Draper570mm Adjustable Garden Rake | Outdoor Leaf Gardening Hand Tool | Heavy Duty Tubular Steel Handle | Lawn Leveling Grass Rake | 21862

easy storage and light weight

I was pleasantly surprised when I opened the rake. The release handle allows it to extend, making it incredibly compact when folded. I don't have lots of storage space for garden equipment so am pleased with this.The price was exactly what I'd want to spend on something I will only use a few times in autumn too.I can't imagine what extra functionality rakes that are double or triple the price are offering - I only want something to get the leaves together with and this does it great.

I bought this to replace the same type of device i had been using for many years and, thankfully, this one looked and felt just as good quality.The wire 'prongs' are flexible so that they don't damage you lawn as you rake away, unlike some of the other type of rakes, and as the head can be spread quite wide, using the red locking lever, you can cover a wide area in one go, although if the 'prongs' are too wide then they won't rake anything up as the leaves will slip between them.The handle is lightweight and feels solid and, if my old one is anything to go by, should last quite d=soem time as i begin the caonstant battle with the autumn task of leaf collecting.As for delivery and price, thi scost a few quid with free delivery, it came wrapped in brown paper, which is recyclable, with the prong head being wrapped up very well indeed so as not to scratch anyone in transit.Well worth getting for the low price if you want to win the battle with those leaves

The appearance of this garden rake is … quirky - but once used in a variety of areas, some tight for a conventional rake [where this one is supreme in width changes, so easy] I would not go back. It is really light in use, yet sturdy and really easy for raking the lawn areas. OK, so too light for soil, but then not designed for these kind of roles. Simple to store, takes up little room - I like it and recommend it, as it has proven very effective at improving the lawn, and never a chore to use.

I've used this once to collect about 11 bags of thatch from a medium sized lawn that had just been scarified. It's light with a wide spread across the tines and seems to be of reasonable quality. The only problem so far is that one of the tines seems to bend easily but that may be down to the way I used it. Overall I think that this provides good value for money and is much more effective than the one it replaced.

I haven’t used this product more than a couple of times before the bad weather set in, but on the couple of occasions I have used I found it to be sturdy and very lightweight. Great for arthritic hands and very easy to use.

This is my 2nd one of these (gave the 1st to my daughter!). Very light, easy to use and I love the flexibility with the size adjustment. Not quite as good as the tougher 'Springbok' type for moss etc but overall an excellent product and not overpriced.

Overall 5 stars but I gave 3 stars for ‘sturdiness’. This is adjustable so can make the prongs narrow or wide depending on what job you’re raking.The only issue is the ‘wobbleness’ of the rake prongs.When on the widest setting it takes leaves with ease. But for grass cuttings I always make the rake narrower.Each time though the prongs wobble and shudder. Probably as expected. But sometimes feels loose
