Trash Pickup Tool Makes Pool and Backyard Cleanup Easier

Most homeowners want their yards to look manicured as well as neat and tidy. This usually means continuous pickup and a lot of work. A trash pickup tool can make that work a lot easier, especially in the backyard and around the pool. A trash pickup tool is an extended reach tool that allows individuals to pick up things out of their reach, or to pick things up from the ground without constantly having to bend over. It’s a handy tool and a great investment; something everyone should have in their storage closet or outdoor shed.

Cleaning Up the Pool with a Trash Pickup Tool

A trash pickup tool is a great way to pick up debris from the pool, from leaves and pine needles to discarded toys. You can easily reach these items in the pool without having to get in, and the grabber tool provides more control for cleaning than a typical pool net. It’s also a great way to grab toys or items on the bottom of the pool without having to go under the water. A trash pickup tool is a great way to grab things when you’re already inside the pool as well, whether it’s a cold drink, sunscreen, or goggles for your little one.

Cleaning Up the Pool Area

While it works great for cleaning the actual pool, a trash pickup tool is also a great way to keep the area around the pool clean. A well-used pool area often needs regular cleaning in order to look great. Whether you’re picking up soda cans, litter or other debris, the trash pickup tool makes it easy and minimizes bending. This saves you from the back pain and strain that often happens with this type of labor. It’s also a great way to weed floral areas around the pool without having to bend down or get on your knees. So, having a trash pickup tool is a great way to keep the decorative areas around the pool immaculate.

Other Backyard Uses for the Trash Pickup Tool

In addition to the pool and pool area, owners of a pickup tool can use it for various things in the backyard. From hanging decorations without having to pull out the ladder to picking up debris in the yard, this type of grabber tool is invaluable. Homeowners can use the extended reach tool to retrieve and hang bird feeders, remove trash from shrubs and trees, hang lights and other holiday décor, and much more. This kind of tool prevents individuals from having to use ladders, which helps prevent accidents as well.

If you have a pool, it’s a great idea for you to utilize a trash pickup tool. Having one handy both inside and outside the house can help make large jobs a lot easier.

Grapplers Reaching Tool Tops Folding Version of the EZ Reacher

When using a reaching tool to perform chores around the house or duties outside the house, individuals should be able to trust that the reaching tool is sturdy and dependable. According to customers who have utilized the EZ Reacher that folds, it’s just not as sturdy as it should be. Alternatively, the Grappler holds strong and stays dependable during use. This is very important no matter what type of chores the user is performing.

The Difference between the EZ Reacher and Grappler

There are quite a few differences between the EZ Reacher and the Grappler, especially when it comes to extending. The EZ Reacher folds down for easy storage while the Grappler is a solidly built reaching tool that is available in different sizes for when you need a longer or shorter version. The EZ Reacher features “suction cup” grips and the Grappler has flexible “fingers” that easily grab items of varying shapes and sizes. Finally, the EZ Reacher’s handle is formed like a trigger while the Grappler’s handle works much the same, except it has finger cutouts for a better grip.

Weakness with the EZ Reacher

The flaw in EZ Reacher’s design comes in where it folds for storage. When extended, rather than having one strong, continuous shaft the way the Grappler does, the joint on the EZ Reacher becomes a weakness. Because there is a point of weakness, the EZ Reacher flexes or can bend and break at the joint. In fact, one customer had the EZ Reacher break on the second day of use when trying to pick up a 19 ounce can.  The customer said, “The part that broke is made of blue plastic and is apparently a weak spot between the two ends which are made of metal…” Other customers have said that when they try to pick something up, the EZ Reacher folds during use.

Why the Grappler is So Much Stronger

The Grappler is created from aluminum and made in the USA. There are no weak areas on the shaft of the Grappler reaching tool, which makes it ideal for picking up heavier items. In fact, customers praise it for being one of the strongest reaching tools created. Customers say things like, “The Grappler tool is made from heavier, stronger materials than most reaching tools,” and, “It has a wide mouth and a strong grip, and the shaft is rugged enough not to bend under quite a bit of weight.”

Conclusion

While the EZ Reacher may be a great household tool to use for very lightweight items, it’s not a safe bet when it comes to anything weighing over just a few ounces. Those who are looking for a great quality reaching tool to pick up kitchen items like cans, dishes, pots or outdoor work like picking up litter and trash should stick with the Grappler. Proven tough and strong enough to handle big jobs, the Grappler consistently outshines its competitors and performs well with all sorts of tasks.

The Grappler is created from aluminum and flexible rubber parts and is made in the USA.

The Benefits of Owning Pick Up Tools

Most people do not go to the store or to an online shop with the intention of purchasing a pick up tool. However, it is something that ends up being a valuable item for everyone who purchases it. There are numerous benefits of owning pick up tools, and they can be used by virtually anyone. Understanding some of their uses can help outline the benefits and advantages.

Seniors and Disabled Individuals

Pick up tools are extremely helpful for seniors or disabled individuals who are wheelchair bound and who have a limited reach. The tools can be used to gain access to things otherwise unavailable for these individuals. From something as simple as grabbing a remote control from the top of a television set to getting the phone from the countertop in an emergency, these tools provide independence and control. They make day-to-day living a lot easier for individuals who otherwise would not be able to access the things they need without help.

Safety

Pick up tools are very helpful when it comes to maintaining safety during certain jobs. They allow individuals to pick up items that might be unsafe for their hands to touch, such as garbage. These tools can be used to maintain safety while cleaning the yard, sorting through recycling items, and handling other jobs. Pick up tools make jobs like this much easier to accomplish without compromising health and safety.

Volunteering

Pick up tools are wonderful for “adopt a highway” teams and volunteers who pick up garbage and waste along highways and roads. With tools like the Grappler, individuals never have to touch the item they are picking up. In fact, it does not even come anywhere near their hand. Organizations and companies can benefit by providing their volunteer workers with pick up tools to easily remove debris and garbage from road sides and medians. Pick up tools work by allowing individuals to grab virtually anything (paper trash, larger debris, etc) and deposit it into a bag without ever placing a hand on the garbage that has been picked up.

Company Use

For those who have difficulty getting items from a top shelf or storage area, pick up tools can be a very valuable item to have in stock. Individuals can simply grab the pick up tool and add up to 96-inches to their reach. This eliminates the need for step stools and ladders that could become a potential hazard or workman’s compensation suit. Pick up tools are able to grab almost everything, from items as small as a toothpick to larger items, like 24-ounce bottles of liquid or awkward boxes. Companies can benefit greatly from having pick up tools on hand.

While it might not be the first thing an individual thinks of when they are out shopping, they will come to rely on pick up tools and be extremely thankful that they have one or more around to handle tough reaching jobs and to pick up less than desirable items.
