First, rake your leaves, yard and garden waste into piles with a metal or plastic rake. Then use the Clamshell Gripper to pick up and load the waste into a paper or plastic bag or trash can. The Clamshell Gripper also becomes an effective ram to pack the waste down without any foot stomping. All the while, you keep your hands clean, free from the waste.
The Clamshell Gripper has two rows of rake-like teeth at the edge allowing you to pick up a variety of waste including grass clippings, leaves, thatch, pine cones and pine needles. This unique long handled garden tool has much greater volume capacity than a clamping rake.
Plan to use the long handled Clamshell Gripper in both the spring and fall for yard and garden cleanup tasks. Also, a Leaves in Bags System makes a fine gift for friends and family members, to help save them time and back bending work.
The Clamshell Gripper materials are all impact and corrosion resistant. The Bag Support Sleeve is a ’green’ product made from recycled milk bottles. Just coil this flat sheet sleeve and insert it inside the bag to hold it up and open. It also protects the bag from being punctured by twigs and branches.
