Product Information

If you’re installing fence posts our selection of post hole diggers help to create narrow, even holes in the ground and feature non-slip handles for a secure grip.

Additionally, some rakes have extra features that make them easier to use. For example, rakes with telescoping handles allow you to change their length, while others have grips to prevent your hands from slipping during use. Other factors that affect a rake’s ease of use include its weight and head width. A rake that’s too large or too heavy can be cumbersome to handle. Testing Process A hand rake is a smaller version of a shrub or bow rake. It has a shorter handle and fewer tines, and it’s designed for use around smaller plants like vegetables and flowers. Its short handle gives you ultimate control of where the tines touch. MaterialFungus growth: Fungus grows in humid and cool conditions, which normally occur in the fall months when your leaves are on the ground. Fungus will start to grow in the leaves, infecting your lawn and creating yellow, white, or brown spots in the grass. You can use the expandable rake all-round the year to efficiently clean up dead grass, debris and leaves from gardens, lawns and flower beds. Even, it will help with getting rid of debris between bushes, shrubs and perennials. Shrub rakes are similar to lawn rakes, but they have a narrower head that can fit in tighter spaces, such as around bushes and along fences. Bow

The handle on this rake has grooves for better gripping and a rim to prevent your hands from slipping down the pole. We were also able to extend and shorten the pole’s length depending on our height and how far we wanted to reach. Our Score The telescopic handle permits the rake to extend from 31.5 to 63 inches in length to ensure lesser fatigue when using and for longer reach. If you’re looking for a versatile rake, consider one that weighs 2 or 3 pounds. Not only does this allow you to complete a variety of tasks, but it also prevents your arms from getting tired during use.

Leaves, pine straw, and other materials shouldn’t collect on the tines while you use the rake. Having to stop and clear your tines of materials can slow down your task and increase the time you spend in your yard. Ergonomics A rake’s head width refers to how far the tines on the rake fan out. Rakes with a wider head are good for clearing a lot of material at once, but if you’re doing more detailed work around plants, a rake with a smaller head may be a better option. Weight Our range of garden trowels are ideal for smaller digging and planting, such as moving potted plants or digging out weeds. For more heavy duty digging, we have a number of shovels and spades that come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, so you can find just what you need, no matter the size of your project, budget or expertise.

While customers said the product was heavy, they liked that most of the weight was in the head. They said that this allowed the head to break through compact soil without requiring too much force. However, some customers expressed a desire for the handle to be longer. Our ExperienceMost tines are made of metal or plastic. Metal tines are more durable, but they’re heavier and tend to make garden rakes more expensive. Rakes with plastic tines aren’t as durable as metal rakes, but they’re more affordable and lightweight. Occasionally, you’ll find tines made of resin that give you the durability of metal and the flexibility of plastic. Head Width

Rakes can weigh less than one pound or more than four. Their weight depends on their size and the materials used in their construction. Lighter rakes are good for tasks like raking dry leaves, while heavier rakes are good for heavy-duty tasks like moving dirt or leveling sand. Each rake performed the task it was designed for. We included leaf, shrub, and bow rakes in this review, so the leaf rakes raked leaves, the shrub rakes collected pine straw, and the bow rakes raked dirt. Tine BuildupFlooding: A layer of leaves can prevent excess water from draining, which can cause your grass to become waterlogged and cause flooding in your home. Due to the size and nature of some items, we're unable to despatch them via our usual delivery services. After finishing our tests, we rated each rake based on its ease of use and comfort using a scale of 1-5. Extra features like adjustability and grip material, along with the handle’s length and the head’s width, factored into the ease of use score. The comfort score was based on how tired our arms and hands felt after performing each task. Scoring
