Earthwise 50002 Gator Grabber Telescoping Leaf Clean-Up Tool, Green/Black

I'm a gadget guy, so I had to try this product. Having a back injury, it's difficult to bend over or kneel to pick up yard debris.......but no need to now with this thing! It's designed to open and close like a pair of scissors and has handles that can be adjusted to your height and comfort. I raked out my garden beds with aged mulch, leaves and shrubbery clippings. I then easily scooped up all the debris and put it into a wheelbarrow. The paddles that scoop the clippings are designed like a rake that interconnect to allow you to pick up debris as small as a pebble. After cleaning up the debris, three sweeps with a rake and the remaining dirt is mixed into the grass. It is even sturdy enough to pick up clumps of sod that the snow plow dug up. It works best when picking up debris from the grass as opposed to the sidewalk, so i just rake everything onto the lawn now. No more getting stuck with thorns from rose bush clippings or the sharp needles from pines and junipers. Great product!

So glad I bought this, it makes leaf clean up so much easier. It can pick you a good amount of leafs, holds them tightly while you empty it into a grass bag/bin. It’s well made and helps save time doing yard work. Super easy to assemble. Handles adjustable with is great.

It definitely worked well and grabs a lot of leafs. It made getting them bagged a lot easier. The handles did keep slipping which was annoying. Ar some point the black knob came off so it came apart. I thought it worked pretty good except for not staying in position & the knob coming off. I'm 66, 5'3 and 3 back surgeries so my upper body strength isn't the best. It was a little heavy for me after a while and my back was hurting because of that. Wish it was aluminum and not as heavy. Fix the handle issue, which lots of people mentioned and make it lighter and I would give it 5!

Love it.

Total game changer. Get one . Perfect exercises without loosing your back

Everybody get you one of these! It kept me from having to bend over to pick up leaves. I did rake the leaves into a larger pile so I could pick up more at once, but that wasn't necessary, it was my choice. A small complaint is I had a hard time locking the handles when they were extended. It took more strength than I had to twist them tight enough to stay. That's a minor issue which didn't preclude me using the tool and the ease with which I used it.

Great idea and product ! Easy to use . Im in love with this tools

First the good: This is a well thought out tool design. Even with its flaws, it makes picking up wet leaves MUCH easier. I live in the Pacific Northwest, and I been using this tool almost every day since it was purchased. Now the bad: The execution of the design is not as good. As already reported by others, the locking mechanism on the adjustable handles doesn't lock well. It started working well, but after the ninth of tenth use, I was unable to get the handles to lock in place. I tried cleaning the inside handle, but no improvement. I'm considering drilling several holes through both handles and bolting a pin through a hole in each handle to secure it in place. After many uses, I've determined that adjustability is less important to me than ensuring the handles stay in place at that "ideal" length. A great fix would be to use spring-loaded pins that would pop through a number of holes in each handle. You could adjust the handle length my pressing the pin down and sliding the outer handle up or down through the appropriate hole. Once the pin pops through the hole, the handle will not slide until pressed down again. Again this is a good tool that could become a GREAT tool with just a bit more engineering.

The "lock" for the telescopic length adjustment is weak... while using the grabber one or both sides unlock easily. An easy fix is to wrap some electicians tape around the joint. That's my only complaint. They sure save your back picking up the raked leaves.

Génial quand ma petite fille nous aide à ramasser herbes et feuilles c est magique pour elle et très facile d utilisation pour nous aussi d ailleurs il évite de nous baisser non stop

Beste Erfindung seit der Harke. Endlich kann ich Laub aufsammeln ohne mich bücken zu müssen, auch das Laub aus den Kellerschächten zu holen geht sehr gut.

Bra grep för gräs och löv för att lägga säckar exepelvis. Spar ryggen.

très pratique à l'usage
