Bending, kneeling, and squatting in the garden can take their toll on your body — especially if you suffer from joint pain or have recently had surgery.

Luckily, there are some cool new tools out there that minimize bending and stretching. For starters, check out the Gator Grabber from Radius, a company that makes ergonomic tools that ease pain and strain in the garden.

The Gator Grabber is exactly what it sounds like: a long-handled tool that allows you to grab leaves, logs, and stray sticks and move them from one location to another. Instead of bending down or squatting to collect garden debris, you remain comfortably standing and let the tool do the work.
