Cait thinks you might coerce neighbor kids into helping you clean up your yard if you were to offer them these Bear Claw Scoops, which look like more fun than a regular rake.

If your neighbors’ kids are like ours, they will disappear with the job half done. (That’s because Marty — aka The Sucker — always pays them in advance, so they have no reason to stay.)

If that happens and the cleanup all comes back on you, these Bear Claws not only pick up a large amount of debris but they have supports over the back of the wrist to increase hand strength and stability.

Cait also has her sights set on this Rolling Leaf Sweeper which, as she says, “Sure looks like it beats the hell out of raking.”

And don’t forget about the Power Rake we previewed in an earlier post. The Power Rake’s design lets you work the rake without having to lift it as much as a traditional rake.
