Rakes. Who's using what.

BR600 blower ! And a Wolf Plastic if I have to use a rake!

About the only rakes I rake with me are the springy leaf rakes. And with fiberglass handles, because its hollow fiberglass.

 

Wood grain splits.

 

I don't like fiberglass on shovels because its solid and heavy.

 

But those springy leaf rakes - I like the way they skim the surface, especially on fine gravel paths, leaving the small stone behind.

Spear and Jackson neverbend plastic leaf rake.

 

Ive had the same one for 4 years now and as long as they are kept out of the sun when not in use they dont get soft.

Just the right stiffness for what we do.

 

I use a cheap adjustable spring tine rake as well it works really well for clearing prunings out of shrub beds.

im with stevie on this though a slight scrape with the rake then 120mph tidy up blown under anything that stands still long enough.

 

 

I live by that rule when tidying up
