Know before you buy

Yes, the rake is built with durable alloy steel and features 16 sturdy tines, making it well-suited for moving heavy debris, mulch, or gravel. Its heavy-duty construction is designed to withstand the impact and pressure of tougher outdoor projects.
The rake weighs 6.3 pounds, which provides enough heft to penetrate packed soil or debris without requiring excessive downward force. While it is heavier than plastic or aluminum alternatives, the ergonomic design and D-grip help balance the weight for easier maneuverability.
The rake is constructed from durable, impact-resistant alloy steel designed for longevity in various weather conditions. However, to prevent potential rust or corrosion over time, we recommend storing it in a dry shed or garage when not in use.
