Product Information

Full details

The Pegdev Landscape Rake (model 18MREP) is a heavy-duty 70cm metal rake designed for professionals needing a durable tool for daily use in challenging environments. Its key benefit is efficient raking and levelling across large areas, featuring 18 precisely crafted tines and an integrated grading bar for precise results. A potential caveat for some users might be its robust construction, which, while durable, contributes to its weight.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this landscape rake?

This rake is designed for heavy-duty professional use in landscaping, soil grading, and sand levelling, effectively managing large areas and tough conditions.

What are the dimensions of the rake?

The rake head is approximately 750mm (30 inches) wide, and it features a 1200mm (48 inch) hardwood handle.

How many tines does the rake have?

The rake is equipped with 18 metal tines, crafted for optimal performance.

Is this rake suitable for home gardening?

While it can be used for home gardening, its heavy-duty design is optimized for professional, daily use and may be more robust than typically needed for lighter tasks.

Does the rake come assembled?

Yes, the Pegdev Landscape Rake arrives fully assembled and ready for use, though it's advisable to check the handle connection.

What maintenance is required for the hardwood handle?

The hardwood handle should be kept clean and dry. Periodically, you can apply a wood sealant or oil to protect it from the elements and prevent splintering.

Can the grading bar be removed?

The product description does not specify if the grading bar is removable. It is designed as an integrated feature for precise levelling.

Troubleshooting

Rake head feels loose on the handle.

Inspect the connection point. If there is a ferrule or screw, tighten it. If the handle has expanded or shrunk, professional re-fitting might be necessary.

Tines are bending or damaged.

For minor bends, carefully try to straighten them with pliers. Significant damage may require replacement of the rake head or professional repair, depending on the severity and construction.

Uneven levelling performance.

Ensure the grading bar is clean and free of obstructions. Check that the rake is being held and moved at a consistent angle. Verify the ground surface itself is not inherently uneven.

Hardwood handle shows signs of wear or splintering.

Lightly sand any rough areas. Apply a wood sealant or oil suitable for tool handles to protect the wood and prevent further splintering. Replace the handle if damage is severe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The rake arrives fully assembled. Ensure the handle is securely fitted to the rake head before use. Check for any looseness and tighten if necessary.

Compatibility: This rake is designed for general landscape and ground maintenance tasks involving soil, sand, gravel, and debris. It is not intended for use with sharp or abrasive materials that could damage the tines or grading bar.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove any soil, debris, or plant matter from the tines and grading bar. A stiff brush or water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Storage: Store the rake in a dry place to prevent the hardwood handle from warping or rotting. Hanging the rake is recommended to keep the tines off the ground.
  3. Inspection: Periodically inspect the handle for cracks and the tines for bending or damage. Address any issues promptly to maintain optimal performance and safety.
