Loose fruit picker Gardena 17400-20 Black Plastic Handle

The GARDENA combisystem Berry Picker (model 17400-20) is a handheld fruit and berry collector with an integrated 0.8-litre basket and a plastic handle. It is an interchangeable combisystem attachment compatible with all GARDENA combisystem handles, including the telescopic handle (Art. No. 3721-20) for extended reach. The rotatable head with small and large teeth and a practical carrying handle allow comfortable harvesting of berries and stone fruit while keeping the collected fruit visible. Small standing feet allow the picker to be placed on the ground, and the tool can be stored on the combisystem Tool Rack Flex (Art. No. 3505-20). The product is backed by GARDENA's 25-year warranty.

Advantages

The integrated basket provides 0.8 litres of storage, enabling the collection of a significant amount of plums, cherries or berries in one go. The rotatable head offers two tooth sizes: narrow teeth for small berries and wider teeth for stone fruits, enabling versatile use. The secure mount to any GARDENA combisystem handle ensures a stable connection for comfortable working, and the sloped grip angle improves visibility of collected fruit. Small feet permit temporary placement on the ground and the compact design allows space-saving storage on the combisystem Tool Rack Flex.

Suitable for

• Picking berries such as raspberries, blackberries and currants
• Harvesting small fruits and soft fruits like cherries
• Collecting stone fruits (plums, small apricots) using the wider teeth
• Harvesting from low branches or, with a telescopic handle, from higher branches

How to use

Attach the Berry Picker to a compatible GARDENA combisystem handle and secure it according to the handle’s locking mechanism. For higher branches, mount the picker on the Telescopic Handle (Art. No. 3721-20). Position the rotatable head so that the appropriate teeth (narrow for small berries, wider for stone fruits) face the fruit. Pull the picker gently through the branches so the teeth collect fruit into the integrated 0.8-litre basket. Use the carrying handle to hold the picker while harvesting and place it on its small feet when you need to set it down.

Recommendations

To protect fruit and ensure efficient harvesting, use the narrow teeth setting for soft, small berries and switch to the wider teeth for firmer stone fruits; avoid excessive force when pulling through branches to reduce fruit bruising.
