Three Prong Fruit Grabber Or How To Steal Your Neighbors Grapefruit.
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
There I go stealing the grapefruits.The grabber is 89 1/4 (226.69 cm) long and it's jaws open to over 10 (24.4 cm) and made from scraps.I needed a break from building my bathroom cabinets and spied the ripe fruit on my neighbors tree.They don't eat them and throw them in their green trash bin.
I used a toilet bolt that I got with a wax ring kit for the trigger. It was the only bolt I had that fit. Redneck technology.My neighbors did give me permission to take the fruit. :^). They trim the tree when it blossoms to avoid the fruit. I ask them if they could wait until the fruit is ripe and could I have it, and they agreed.Thanks for visiting.
