AMES Leaf Grabber Rake with Long Handle & Cushioned Grip for Leaves, Lawn Clippings, Twigs, Yard Waste

I have seen a number of people use this for yard cleanup as well as some professionals. It was easy to assemble, required no tools and only took about 2 minutes. The handles are made from painted metal and has some textured grip material where you put your hands. The base scoops are made from a slightly pliable plastic. The material feels strong and size it will flex a little, it should work great for picking up leaves, sticks and other yard materials without breaking. My original concern was that the plastic would be hard and have a tendency to break off small pieces of plastic when it grabbed a tick or a rock the wrong way. I don't think this will happen. It should give a little and I would expect it to last for years unless you mistreat it by running it over with the lawn mower. So far, I am very pleased with it. JohnnyF

Arrived as stated and very happy.will be great when dethatching lawns and autumn leaves piles. Back saving

I like performing yardwork. However my back cannot bend over without difficulty. These were the perfect solution. I’m able to remain fully standing and use the grabbers to pick up yard waste. They seem well made for the cost. This is my second summer with them. And they are still working great.

Really nice leaf grabber (also works very well for grass clippings). I think if you treat it right and aren't too ramy with it, it should last for years. Really nice to not have to bend over a million times when doing yard clean up.

I ordered this for my 80 year old father who recently got into doing yard work. He is very happy with the quality and ease of use of this Grabber. His yard has a lot of live oaks, which drop relatively small leaves, and he says it picks them up well. Assembly out of the box was also easy. So far, we'd definitely recommend this item - I may even pick one up myself!
