Rake 55-inch Lightweight Fiberglass Handle, 21-inch Head, Durable Steel Tines for Gardening, De-Thatching or Professional Landscaping

I love this rake, it's very sturdy. And for pulling moss out of the lawn, it works much better than the standard dethatching rake I bought at Home Depot, which pulls out a lot of grass. Like any dethatch rake, it takes a lot of work to remove moss from a lawn so you wouldn't want to dethatch or remove moss from an entire lawn using it. But it's great for spot applications.

This is the only dethatching rake to use on an established yard. The tines get to the soil without harming the grass. Lifts the crud up for collection by a bagging mower. Add a large leaf rake and the combination is all the rakes needed.

I bought this to clean the crazy amount of pine needles in our yard. When I first opened this rake, I was worried it wouldn’t be strong enough. I was wrong, it is great. Strong, gets everything, and easy to clean out.

I like it. I used the other style of dethatching rake with the rigid blades and it worked but was more work to pull through the grass. This rake was lighter and easier, yielding the results I expected.

Pros: lightweight but still durable. Rakes pine needles with minimal clogging. Work well raking over rock landscaping. Replaceable parts available.Cons: Expensive. Tends to dig in or disrupt ground in current configuration. Pin used for attaching handle to head is a joke. With very little use it will cause hole in plastic head and/or fiberglass handle to become worn and loose. More plastic in that area of head is needed plus a bolt needs to go through to other side to make handle attachment secure.I bought this rake specifically for raking pine needles that fall over decroative rock landscaping. Needles clog up tines in all other rakes I have used. I need to point out that I modified the rake so the head is at a 30° angle to the handle. This places the tines at a less angle thus not digging up the rocks and less likely plug up with needles. I know this rake is on the pricey side but if the manufacturer would add an adjustable head to handle device. I also drilled the hole in the head through the underside and used 1/4" bolt and nut for a more stable attachment. Sorry, couldn't get a photo of modification to upload.

Easy to assemble. I would recommend it be used in very early spring, as it is very difficult to rake out old grass if there is any new green growth. Works best on dormant/dead grass - easier to se!

I have a thatching machine but I feel like it rips up way to much grass with the moss. I like this rake because it doesn't seem to destroy the existing grass. I live in western Washington, we get lots of rain therefore lots of moss in our lawns, it is a constant battle in this state if you try to have a nice lawn.I have not seen a rake like this sold at any store before and I happened to come across it here and ordered it. It does take a long time to ship but I believe it is due to the popularity of this tool. The reviews saying the handle is made cheaply is not correct, what I think it is they aren't assembling it correctly. It does not come with directions and comes in two separate pieces the rake and yellow handle with one piece of hardware to connect them. All you have to do is line up the hole in the handle with hole on the rake. Then shove the hardware in that looks like a nail as far in as you can get it, then set it down on a bench or stair like I did so the rake part is off the end and doesn't get damaged, then take a hammer and hammer in the nail part...and thats it, it should be attached securely.If you are using this for moss in your grass I won't lie it will be a lot of work. The best way I found is you have to make several passes in all different directions of the area. You have to rake in very small amounts as the rake will not pass very freely at first, but after you get most of the moss out it will start to pass through easier. I imagine if you keep up on your lawn and rake with this at least twice a year it should make for an easier chore in the future.
