Rake, 17 Tines with 49 Inch Handle, 17 Inch Wide Heavy Duty Garden Thatch Leaf Rake for Raking Leaf Loosening Soil Gathering Mulch Leveling Rocks, Rustproof Metal Bow Rakes for Leaves Grass

The rake comes in small pieces, but is easy assembled and works really well

I’m throughly impressed with my new rake. It came in pieces, but they all screw on together very tight and you’d never know this was not a one piece take. Super strong!

This rake is a very compact

This rake has a nice weight to it which helps shift some of the work to the rake. I'm very satisfied with this rake.

Nice

Rake comes in several pieces that screw into each other. Very easy assembly, once assembled, it works great. It does very well in raking leaves, or other heavier duty work. It appears well built, and I think it will last quite a while.

I ordered this bow rake for cleaning out our creek - we have a creek that runs through our property, and while it sounds great, this thing fills up with some kind of creek weed that has to be cleaned out every 3-4 weeks during the warmer months. We had a cheap bow rake from the local hardware store that finally broke, so the double sided rake head on this rake was an attractive feature as I was looking for a replacement.I ordered the 63" version, and on the first use I noticed an improvement over the old rake. This bow rake comes in multiple pieces, and the metal sections screw into plastic connectors. I am a little worried about the longevity of the plastic pieces, but since we only use it 10-12 times a year hopefully it holds up. My hands did periodically rub against the connectors but with gloves on it didn't bother me too much.I used the long tines on the bow rake to pull the weeds out of the creek, then the short tined side to scrape the bottom of the creek to loosen the roots from the creek bed with the hope that doing so would keep it from growing back so fast. The long tines didn't work as well for dredging the bottom, but the shorter, wider tines were great for that. I can't say how this bow rake works for other uses, but for my use it was great (see the before/after pictures for an idea of just how backed up our creek gets from the weeds). At $20 (after the extra coupon savings at the time of this review) this is a good tool to have in the shed.

Nice to be able to change the length, and shorten it when needed. The head seems good quality, sturdy and well made.
