Practical Products, a veteran and family-owned business, showcased The ANT as a tool for yard cleanup.
“I’m incredibly grateful for all the positive feedback we’ve received,” said Aaron Farrer. “What started as a solution I dreamed up while working for my dad’s lawn service has now helped over a thousand people make their yard work easier—especially during the busy fall season.”
The ANT simplifies the labor-intensive task of moving yard waste and is a USA-made, heavy-duty tarp dragging tool that makes transporting yard debris faster, safer and easier. With the changing of leaves comes the often dreaded fall cleanups, but The ANT eliminates the need for bending over and awkward tarp dragging, saving labor and making yard cleanup more efficient.
Anyone familiar with the traditional method of laying out a tarp, filling it with leaves or yard debris and dragging it across a yard knows how physically demanding the process can be. With The ANT, users simply clip the tool into the tarp’s grommets, lean into the padded harness and walk upright—moving materials like a truck and trailer, all without using fuel.
Key benefits of The ANT include:
- Environmentally friendly: Operates without fuel or noise, reducing emissions and saving energy.
- Labor-saving: Gets the job done faster than leaf blowers alone by hauling larger, heavier piles of debris.
- Ergonomic design: The padded harness and upright pulling position reduce strain on the back, making yard work safer and easier.
- Veteran support: A portion of revenue goes toward supporting veterans through charitable partner, HeroHut.
