Range pick-up tool for brass

[octagon]

We used one like this for hard surfaces. Never tried it on grass so I have no idea of it works on soft surfaces but on pavement it works great.

I've never used one, but this came to mind... https://www.amazon.com/Caldwell-1257.../dp/B00RPAH47K

Used them. Pass.

Haha! Well, I like being married and having all my things, plus there's a bit of a thing about enlisted going after officer

Has anyone tried one of these?

The website looks like its from the 1990s but it is certainly affordable:

I've used similar on ars with decent luck. Helpful if the brass isn't on the ground already

I use the Dillon branded one. Have had it 3-4 years now. Works great new but over time, it's ability to grab the brass wanes. When new, picked up all brass like a champ, down to .22. Now, it works best on fat brass like .45 and works fine for 9mm. .223 wants to slip out if you have more than 10 or so in the "basket". Works best to stab at the brass vs rolling over the brass. It beats the heck out of bending over, picking up 200-300 pieces of brass.

A collapsible handle would be more convenient versus the wood broom stick that came with my brass wizard.

Thanks for the feedback - this and a wet tumbler are in my radar for the coming weeks.

Do you see any noticeable difference between the Dillon and cabela branded tools?

Haven't tried the Cabela's brass wizard. I saw the one from Amazon the somebody posted in the thread and it looked like it came with a collapsible pole.

My wet tumbler arrives tomorrow. [emoji2]

Smart ass

If I can figure out how to make that work on non-magnetic metals, I'd be a billionaire.

This works for brass plated steel cases.
