I bought the Large Nut Wizard to make picking up sweet gum seed balls easier. The seed balls were originally so thick on the ground that the Nut Wizard didn't work very well. It worked much better on subsequent removal over the same area when the see balls weren't so dense. I would have to dig some out of the grass with my foot every so often when the Nut Wizard couldn't grab them. Overall, it saved a lot of wear and tear on my back. I'm glad I bought it..
