Nobody has ever enjoyed this job. The most you can ask of a tool is that it takes thirty seconds instead of five minutes, and that you never touch anything.
Why this one
A sweeping claw rakes the whole thing into the bag rather than trying to scoop underneath it, which is why it works on short grass, gravel, a kennel floor and frozen snow alike. Steel built, worked one handed, and it takes any household bag, so there is no proprietary refill to run out of on a Sunday.
You never touch it
Clip the bag in, work the lever, then pull the clip to drop the full bag straight into the bin. No bending and no kneeling. There is a hanging hole in the handle, so it lives on a hook in the garage instead of leaning in a corner.
Small dog or large
The same tool handles both, at home or on a walk, and the long handle means you stay upright either way.
What it wants
It works best when the grass is short and dry. Long wet grass is harder for any rake style tool, this one included.
How to use it
- Loop the bag through the clip, fold it over about 3 inches, and clip it into place.
- Slide the lower yellow lock up, rotate the handle a quarter turn, then slide the lock back down.
- Squeeze the hand lever and slide the upper clip out about half an inch to release the sweeping claw.
- With the claw extended, set the tool mouth in front of the target.
- Tilt forward so the claw gets underneath it.
- Squeeze the hand lever to flick it into the bag.
- Pull the bag clip away from the mouth to drop the bag. Replace it when it is half full.
