I ordered this set of leaf-pickers (which came promptly and well-packed) and began to use them with delight - up come the leaves without bending over. Fabulous. But after only a couple of uses, the angles of the arms started to alter so that the grabber ends were not parallel. I straightened them a few times but, within one week of use, the single screw that holds the two arms together sheared and the arms fell apart. The flaw is that the arms are single lengths and can therefore only be secured by one screw. This allows the arms to come out of alignment easily and, if corrected, stressed the screw until it breaks. There are versions of these leaf-grabbers which have a frame on each side - I can see now these would be a stronger design to purchase. I have ticked 'no' on good quality above, not because the item was poorly made but because the design is flawed.Read full review

Overall it is good . It is light in weight and easy to use. It is important to use gentle presure when gripping the leaves, as that is all that is required. The bolt that acts as a hinge is of very mild steel and only lasted less than an hour, before snapping. If you replace it with a hardened steel bolt it works fine.

This product is of excellent quality and it makes the task of collecting leafs off the lawn so easy. Highly recommended.
