Gardman Long Handled Leaf Grabber

Product Information

There are other grabbers which have a long-handle. This type of grabber does not require any bending over. This grabber has a simple design, with no unnecessary frills. It is made with green powder-coated metal handles. The metal used here is steel and keeps the grabber from rusting when it is stored for some time. It is a hollow steel tube which keeps the overall weight of the grabber light. The handles have a soft foam grips covering to provide comfort while holding the grabber. The grabbing parts are made using reinforced plastic blades. It is made with durable materials that can last for many years without any breakage. Most of the main long handled weeders work with a foot pedal – some have a twist and pull mechanism. They both work in completely different ways exerting pressure on different parts of the body. For example, my trusty Fiskars is great if I am looking to use my legs and keep as much of the pressure off my hands as possible. This is because thee pedal is the point of pressure to dig into the Earth. By contrast, if you have a problem with your feet or knees then you may prefer the weight and pressure to run through your hands and arms – if this is the case then you want to take a look at the Orientools review – this is perfect for such a scenario.

Pros Both types of grabbers have different set of advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the grabber is ultimately dependent on your requirements and ultimately preference.
