Can this be used to pick up acorns from your yard or a rock bed?

Haven't tried it but I don't see why not. I've picked up broken glass with it and it works just fine.

It's small and electric so I would say no. I guess it depends on how rocky (small rocks or stones?) It does an ok job but if the soil hasn't been turned over before it's going to be a bit of a chore. You will need ot make sure there are no roots as well.

This product was designed to pick up medium size nuts (pecans, hazel nuts, almonds, etc.) when you get to walnut sizes I do not think it will be as efficient. Also rocks are not symmetrical & are rough so that may wear the tines after a while. In tilling my garden I do not bother with small stones (golf ball or smaller) unless there are alot. Bigger than a small potato may jam the tiller if caught in it. Hope this helps...

I am not sure but it should if it is packed full of potting soil or other soil in which you wish to grow your plants. I am not sure I would use it for this purpose however unless the rocks were large and not compacting.

I'm not really sure as this is really meant for things like dock, burdock, dandelions. I also use it to dig a hole for bulbs. I love the tool. I just think it might take up too much soil to dig around the clump of crabgrass. But it might work great.

I pick up small fruits (cherry I think) that are about an inch give or take. I also use it to pick up a small apple, 2-2 1/2 inches. If the acorns are in this range, your good. If they are smaller than that, there is another smaller version of this same tool meant for nuts and whatnot.

Tiny pebbles and DRY leaves suck-up the best....but I wouldn't try to use this instead of a rake!!! A blower to blow those things away or into a heap to shovel or scoop up is what I do.

It all depends on how close the prongs are. I used the rake for small figs and apricots that were too high for me to reach. Since the rake has an extender you can go quite high. I'm sure it will work for walnuts

I don't have an oak tree that drops acorns, but I see no reason why it wouldn't. It's very powerful.

Dear Jean W., As long as the acorns are over 1/4 inch in size, and you use a very quick back and forth motion with slight pressure on the basket, it will pick them up- it does for me. I hope this answers your question. Maren

It pulls up dead grass. It probably won't work if the grass has live roots.

as long as you buy the one with the Metal Impeller model you can cut through small branches and I have not had any issues with acorns, but I don't have many acorns.

I do not know. I was way to scared to try mulching my acorns. I have so many that I just blew them away with all the leaves. The blower was powerful enough to suck the acorns right out of the ground even after they had been stepped on & covered with dirt all year long.

Hello,It can pick and clean bird seeds. It cannot pick up shells from a peanut. Best Regards,Royal Blue Shipping Corp

The WG500 has a plastic impeller which may not hold up to the acorns. I have a few gum trees which drop those nasty prickly gum balls. Mine seems to mulch those okay, but it's not a LOT at one time. There are newer versions that have metal impellers, that might be the better option.

Yes, I am sure it would pick up mulch just fine! And I am happy to say, the digger is still played with and is a favorite past time for our 5 year old grandson.

I believe it will, have not tried it on acorns but the gap between the coils is less than 1/4" so acorns shouldn't fall out once picked up.
