Rake head spans 20 cm – 58 cm

  • Use the wide span width for large surface areas and quick lawn sweeps

  • Low Maintenance: the teeth are made of galvanized steel wires to prevent rust.

Adjustable span

  • This rake can be put to work in smaller areas which are difficult to reach for conventional rakes.

    Maybe I’m getting old but I’m truly excited about my new rake. It is strong, yet flexible. I can shrink it down for my garden area and lengthen it for the pine needles and big jobs. It’s performed perfectly, and is extremely well built adjustments take a few seconds and super simple to use. Get one, you’ll be very satisfied with it for sure!.

    Took a while for product to arrive, but use was a advertised. I had a previous rake like this one and I love the flexibility to spread tongs to get in certain places and telescoping handle makes it easy to store.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIt’s light weight, and pulls more leaves than my last standard rake. I also love the ability to change the rake size for smaller spaces. As long as it doesn’t break on me within the next few months with usage it will continue to rank 5 stars.

    I was a bit sceptical of the rakes ability to adjust widths thinking it was just another flimsy gadget, I was wrong! It works perfectly allowing wide sweeps and also adjustment to get into smaller areas. The rake is sturdy and made well.

    I like its light weight and the ability of expending and contracting the rake.

    The lengthening of the shaft and the ability to reduce the length of the shaft is a bonus!

    This is the style rake I wanted and is very sturdy, adapts easily to spaces and works fine. My only disappointment is the tightening of the handle when adjusting for length. It doesn’t always remain secure. Regardless I would purchase this rake again.

    This is a replacement tool for one I bought probably 10 years ago–and I am not disappointed in the least.
    this tool is light, well made, and functioning better than my ten year old rake, which has been through garden disaster after disaster with flying colors. And the supplier fulfilled my order speedily. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this rake to any one looing for garden versatility in a rake.

    Pros: great portable rake for clearing out a campsite. Ability to adjust the spacing of the rake’s tines allows for the user to easily clear acorns, small stones, and twigs. Open up the rake to clear larger items like branches and leaves.

    Cons: the only thing that I would consider a con would be the plastic locking lever and twist extension for the handle. They both work fine, but they could be potential points of wear in the future after prolonged use.

    Summary: great rake for camping and use where storage is limited. Buy with confidence.

    The tool is a little heavier than I’d like for extended use, but the adjustability is an awesome feature.
    Narrow it down for getting under and around shrubs, then open the fan to move some volume.

    This my second rake of this kind. The other is over 30 years old and still works but is getting a bit rusted and worn so when I found this one I had to get it. The rake seems sturdy and does the job adequately. My only complaint is that the telescoping handle comes loose and needs to be re-extended sometimes while I’m working. If I got another I would look for one without that option.

    The telescopic handle is occasionally a bit sticky to extend, but this is a worthwhile bit of kit and rakes the grass up easily. The fan can be set at the required width by an easy slide mechanism independent of the handle length. Very pleased with it. Of course it’s compact enough that it may also get packed to go to the beach and make patterns…

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI’ve bought several of this type of rake (but not this brand) over the years with the tines/prongs/teeth collapse to have a wide or narrow spread.

    PROS
    – Being able to change how wide the tines are spread out is invaluable for getting in and around tight spaces (like under shrubs)

    – This type of rake always has skinny metal tines which I really like (vs the wide plasic ones). In addition to doing their normal job, they help to scrape the top of the soil.

    CONS
    – This particular rake also has a telescoping handle, which I am not a fan of. In order to telescope, the part of the handle that you hold is too narrow to be comfortable. This is the only reason I deducted one star (really should only be about 1/2 star deduction)

    – I always manage to leave my rakes outside, and this type of rake doesn’t hold up very well if left out all winter. My bad, and not really the rake’s fault, but I plan to be sure to keep this one inside the garage.

    – Sometimes the bent ends (at the end in contact with what you are raking) get turned from facing down to facing sideways on this type of rake, which makes it harder to use. It will be interesting to see if it happens with this particular brand.

    I love this rake. You can adjust the width as needed. Keep in mind the wider you expand it, it gets a little flimsy but still able to do the job. I love that it’s light weight and easy for anyone to use. I bought one for my 10 year old grandson who likes to do yard work! Worth the money

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersLooked at reviews of a number of ones on different web sites. I hemmed and hawed over this, even though I could return for free. Was so glad I got this. The telescoping is great, you can spread it wide or very narrow. There is a little lever that truly locks it in place and doesn’t move. For price it was very reasonable, as you can spend a bit more and not get the sturdiness. I think I will have this for a very long time, unless you run it over with a car a number of times, but think it would still stand the test of time. And it is not some kind of thin metal. Has substance to it.

    I ordered this one because my other one (bought at Rite-Aid) I tried to use in real cold weather and the handle that adjusted the rake size broke off.
    This one has an adjustable height and the tine width is perfect.
    Seems like the tine ends are very sharp and pull up some grass along with leaves, but perhaps it will work out just fine when spring/summer/fall get here.

