If you’re tired of bending and kneeling to pick up acorns and other yard debris, the zozen Nut Gatherer is built to turn cleanup into a quick roll-and-go task. Simply scroll it back and forth to collect compatible items, then empty the basket using its side-opening dump design—no manual wire spreading and no shaking required.

Designed with a telescopic rod and fixed-button height adjustments, it’s easier to set a comfortable working height for different users. The rod is made from high-strength aluminum alloy for durability and rust resistance, while the spherical basket uses 304 stainless steel wire that’s heat-tempered to maintain shape and provide good elasticity during use.

This version has a 1-gallon capacity and is intended for objects sized from 3/8 inch to 1 inch, including acorns, pecans, buckeyes, hickory nuts, Nerf balls, and golf balls. Note: acorns are not suitable for use on thick lawn or uneven ground.

  • US patented design with side-opening dump to empty without pulling wires apart or shaking
  • 1-gallon capacity for faster yard cleanup sessions
  • Picks up objects sized 3/8″ to 1″ (acorns, pecans, buckeyes, hickory nuts, golf balls, and more)
  • Telescopic adjustable rod with fixed-button height settings for a more comfortable working height
  • Durable materials: aluminum alloy rod and 304 stainless steel wire basket designed to maintain shape

Affiliate tip: If you regularly gather nuts for yard cleanup or want an easier way to pick up items like golf balls, this tool’s dump mechanism is the standout—especially compared to wire-spread styles that can be slower to empty.
