Product Information

A lightweight rake for heavy-duty raking,” explained a customer. “Also easy on arthritic hands.” It beats wooden rakes in some ways, too, according to another customer. “Very nice upgrade to your standard sliver producing handle,” they wrote. “Costs a bit more but worth it.” Specifications First and foremost, bow rakes are not made to rake leaves, but that doesn’t mean they’re rendered useless for this job. Though the short, flat tines of a bow rake aren’t as long and spindly as those of other rakes, they can still pull leaves from lawns and clear the area with ease. Plus, the metal tines are typically much stronger than the plastic tines or thin metal ones on standard leaf rakes. Been using this rake to help clear heavily overgrown wooded areas covered with vines,” noted a reviewer. “The extra length and strong tines have been a great help.” Another customer added, “I love how the length is adjustable since I'm over 6 feet tall yet my fiance is just over 5 feet… The whole thing is very sturdy and works well in our big yard.” Capped with a non-slip grip and equipped with a laminated handle, this rakefrom One Stop Gardens is weatherproof, durable, and comfortable for all-day use. Landscapers and other professionals can expect long-time usage for leveling patches, cleaning up lawns and soil, and spreading around gravel. In fact, one reviewer even ran it over without breaking the handle.

What is a Bow Rake?

A great bow rake doesn’t need to cost a fortune, as proven by this Blue Hawk version. A cushion grip is wrapped around the rake’s handle and the tempered steel rake head is capable of loosening up dirt without excessive strain, especially since the rake is only 2.6 pounds. It’s also a solid choice for dethatching lawns on a budget or vine removal. There is a five-year limited lifetime warranty on it as well. The most typical bow rake that might come to mind is one with a wooden handle and steel head. It’s a classic depiction and there is a reason these types of rakes, including this onefrom Anvil, have stayed prevalent and popular for so long. The tough handle crafted from wood and the tempered high carbon steel head make a duo that’ll last for many garden and landscaping tasks to come. Rather than glue or a screw mechanism, the head is attached through a quality, long-lasting resin. Not quite a bow rake but similar in shape and stature is this choicefrom Fiskars. It’s slightly more lightweight (made of aluminum) but has the small tines and condensed head that make it perfect for leveling and combing through soil, dirt, and filler materials. Its handle and head are double bolted together and with a lifetime warranty, shoppers don’t have to worry about putting it through heavy-duty landscaping projects.

While a wooden handle is one of the most popular options for rake handles, fiberglass and metal are also durable materials and some bow rake models are now available in adjustable lengths with steel or aluminum handles. Bow Rake Uses