    I got this hopefully to rake the beds where the big rake doesn’t fit, and also to size down for the opening of the tall paper leaf bag for bagging. It works great for narrow spaces. For bagging it lets me pick up a bundle of leaves to stuff in the bag and compress it down. I may add some gaffer tape to the handle end to aid in gripping.

    This rake replaced a similar rake that had lasted Us many many years. I wad afraid I would not find a similar rake to my original. This rake is great! My old rake did not have a telescope handle, which is a nice new feature. Being able to increase and decrease the rake span, allows you to get into narrow areas to remove debris. With a light touch it will take leaves off bark mulch areas, without taking all the bark mulch along with it. Lightweight and very manageable. I would recommend this rake.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersI bought this rake for its versatility. I like the smaller size for my narrow flower bed work and wanted the larger expanded size for a project to fix a hole my dog dug in our yard and to help replant grass. I am in FL, so I am working with a mix of mostly sand and soil. The rake did great with my flower bed and light topsoil work for replanting grass, I imagine it would do well for light leaf raking, and if my children wanted to help rake, it could easily adjust to a size usable for anyone. I mostly used a shovel to fix the hole in my yard but wanted a rake to help smooth things out. This rake was hard to work with in moving soil. I was able to narrow the head and do more heavy duty soil moving with it, but the handle did come unlatched and shortened a few times and when I had the head fanned out the spikes rotated and I had to fix them. It was an easy fix and after adjusting it worked better. This is a great tool for any light gardener.

    Open the rake wide for leaves and cuttings. Fold it up tight to get into tight spaces, like under a porch. Shorten the handle and close it up to use up close in among the flowers or veggies. Neat thing to have around.

    Wasn’t sure what to expect when ordering this rake which was to be used as a backup rake or when we did yard work as a family. However, after using it yesterday I am truly glad I purchased this. Partly because it’s like a new toy being opened on Christmas and partly because of its flexibility. I was able to quickly adjust the rake to fit between trees and extend for wide open spaces. The telescopic handle was easy to open and extend with a simple twist and lock into place, again with a simple twist. Thank you for creating a wonderful, innovative and fun tool garden tool!!!

    This is a great rake! Especially since it is adjustable in pretty much every way. It helped to get those little pieces of leaves and in the hard to reach spots like under our picket fence. I deducted a star because it is a little on the heavier side. So it may not be a good option for those with arthritis and weak grip strength. My hands and arms were tired pretty quickly.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI loved everything about it. I put off completing my winter garden preparations because I did not have a rake to clean up the leaves that had accumulated and frozen to the ground. It thawed enough the other day, after purchasing this rake to finally clean it out. The area I was focused on was a smallish flower garden outside my front door. The collapsable size of the rake made it easy to adjust it to fit between plants, or for wide spaces. I was able to clean it up and decorate the area for the holidays and what a relief. It did a hard job, but since I have only used it once, I only gave it four stars. If it holds up through next fall, I will come back and give it five stars.

    Golden Review Award: 13 From Our UsersThis is the best rake I have ever used. In fact, in my 77 years on this earth, I would include this in my list of 50 greatest purchases I have made in my life. I just love how easy it is to adjust from wide to narrow width with the flick of a well-made release mechanism. The rake is sturdy without being too heavy. I am currently using it to rake up lawn thatch. It is so easy to do because the rake tines grab onto weeds , leaves or grass and don’t let go. Therefore you are not re-raking the same material. I am getting rid of all my plastic rakes. Don’t waste your money on them. I am getting one for my brother for Christmas. I couple this with a portable leaf-suction device which mulches the leaves into a portable bag. In no time at all I can clean my lawn and planting beds.

We had small quarter size River Rock dumped in our yard and a grassy area that needed to be cleaned up. Other than picking up individual Stones by hand, no other rake would help at all. Given the adjustability of the times, I was able to set them to perfectly break up the rock out of the grass. It is working great and speeding things up tremendously.

    This is the rake I never knew I needed. The fact that you can lengthen and shorten the tines means that you can open it all the way for raking up leaves, or close it up to work on tougher things like pesky roots or rocks that are in the way. Folding it up makes storage so much easier too. I use it all the time and it’s held up great. Highly recommend!

    Golden Review Award: 19 From Our UsersWhat I like about this rake is the way you can adjust both the length of the pole and the width of the rake head. For instance, if you want to rake up small areas or areas where there are in between items that would slip through the tines, set the rake head smaller. Large items like leaves or pine cones, set it wider. The adjustable length and the light weight makes it easy to just do it one handed for light work, like propping up the lawn mower tire tracks. Both adjustments lock in place securely. Used it three times in various positions and found it works great. Easily fits in car trunk if you have to take it camping or something like that. Glad I chose this onje to get.
