Funny you ask,

I just placed a big order at gemplers and this was part of that order

Looks to be decent to me so hopefully it will last some time

Sorry Classy,

I got that one, but also have another one, I think its called EZ Grabber. We like this one much better. It has like two fingers that are curved to fit coke cans and bottles. It picks up cig.butts with ease. I got it at my mower dealer last year and went to get some more a while back and he is now selling the ones that you are showing. I don't care for them but every one has his own likes and dislikes. You should look for this one, I think you will love it if you can find it. I will go look on line, if I find the site, I will post on here for you.

I FOUND IT!
It's called the "Nifty Grabber"
Just type it in your web search and check it out.
I'm telling you, I love mine.
The one that you all are talking about ( EZ grabber ) it has hard time picking up cig.butts, and the little round rubber disk on the ends fall off.

Just sharing with you, not putting you down.

e-z grabber is the best.I have used them all. I like the older style one that does not have the locking feature because its grip is stronger letting you pick up heavier things.cups are replacable they never come off mine.I clean parking lots at my retails with it and pick up hundreds of pieces of stuff on the fly with it and my 7-gal bucket.I can grab and regrab more than one piece before i put in bucket even as many as 3 cig butts at a time.cups will even slide in sidewalk exspansion cracks and rake out those ciggs that always seem to get in them.never really carry on mower ,pick up trash first or navigator gets it but the longer ones would be better for grabbing on mower.

I have used these alot at my uncles flea market to pick trash up from the lot and I can tell you From my Experience those nifty grabers work ten times better than the ones with the rubber disks. You can pick up the smallest things with the nifty grabbers. The ones with the rubber disks don't work that great.

I bought a grabber at Harbor Freight Tools for $4 and I like it so far. I've used it maybe 4-5 times on my only commercial account, and Pizza Hut located on the corner of a side street and a boulevard. There's a McD's across the side street and I feel like sending them a bill for all their ketchup and straws I pick up. I used to bag this yard, but I don't have a bag for the Cub Cadet, so I have to pick up stuff so I don't mulch it and spread it over the whole yard.

I bought a pair of the folding aluminum kind for $15 total and they have been a great time saver and save the equipment by not having to cut power to the belts constantly to get off.

I prefer the bending one, and as far as keeping it on the rider I just put a little bungy across the plate where your back heels/calves are and it holds it nice and snug there. The straight shaft would require a little more with mounting it somewhere without it getting in your way.

That looks just like the I have, and I think I paid about $20 for it. Last year at the show in Ky,I bought one of those others that they are talking about at the top of this thread, and my guys used it once and said they want the nifty grabber back, and I agree.

$20 and well worth it! IMOP.
