can this be used to pick lemons?

I have picked peaches, apples and pears. The tines are close enough to pick lemons. I've never seen a lemon on a tree. are the hard to get off?

Although I only use mine for Avacado's, I don't see why it wouldn't work for just about any fruit that fits in the basket (including Lemons). So yes, I would buy this to pick lemons, oranges, apples, avacados etc.

I would say, "no"....this is basically a tool for lifting the carpet pile. It doesn't pick up anything. I use it when I apply dry cleaning powder to rake it in. My son uses his to rake pet hair before vacuuming.

I would certainly think it would.. however since it uses a rolling action to gather... fruit might be bruised. The size of this gatherer is such that it could slowly be rolled better than a smaller version.

I have never tried it for that but would think it would work for that. Has a soft bottom padding to cushion when fruit (or tomato) is picked. Might be useful for picking tomatoes in a deep garden with little room between rows. Would have to be careful that the fingers did not puncture the tomato when trying to put the picker around the stem. Might bruise the tomato but probably not if careful with it.

This particular grater would NOT be good for lemon peel. (This one is more for shredding cheese or veggies). For zesting lemons, look for the Microplane 40020 Classic Zester/Grater (http://www.amazon.com/Microplane-40020-Classic-Zester-Grater/dp/B00004S7V8/). That is the tool you're looking for.

It would work as long as you do not cut off the pressure needed going to the pick part. It is an excellent investment. Well made and easy to use.

Instructions say it can be used for oil,vinegar,lemon or lime juice. I would not try anything thicker.

It might work better for key limes since lemons are too big and could cause squeezer to break

Probable not. If they are that small you are likely better to use a lemon on lime press. This machine is best for oranges down to lemons.

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

It's a citrus squeezer not specific for any one fruit. I use it for squeezing lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruit.

Yes on pickles. Just tried it on a Claussen dill pickle. It worked great. I had never thought to try it before! I was not surprised that it did not work with an olive, at least not a kalamata pitted olive. It got mushy. By the way it works great to slice strawberries, and grapes

Sorry, I've never used mine to juice key limes. I have used it on some small regular limes and it worked ok and it works great on big limes, lemons and small oranges. If doing large oranges I half to cut them in quarters and then it works. I would try it the next time I have key limes, but if I was buying something to do key linem only, I would buy a small reamer type juicer.

I don't think so, this is for extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, you might want a mini-blender or regular blender for that.

Yes. I can be used for grapefruit, oranges, and pomegranates. Just don't put too much pressure on the handle and squeeze too hard or you will be able to taste the rind instead of getting pure juice.

I would not know, if that is a good idea. We have an apple picker with a little sack at the top. The rim of the sack is metal, has a slit for catching the apple stem and pick it.
