Weak measurements introduced by Aharonov, Albert and Vaidman (AAV) can provide informations about the system with minimal back action. Weak values of product observables (commuting) or higher moments of an observable are informationally important in the sense that they are useful to resolve some paradoxes,realize strange quantum effects, construct density matrices, etc. In this work, we show that it is possible to access the higher moment weak values of an observable using weak values of that observable with pairwise orthogonal post-selections. Although the higher moment weak values of an observable are inaccessible with Gaussian pointer states, our method allows any pointer state. We have calculated product weak values in a bipartite system for any given pure and mixed pre selected states. Such product weak values can be obtained using only the measurements of local weak values (which are defined as single system weak values in a multi-partite system). As an application, we use higher moment weak values and product weak values to reconstruct unknown quantum states of single and bipartite systems, respectively. Robustness of our method which occurs due to inappropriate choices of quantum observables and noisy post-selections is also discussed here. Our method can easily be generalized to the multi-partite systems.
