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. These are another great option and I’ve had Bosmere garden tools before and they have always been very well made. Simply put the leaves in a black bin liner, moisten them if they are dry, and make some holes in the plastic with a garden fork. As the name suggests, you can wear the former in a glove-like fashion and protect your hands from wet leaves and slugs as you remove large handfuls of leaves from pathways.

I recently purchased a Darlac – Grab – N – Lift and it’s truly the best gardening implement that I’ve bought in years, I’m partially disabled with arthritis in my hip and other ailments and The Darlac Grab – N – Lift has made gardening so much easier, No more bending to pick up rubbish from sticks to weeds and grass I have now run out of things to pick up, I’m now waiting for Autumn to come as I have a massive tree in my back garden with thousands of leaves on it and I’ll have a great time using my Darlac Grab -N – Lift to pick them all up. It’s also worth noting it’s an ideal time to also make some leaf mould, which makes excellent soil conditioner. All the clean up work is made much easier ,and of course there’s no bending down involved , keep your body upright and lift the prunings without having to bend your back to pick them up.For more gardening tools, take a look at the best garden shears for trimming grass, shrubs and bushes, or our favourite lawn scarifiers.

This model features moulded grip handles for added comfort and they'd work particularly well for long hedge trimmings.

To make sure that you complete the task efficiently, it features extra wide toothed scoops for greater scooping capacity. Eliminating the need to bend, the sturdy 40cm (153 /4in) grabber blades are angled to pick up large amounts in one go, so you can simply transfer into a wheelbarrow, compost bin or garden waste bag. This is a leaf grabber whose handles are made of red powder-coated steel and overall build quality is great including the plastic scoops. Use this grabber to get hold of the leaves and other stray bits on your garden and lift it all into your collection bin or bag. The Draper DRA82899 Tools LG/HD Leaf Grabber, the Darlac Grab-N-Lift – Garden Leaf Grabber and the Bosmere N450 Long Handled Leaf Grab are all examples of some of the est stand-up leaf grabbers.
