- Leveling soil
- Spreading gravel
- Contractor grade
A commercial-duty forged bow rake with a heavy-gauge 16-tine head and a shock-absorbing white-ash handle, built for leveling soil and spreading gravel or mulch. The wood handle needs a little care and the tool is on the heavy side, but for pros and rugged homeowners it delivers forged stiffness at a lower price than boutique USA rakes, backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Pros
- Forged one-piece head and heavy-gauge tines take hard prying without bending
- Solid white-ash handle flexes under load and is cheap to replace if it ever cracks
- Contractor-grade build costs less than premium USA rakes while matching the stiffness
Cons
- Ash wood handle needs occasional sealing and can splinter if left out in the weather
- Forged head is heavy, which tires you on long grading passes
- No dedicated back-blade nib, so final smoothing relies on flipping the head over
