The 9 Best Leaf Scoops for 2021

What Are Leaf Scoops

Raking leaves into a pile is the easy part. Picking up leaves and transferring them into a bag is another story. Many people struggle with this step during fall cleanup as they try to place leaves into a bag using their hands, a rake with their hands, or another inefficient method. This can be an extremely frustrating and time-consuming process.

Fortunately, there is a better solution for picking up leaves. Leaf scoops are plastic mitt-like scoops that are placed on both hands. They create a large surface area as an extension of your hands to make it easier to pick up a pile of leaves, sticks, mulch,  or other material. They protect your hands from potentially getting dirty, wet, and from insect bites.  They provide an excellent way to save time and energy so you can quickly get back to enjoying your day.

Before we get into our list of the best leaf scoops, check out the below video which provides a quick demonstration on how they work. There are several people who believe these are gimmicky before they see them in action. However, once they use them, they realize that the scoops can be a huge time saver.

These rugged poly leaf scoops are 14.625 wide by 12.5 inches long. Their size makes them very manageable to operate without getting in the way. They will allow a hand to easily fit into a compost bag or trash can to compact down the leaves. The manufacturer offers a limited lifetime warranty for this product, which speaks to its quality. We especially like the teeth on the ends of these scoops which allow for an easier pick of leaves and other material. The teeth are particularly useful when used to grab small leaves or debris.

Aspectek Lady Bug Shaped Leaf Scoops

These are our favorite leaf scoops in terms of having a fun design. However, don’t let the cute ladybug fool you, these do the job they are intended to do. They are not small either at dimensions of 15 inches x 12 inches x 2 inches.  A neat little feature is a hole at the top of the scoops that allows you to hang them from a nail, hook, screw, or another method. The red color makes these difficult to lose in the grass or scrubs.

Leaf Claws Model 9755

These would technically be classified as claws rather than scoops, but they serve a similar purpose. The long reach design helps alleviate some of the physically effort involved in the bending required to pick up leaves and other debris. Despite the size of these claws, they weigh only about two pounds. Most people should be able to easily maneuver these around their yard with little hassle. If you have ever tried to use two traditional rakes together to pick of leaves, you probably experienced a great deal of frustration.
