Amazing Rake Back Saving Garden Rake ― Leaf Rakes for Gardening ― Leaf Picker Upper ― Heavy Duty Leaves Claw & Rakes Lawns Garden Tool ― Easy Leaf & Grass Grabber Without Bending Over ― Yellow

It is a very useful garden tool for yard work. I used it to pick up leaves and I didn't have to bend over once. A great back saver.

This rake is everything it's promised to be. It rakes, picks up, and is definitely saving my old back. I use my big rake to make a pile, then I use the Amazing Rake (fittingly named!) to pick it all up. The rake side helps corral those straggler leaves back to a pile to pick up. Absolutely worth it. It's become one of the best things I've purchased for yard clean up.

Before the 'Amazing Rake' I used to use two snow shovels or a rake and a snow shovel to pick up leaf piles. The Amazing Rake simplifies the process and is much lighter the two implements. There is room for improvement, however. First, the capacity is rather small. The 18" width should be at least 24" and the belly (curve) of the two halves could be deeper. Second, the lock is pretty fussy. It works, but it's so hard to use, it's just not worth it. Finally, the teeth of the rake are not nearly as effective as a 'normal' rake. All in all, the Amazing Rake works as advertised, but needs a bit more refinement to make it worth the price.

I love this this thing. Only used it once so far so can’t speak to longevity, but picking up three 30-gallon bags worth of pine needles did not leave my back in shambles the next day. My recommendation is use a regular rake to make the piles then use this to transfer them to the bags, can use the rake end to clean up the piles too. Worked great. Only possible complaint I have is that the handle on the back can rotate independently of the pole itself. I pick up piles of pine needles in the yard then rotate the rake 90 degrees to dump them into the yard bags (as the rate is at least as wide or wider than the bag, felt like this was the best way to get all the needles into the bag). Since the handle isn’t locked in place, I had to grab the pike directly to rotate it, but it still worked perfectly fine doing that, so I’m very happy with it.

It was a little tough to put together, directions not that clear. Definately on the expensive side. works ok .

We have a huge yard with lots of trees, so we deal with tons of leaves, twigs and gumballs. We have a yard rake that attaches to the back of our riding lawnmower, but it still requires picking up the piles of leaves. I used to do it with the circular hand rakes which I thought were great, but that still requires bending over dozens of times and it was hard on my back. When I ran across this garden rake, I knew I had to try it and I’m so glad I did! It is a total game changer!! I had a ton of leaves that had piled up against the house and around the patio furniture over the winter months and was not looking forward to raking and picking up all those leaves. This awesome garden tool picked it up in no time with very little effort! I was able to easily reach into difficult-to-access places and pull out leaves, scoop them up and bag them. No more backbreaking bending over dozens and dozens of times to scoop up leaves!

I wanted to like this. It looked like a great invention... and it is. However, the hinge was a joke. In the first scoop, the two halves separated. I gave it a second try. This time, I read the instructions putting it together carefully, figuring I missed something. Nope. The hooks of the hinge fit into the catches only one way. Once reassembled, I picked up a clump of leaves and tried to hoist it into the wheelbarrow. this time, the slide handle pinched my finger as it came apart. Ok, the instructions said if you had trouble or needed information on how to put it together, go to the website, which I did. All that was there was an ad for the rake. The website gave no additional info. I found one picture while surfing around that showed the rake with a metal bar to lock the hingle of the jaws together. Wonderful idea! I searched the net in vain, thinking maybe Amazon was selling a counterfeit or an older model. No such luck. I never did find one with a better hingle. It's a shame. The tool, if it worked, would be a wonderful addition to my tool shed. As it is, I am back to using a flat snow shovel, which by the way does an ok job. I use a toy rake to hold the leaves to the shovel as I hoist the leaves. It works fairly well that way. Still, If the company would ever listen to these bad Amazon reviews, perhaps they would wise up and fix the issues before they go out of business. Other people had problems with the handle screw breaking off in the stem of the claw. They need to make that out of steel, aluminum, or at least a better grade of plastic. For almost $50 I would expect a more better product. Sad comment on this company.

These are the best thing since sliced bread! So easy to pick up a BUNCH of leaves, then turn it sideways and drop them into a bag. (Yes, get some type of bag holder that will hold the bag open.) My mom and I got one of these at a home show decades ago, and it finally gave out, so I was glad something like this was still available.
