Draper DRA82899 Tools LG/HD Leaf Grabber, groen met grijze handgrepen

Super Ware.

These grabbers are not available in North America-they shipped from the UK. Shipping was very fast, came more than a week before expected. Very happy with my purchase.

Impeccable pour moins fatiguer le dos. Permet de mettre une grande quantité de feuilles à la fois. Facile d'utilisation, solide. Rangement pratique.Je recommande sans hésiter !

It was great at picking up leaves, and all sorts of gardening cuttings

Firstly, delivery & packaging left a bit to be desired, but this is a review of the product, so I won’t factor those issues in here.I usually don’t review a product immediately, as I feel I have to live with it awhile, and also get an idea of its longevity. However, as it’s “leaf season”, I thought I’d waive that rule. So…We live next to a wooded area, so our Autumns are a continual chore of collecting leaves, and previously it’s a PITA and a pain in the back.After a couple of days use after a major storm has removed most of the leaves from the trees: this thing really does grab the leaves! Not only on tarmac, but also surprisingly on grass as well, while I also realised that you could use it to scrape leaves into a heap in order to get a fuller “grab”. Oh, and I decided to get a manual grabber rather than a powered leaf vacuum as so many reviews of those said they were useless with wet leaves. This has no issue with wet leaves at all.Other leaf grabbers I’ve seen reviewed have complained about lack of teeth on the grabbers, which I can see would be a problem when trying to scrape up especially wet leaves or when using on grass. This one has teeth, which no doubt adds to its performance. Also, reviews of other grabbers have complained about the flimsiness of the plastics used, but this one seems very sturdy.The handles have sponge padding, which aids grip, and also the grabbers are set at an angle, which makes use easier as you don’t have to be leaning over it to keep the arms vertical.And finally (!), given that I’m offloading into a full-size wheels bin, the thing is light enough to continue doing so without strain, with me stopping only when the bin was full.I wouldn’t have thought there would be so much to say about such a simple bit of kit, but this is such a step up from previous years of brushing leaves and bending down to scoop them that I’m really enthusiastic about tackling our leaf collection chore this year.Let’s just hope its longevity stands up to it….
