Bag Leaves Without The Bending
By Benjamen Johnson
The makers of the SnapBagger claim that it out-performs most other methods of bagging leaves. You can rake leaves into it like a dustpan, scoop leaves from the ground, or load leaves into it while somebody else holds it, like you might already do.
Constructed from steel sheet metal and powder-coated to resist corrosion, the SnapBagger weighs only 3 pounds. Most 33-gallon and larger lawn and leaf bags will fit over the SnapBagger’s triangular head. A bungee fits into a channel around the head, holding the bag in place. When you’re done bagging leaves and ready to go grab a cold one, the SnapBagger disassembles with a few quick-release buttons and folds up to about the size of a pizza box.
You can purchase the SnapBagger from the corporate site for $25 plus $10 shipping.

This is a great idea particularly for elderly people or people who has a bad back

Can you attach decomposable yard waste bags to it? From the shape I’m guessing not. I think I’ll stick to the paper bags and do a little knee bending.

Dumbest idea I’ve seen in a while. I happen to have a very bad back and the last thing I’d ever want to do is try to scoop up an entire bag of leaves on the end of a pole. Raking is bad enough. Leaf blowers/vacs rule!

Agree that if it doesn’t use the paper bags that it’s almost worthless. Any municipality I’ve seen requires yard bags (though I’m sure there are some out there that don’t, but for how long).
If I could outlaw blowers I would. I recognize there are legitimate uses and users, but there are too many are guys chasing three leaves across their yard. The whine of the motors makes me crazy. I can’t be the only one. It’s annoying when you want to have your windows open in the summer time. Apparently they’re making advancements to make the motors quieter. Thank goodness. Leaf blowers aren’t toys guys. Use ‘em as needed. Put ‘em away. Then go grab a beer. We’ll all be happier.

First they came for the blowers, and I said nothing because I didn’t have a blower. Then they came for the chainsaws, and I said nothing because I didn’t have a chainsaw. Then they came for the string trimmer - and there was no one left to speak up.
