These are another great option and I’ve had Bosmere garden tools before and they have always been very well made. The idea is to use the rake-like end of the circular disc to rake the leaves into a pile, and them smoosh the leaves together between the two grabbers. While most leaf grabbers just let you pick up the leaves after you raked them into a pile, this one you Rake-Collect-Clear. We've included a mix of both leaf grabber designs in our roundup so you can find a suitable match for your needs and outdoor space. They easily grab a large amount of leaves without bending over and hold onto them well when lifting to dispose of them.

The long handles mean that there is no need for you to bend down and the strong, durable plastic blades pick up a large quantity without the need for you to use your hands. If you’ve visualised this, then you might have realised the downside to these hand rakes – you still have to bend down, unlike with the other grabbers I review and personally use.

While many of the blades have some semblance of teeth on their front edge or a kind of serrated edge, it’s not usually enough to pull the leaves into a pile.

A clever design and one to think about if you're fed up of suffering from backache after a day in the garden. Being a self employed gardener I was skeptical about long reach leaf grabbers thinking they would be flimsy and not able to pick up large amounts. Highly recommend My husband thought it was just a gadget, but had to eat his words as this ‘gadget’ ready does work. These leaf grabbers are designed so that you don’t have to bend over during the leaf-collecting process.Make light work of collecting leaves, grass cuttings and other debris with these long handled grabs.
