- Innovative Gear-Driven Design: This Carbon Steel Hand Rake features patented gear-shaped teeth that easily penetrate compacted soil. It is ideal for dethatching lawns, turning compost, and preparing vegetable plots. The lightweight construction minimizes fatigue during prolonged use. - Triple-Welded Durability: Built to last, this metal rake includes triple-reinforced welding at key joints. Its sturdy design can withstand impacts from rocks and pressure from pulling roots, ensuring the steel head remains securely attached even during tough dethatching tasks. - Versatile Handle Customization: Easily convert this rake into a long-reach tool by attaching any standard wooden pole (sold separately). The universal socket design allows for ergonomic use while standing, helping to reduce back strain during extensive weeding. - Traditional Forging Craftsmanship: Crafted using established quenching techniques, this unpolished Carbon Steel Hand Rake develops a protective patina as it ages. The surface roughness from traditional forging aids in better soil penetration. For optimal performance, occasional oiling is recommended for lasting reliability. Applications: 1. Dethatching lawns to promote healthy grass growth and improve drainage. 2. Turning compost for aeration, speeding up decomposition for nutrient-rich soil. 3. Prepping vegetable plots to create the ideal seedbed for planting. This rake combines function, durability, and user-friendly features, making it an essential tool for any gardener or landscaper.
