115 cm Long Wooden Handle Shaft Replacement for Rake, Hoe or Broom

Product Information

Tine buildup—A rake lost one point if we had to pause to clear its tines. If we didn’t have to clear the tines, the rake received full points for this metric. Even though this product is designed as a lightweight rake for easy handling, it has a sturdy construction and a stainless steel handle.

Customers liked how lightweight this rake was, as it didn’t tire out their arms during use. They also said that the adjustable pole was easy to use, making it possible for several family members to use the same rake. However, its lightweight nature was also an indicator of its quality. Several customers said that it broke when used for medium- or heavy-duty tasks. Our Experience Flooding: A layer of leaves can prevent excess water from draining, which can cause your grass to become waterlogged and cause flooding in your home. Most tines are made of metal or plastic. Metal tines are more durable, but they’re heavier and tend to make garden rakes more expensive. Rakes with plastic tines aren’t as durable as metal rakes, but they’re more affordable and lightweight. Occasionally, you’ll find tines made of resin that give you the durability of metal and the flexibility of plastic. Head Width We tested it in its shrub position by raking pine straw in between shrubs. We also fully extended it and tested it in a larger bed with pine straw and leaves. The tines performed well in the shrub position, but when we extended them to rake larger debris, they bent under too much pressure. If you’re looking for a versatile rake, consider one that weighs 2 or 3 pounds. Not only does this allow you to complete a variety of tasks, but it also prevents your arms from getting tired during use. Yard SizeThe leaf rake that comes along with this unit has 15 springy round tines. They can withstand pressure and can adapt to different surfaces as compared to rigid tines. The rake was also easy to use. We liked that the rubber gripping went several inches down the handle because that allowed it to accommodate larger hands. However, our arms felt slightly tired after using the rake because of its heavy metal head. Our Score The handle on this rake has grooves for better gripping and a rim to prevent your hands from slipping down the pole. We were also able to extend and shorten the pole’s length depending on our height and how far we wanted to reach. Our Score A rake’s head width refers to how far the tines on the rake fan out. Rakes with a wider head are good for clearing a lot of material at once, but if you’re doing more detailed work around plants, a rake with a smaller head may be a better option. Weight

The telescopic handle permits the rake to extend from 31.5 to 63 inches in length to ensure lesser fatigue when using and for longer reach. Task efficiency—We gave each rake a rating on a scale of 1-5 based on how efficiently it performed its designated task.During our task efficiency tests, we counted the number of times we had to pause and clear the rake of leaves, pine straw, or debris. Ergonomics Rakes can weigh less than one pound or more than four. Their weight depends on their size and the materials used in their construction. Lighter rakes are good for tasks like raking dry leaves, while heavier rakes are good for heavy-duty tasks like moving dirt or leveling sand. A hand rake is a smaller version of a shrub or bow rake. It has a shorter handle and fewer tines, and it’s designed for use around smaller plants like vegetables and flowers. Its short handle gives you ultimate control of where the tines touch. Material
