For those of us who are brass hounds and getting older we tend to utilize tools to retrieve said brass. I have been using the cheap plastic grippers like you find at the dollar store (really cheap, I have broken dozens, really cheap).
So I've been looking for a better mousetrap and came across this one.
Battenfeld Brass Retriever : Cabela's

Has anybody ever seen one in use or have you used them before?;)
 
Yes. But mine works with live ammo to. :s0140:

Winner, winner. The Cabela's Site booked marked! Kinda late for Santa. Maybe a New Year's present to myself. Thank you. :)

Does it work specifically picking up fired 9 mm and .30 Carbine brass? Inquiring minds wonder?

Midway USA has the same thing at the same price.

If using that in a gravel area you may not like it so much after sorting rocks out. It still beats hunching/bending over but maybe a better pincher tool would be better. Look up litter sticks, we used them a lot when I worked for the parks dept. They were a well built long lasting pincher stick.

Yes those are really well-made I've used them before for other stuff but I'd have to manipulate the grippers to pick up brass. The one part of the gripper is got a 90 degree bend in it so I would straighten it a bit. It might just work really well.

Thanks for the link.;)

You can also make wood attachments to fit your needs and screw them on to the top finger. The ones we used had a replaceable wood top finger and could pick up bottles or cigarette butts. I haven't been able to find them but it was around 30yrs ago and probably not made anymore.

When there's a will there's a way. I have a Woodshop with a lot of wood so I can be creative at times.
