Much more compact than a normal rake – This compacts down to a very small size indeed. Stainless, so it won’t rust and has a good spread when fully opened.
The opening mechanism is a trifle stiff, but I reckon a little 3in1 would fix this. No big issue.
Not the strongest of tools, so for anyone doing masses of garden work, it might be best to invest in a more substantial rake – but for simply clawing back grass cuttings or leaves – this is perfectly suitable.
I only have a very small garden, so space is very much at a premium and i’m always on the look out for space saving items, this rake is ideal as it folds down pretty small and takes up almost no space!
It is quite lightweight and probably wouldn’t be great for a large garden/heavy duty work, but for getting a smaller garden leaf free its ideal.
Opening and closing has a bit of a knack, but once you’ve done it a couple of times its easy.
I think its decent for the price.

I had my previous rake for many years and it finally broke. This rake is lighter than my previous rake. I don’t think it’ll be any good for heavier duty jobs like raking the moss from my lawn, but for some light leaf raking it’s fine.
The rake arrives and is in it’s compacted position – ie handle small and rake spokes together, so it looks nice and neat.
It doesn’t come with any instructions and you may think ‘well, it’s just a rake, how hard can it be?’. Yet I spent a good 5 minutes baffled as to how to open the spokes. Maybe I’m just getting daft in my old age but a simple instruction leaflet would have helped!
I did eventually work it out. There is a lever on it, which I had been opening and closing but just couldn’t work out what it did. Well, it releases tension on the pole. So, whilst holding the black lever in one hand, you gently the pull the pole away from the spokes with the other and they start to open. You then close the lever back down to secure.
The extension of the pole is rather simpler, by pulling up and gently turning till it tightens at the required length.
The rake probably isn’t the strongest on the market and I wouldn’t recommend for a big garden. The fact that the pole is extendable will always take some of the sturdiness out of it.
But, for people with small gardens and limited storage space, I think this is ideal.
This ZENO Telescopic Garden Rake is a good piece of garden equipment. Compact, telescopic and easy to store. I ordered it to replace a broken one.
It doesn’t have the resistance of an ordinary lawn rake but for the telescopic feature it is decent.
The build quality and feel is substantial and as a person with disabilities and sight problems, I find it lightweight to use. I like that you can adjust the prongs too. Also it’s adjustable to any width I need for raking leaves etc. from the gravel in my front and back gardens.
It’s ideal to keep in my small shed as it doesn’t take up much space.
It comes nicely packaged and boxed.
The price is a little beyond what I consider reasonable therefore I deduct a star and score it 4/5.
