- 36" Lightweight Aluminum
- 3-1/2" Jaw Opening
- Cushioned Grip Handles
- Corrosion-Resistance
The Leonard Clean-Up Caddy is the simple tool that keeps cleanup from turning into a bending contest. At 36 inches long, it lets you collect litter from a standing position, and the 3-1/2 inch jaw opening is wide enough for bottles and cans while still being precise for small scraps. The aluminum construction keeps it light in your hand but tough enough for rough use, and it won’t rust when it lives in a truck bed or near a jobsite. We recommend it for anyone doing routine property cleanups, especially around fences, ditches, and planting beds where you don’t want to reach in by hand.
What makes this style work is the control. The metal guides between the arms keep the tongs from crossing over, so each squeeze lines the jaws up the same way and you don’t “miss” the grab. It opens back up automatically when you relax your grip, which speeds up repetitive pickup. Since it’s all metal, it’s also handy around fire rings and burn piles when you need to move something hot without ruining a plastic grabber.

Product Tips
- Use a light squeeze for paper and cans; over-gripping can crumple lightweight trash and make it harder to release.
- For heavier items, grab closer to the center of the jaws for better balance.
- When working in shrubs, approach from above and let the jaws slide down onto the item before closing.
- Rinse off grit occasionally so the action stays smooth and the jaws close cleanly.
- Store it hanging or flat so the arms don’t get bent in a crowded truck or shed.
FAQs
What can it pick up?
It’s designed for cans, bottles, paper, and general litter. It’s precise enough to pick up small items and strong enough for heavier debris.
How to use the Leonard Clean-Up Caddy?
Hold the tool like oversized tongs, position the jaws around the item, then squeeze the cushioned grips to grab it. Carry to your bag or bin, then relax your grip to release—no extra levers needed. The tool springs back open automatically for the next pickup.
Will the arms twist or cross over?
No. Metal guides between the arms prevent crossover, which keeps the grab consistent and controlled.
Can it be used for hot objects?
Yes. The all-metal construction makes it suitable for handling hot items, which can be useful around a fire pit or burn area.
What warranty does it include?
It’s covered by A.M. Leonard’s one-year warranty against manufacturer defects under normal use.
