Customer Reviews: Nice rake for close quartersDecember 9, 2009 Comdet 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have to admit that I got this at a close-out sale at a big box store. Picked it up on a lark due to the low cost, but have found that it is a useful tool to have, especially for getting under open-branched shrubs and rose plants.
I have a similar rake that has an extendable handle (made by Corona - see my other reviews if you're interested) which is good for dense shrubs so you don't get tangled up in them when pulling out leaves. This, however, is excellent for close-quarter work when you have easy access. Also easy to keep on hand in the tool bucket I carry around when doing yard work.
The tines are metal and very flexible. That's a good thing, since it minimizes/prevents damaging the shrub should you rake over it. However, it makes it somewhat cumbersome when trying to extract big clumps of wet leaves.
Nice handle, comfortable to use. Good construction and a good value.
