FAQs

Is the handle made of metal or wood?

The handle is made from natural, high-quality beechwood.

What is the total width of the rake head?

The rake head is 42 cm wide, equipped with 18 steel tines.

Can I leave the rake outside in the rain?

While the steel head is moisture-resistant, it is best to store the rake indoors or under cover to preserve the wooden handle.

Why does my handle look slightly bent?

Natural beechwood can exhibit slight bends during the manufacturing process; these do not affect the strength or functionality of the rake.

Is this rake suitable for gravel paths?

It is designed primarily for leaves, grass, and debris on lawn surfaces; excessive use on heavy gravel may cause unnecessary wear to the tines.

Troubleshooting

Tines become slightly bent after heavy use

Gently apply pressure in the opposite direction using a pair of pliers to realign the tines to their original position.

The handle feels rough over time

Lightly sand the wooden handle with fine-grit sandpaper and wipe it clean to restore a smooth finish.

Loose head assembly

Check the connection point at the base of the rake head and tighten any securing screws or fittings firmly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Wide 42 cm head covers ground quickly
  • Long handle reduces the need to bend over
  • Reinforced steel tines offer excellent durability
  • Lightweight construction prevents arm fatigue
  • Suitable for both domestic and commercial use

Cons

  • Beechwood handle may have natural bends
  • Not intended for heavy-duty earth excavation or digging
  • Handle is not adjustable for different heights

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This rake arrives pre-assembled or with minimal attachment required, depending on the shipping configuration. Because the handle is crafted from natural beechwood, it is recommended to keep it in a dry environment when not in use to maintain the integrity of the wood.

Care Tips

  1. Cleaning: After use, tap the rake head against the ground to dislodge trapped debris and wipe the tines with a dry cloth to prevent potential oxidation.
  2. Storage: Hang the rake vertically in a shed or garage to prevent moisture accumulation on the wooden handle.
  3. Maintenance: If the handle feels dry, applying a light coat of linseed oil periodically can help protect the wood from the elements.
