers Maples.

Ihave used it on pine and oak without any issues it will get a little bit loaded up after extended use but a wire bush takes care of that in a hurry!

I do not have tons of pine trees on my property, but I believe if the pine straw is sticky from pine sap, the machine is going to have problems handling that type of debris.

I've only used it on leaves. If the pine straw is dry I think it might work.

It's pretty effective on just about anything. Mind you, the blades are not LONG....You still need heavier duty snippers for thick stems...

It will but it is going to recycle allot, maybe after every 2 or 3 shots. Nail penetration will depend on what kind of wood. Oak is denser than pine. A 3 gal compressor would work better and drive longer and thicker nails but for small jobs and infrequent use it will do You could also check out Harbor Freight.

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