With a name from the Jurassic period but a design firmly in the present, the Grab-o-Saurus shows no signs of becoming extinct because it's so useful for clearing up leaves and garden debris. Tipping the scales at a mere 1.6kg, one of the two super-strong glass reinforced nylon paddles has reinforced teeth which helps grab the vast majority of garden rubbish. And as waste is grabbed from above, there's no more bending down to tidy up - your back and knees will be extremely grateful!
• Measures 100cm/39” long x 33cm/13” wide
• Strong aluminium handles
• Super-strong glass reinforced nylon paddles are very durable and easy to clean
• Row of teeth on one paddle aids collection of material
• Weighs only 1.6kg
• Easy to operate scissor action
• Ideal for collecting horse manure, prickly or thorny prunings, hedge trimmings, grass clippings, leaves - any garden waste in fact!
What The Experts Say...
"This is the sort of garden aid that you can adapt to your needs and can be used in any type of garden. If backache is a problem or you've got some thorny customers in the border then it should prove invaluable"
Julia Heaton, Amateur Gardening, July 2009
"Bad backs are all too common among gardeners, which is not surprising given the amount of bending that has to be done. Although at first sight a bit gimmicky, the Grab-O-Saurus could well prove essential to many gardeners as it can lift loads of plants, hedge and tree cuttings, garden produce and much more.
The two long handles complete with teeth on one of the paddles provide quite a lot of grip and allow you to lift up much more than you might expect from a tool of this kind.
Best used from a standing position, I found it ideal for lifting up large chunks of grass clippings, leaves and other debris to put in barrows; also for removing the contents from barrows into composters.
The Grab-O-Saurus measures 1m (3ft) long and weighs 1.6kg."
