Foldable Litter Picker Tool: Pick Up Trash Without Bending

Stainless jaws that hold what you pick up

• Stainless jaws that hold on

  The brushed stainless arms close on a bottle, a wrapper or a fistful of leaves, and the black rubber pads at the tips keep the grip from slipping. Your hands stay an arm's length from whatever you pick up.

• Folds small, reaches far

  Folded, the tool measures 42 cm by 15 cm, short enough for a trunk or a day bag. Pulled out, the shaft reaches 80 cm, so you can clear a flowerbed or the far side of a fence line without moving your feet.

• Built on ribbed aluminum

  The ribbed aluminum shaft is light enough to hold at full extension through a whole yard walk. A black rubber strap runs along the shaft, and a hole in the handle lets you hang the tool on a hook in the shed.

Your first pickup, step by step

1. 1
   Extend the shaft

   Pull the ribbed aluminum shaft out to its full 80 cm reach before you start.

2. 2
   Close the jaws

   Squeeze the handle to bring the stainless jaws together around the item.

3. 3
   Pick from standing height

   Stand upright, line the rubber pads on the litter, and close the jaws firmly before you lift.

4. 4
   Drop it in the bag

   Open the jaws over a bag or bin and let the item fall in.

5. 5
   Fold and hang it up

   Fold the tool to 42 cm, wipe the jaws, and hang it by the strap hole.

Rinse, dry, and hang it up

• Rinse the jaws

  Rinse off soil and grit after a cleanup so it does not dry into the joints.

• Dry before storing

  Let the jaws and shaft air dry before you fold the tool away.

• Hang by the strap hole

  The hole in the handle keeps the tool off damp floors in the shed or car.
