I love this little tool. This is exactly what I needed. I have arthritis and need to use a walker, so I have a hard time holding a broom to sweep. Sometimes I need something to pick up the crumbs I throw on the floor. It's so light I can easily use it with one hand and it's long enough to reach the floor. Picks up crumbs with no problem. Loads fast. What impressed me. This has nothing to do with the product. All instructions on the packaging are preceded by the word "please".
