CKLT 17-Tine Garden Rake, Heavy Duty Bow Rake with 62" Adjustable Stainless Steel Handle, Tempered Spring Steel Tines for Lawns, Loosening Soil, and Yard Work, Orange

easy to put together. head has play even though bolts are tight. not a huge problem. this thatch rake tore the compact ground in my duck pen with surprising ease. it was a huge relief. minimal effort to loosen the over inch thick layer of dirt. tines seem very sturdy; very strong. made light work of a hard job. i love this rake!!! used it to move compost material as well. great construction, just add a washer on each side upon assembly. (not included). has a thicker handle so you get a good grip. lightweight. would be great to move sand, mulch, small rocks etc.

The front end on this thatch rake is very sturdy %26 wide, it has a 4-piece handle that can be made shorter. I needed a thatch rake to try and get rid of a woody grass that trips you because it spreads low to the ground and has long arms. It is very hard to get rid of because the mower's blades don't really reach it and it is drought tolerant. This rake works great on it because of the thinness and direction of the tines. Putting the rake together took about 15 minutes. We also plan on using it to dethatch or lawn, in the garden, and for our mulch pile. For added safety during storage, I split a noodle and placed a piece on both tines because they are sharp. It would be good if the rake handle had a hanging loop, and if they had an aluminum snap on cover for the tines. This a very specific type of rake so do your homework as to what type of rake it is that you need for your lawn.
