  • Clearing drains full of leaves and twigs after a storm. Also came across water draining where no drain should be and creating an unexpected waterfall. Please note new rake!!

    Gotta get you a tripod or some type of stand so you can pop the camera down to use both hands. Save your own effort and probably frustration. It's also painful for us at home to watch one handed rake struggles! Haha. Love the video!! I wonder how many more of us are walking around with rakes in our cars now.
