Perfect for your small city garden

I'm sure this would well for any size space but something that folds up is always going to be a compromise in terms of overall strength and life span and added cost. But for a small garden where storage is limited this is a solid well made tool and I'm sure I will get years of use out if it. The head adjustments also make it very versatile, wide head for raking up large trimmings, medium for leaves and at its tightest perfect for removing moss from lawns. And it all folds away into a small package to store away till next time.

Excellent piece of garden equipment

I've had one of these rakes for a few years and have found it to be just what I wanted, portable, extendable, strong and lightweight.
I bought another one for my neighbours after they were very helpful with a computer problem I had.

Can thoroughly recommend this rake.

Great for saving space

Overall I'm very impressed with the design of this rake, the best I've seen around, so would definitely recommend!

Expanding/folding away is really intuitive and easy, particularly considering that some collapsable tools can be really stiff and fiddly, or constantly collapse while using. Just flip a lever and you can pull out/push in the tines, flipping back the lever to lock into place. A simple twist lets you extend the handle, and the length is fine for me (I'm just under 180cm tall and don't need to bend down at all). The twist to lock the handle into place could be a little firmer, as when I'm doing a lot of clearing it can twist open during use and start collapsing the handle, but that's more just personal preference and it's not really much bother to give it a quick twist shut again.

One little thing I have noticed is that the tines do seem a little thin and wobbly, rattling a bit. But perhaps I'm just used to cheap stiff plastic rakes! It certainly seems sturdy enough, well built, and works brilliantly. It just means I use an extra little flick when raking cut grass into a pile, nothing to complain about.

Particularly as someone who doesn't have a garage, and so very little space to store garden stuff, this is an truly fantastic design, and at £10 it's a real bargain!

It is a simple product but it makes it great the thing about being easy stored. It is sturdy enough. Overall a good item.

Very compact but not very sturdy.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2020

The main reason that I purchased this rake is because of its compact nature. I don't have a garage or shed so I store all of my gardening tools indoors. The rake is telescopic allowing it to collapse down very small. You twist the handle to lock and unlock the telescoping handle. There's also a lever at the bottom of the rake to extend the fingers at the end.

Unfortunately that's where the good points end. The rake is not very sturdy. The whole rake flexes quite a lot during use and the handle does not lock in place properly allowing it to twist during use. I have seen another reviewer mention that their handle snapped completely. It should be okay for me as I do very little gardening.

Can adjust width and get between shrubs. My late Grandfather, who was a Head Gardener on big estates 1930 to 1970's used to call the narrow head rakes 'Shrub Rakes'. Still have many of his tools (some repaired by local Blacksmith ) and use them all the time. Hope this lasts as well as them

Handy for raking smaller items like crab apples

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 2, 2020

Verified Purchase

I’ve just literally used this for the first time today. I bought it because I literally have thousands of windfall crab apples and the tines on my other rake were just too wide to pick them up effectively. I like that this can be altered both width wise and height wise. It feels fairly robust but then I wasn’t using loads of pressure. I’m not sure if it would take any heavy handed person using for an extended length of time/years but I’m sure It’ll be fine for what it’s needed for. It raked through grass, soil and leaves while picking up and did a pretty good job. It folds down to store compactly.
