Leaf Scoops Hand Rakes - Lightweight, Durable Grabber Tool for Scooping Up Leaves, Spreading Mulch, Gardening, and Yard Work by Pure Garden (Green)

One of the best yard tools I have purchased. Makes picking up leaves, mulch, dirt, etc., much easier, quicker, and complete.

We have a giant maple tree that leaves a ton of leaves and I needed something to help me pick up the leaves. These are very sturdy and you can pick up a ton at once. It was also easy for my 5 year old to use them. I did fill 16 leaf bags in one go, and I was left with bruises on my forearms from where the upper portion rested, but these are still worth it for how quick and easy this made nagging leaves. The value for the money also was great for what you get. I expect them to last us a good while.

These are great for leaf pickup, but they have a weak points all around the handle. We have them duck-taped all around the handle, and with the duck tape, they lasted 2 more seasons of use.

These work really well for picking up leaves and grass clippings after you rake them in a pile.

I have used these things for years, however since they are plastic they eventually break. Just be careful not to try to lift too heavy a load or accidentally step on one buried in the leaves. We have many oak trees and many leaves to rake up every winter.

What a great garden tool to have. Picking up garden waste, leaves, etc., so much easier.

I love these "HANDYS"...worksgreat for picking up leaves.

I wasn't sure about buying these, but at 15 clams shipped, I gave them a try. And wow, how did I live without these?Pros: You can grab a massive amount of leaves for each time you bend over, which means less bending over and less back pain later. You keep your hands out of the bug-infested leaves, poison ivy, thorns, etc when you're picking that stuff up. They have a slight rake effect with their jagged front edge. They are just surprisingly enjoyable to use.Cons: I think the handles could be better, perhaps a thick black foam type. Or foam-wrapped metal. They seem just a little thin, but completely usable. I just find sometimes I'm not holding them the way they are intended, and I realize I'm subconsciously trying to get more grip or leverage. They work well. But in a perfect world, they might be improved upon slightly.So far, they haven't broke. They move a ton of leaves per grab, so you can get those big piles loaded into your leaf bags pretty quickly. I paired these with 4 Plintons 72 gallon yard waste bags w/ zippered tops. And tell you what, I can move a massive amount of leaves from the ground into my truck in 4 clean sealed semi-rigid bags surprisingly fast. Those bags are worth a look!Wherever you're going to put your leaves, a set of rake hands like these is well worth it. You don't have to bend over as many times to pick up the leaf pile. You don't have to bend down nearly as far to grab the leaves. You don't have to put your hands into the dirt and leaves. If you're like me and have lots of leaves to rake up, get yourself a set of these, or something like them. These hands are surprisingly worthwhile. I bought these because the price was great, and I was just dipping my toes into the pool, unsure they were going to be worth it. Now that I know they are, I would not be afraid to spend 30 to 40 bucks on a fantastic set. I don't know if other brands are better than these. These work fine. I'm just saying whatever they cost, they're worth it. And so far, these inexpensive ones seem to be holding up well. Just don't abuse them.
