Craftsman Steel Leaf Rake Review

 Metal rakes are not my favorite kind of rakes, but sometimes they really help out around the yard.  I recently bought a Craftsman 24 inch steel leaf rake and have found lots of uses for it. 

First off, this Craftsman rake is well designed. It has a sturdy wooden handle which is pretty comfortable the hold. The best part is that the rake tines and securely held onto the rake with a steel brace and are able to flex. When they ''go wobbly'' they are not going to fall off!

The 24 inch span of the tines is sufficient in size for raking if you don't have a lot of trees or heavy foliage. Besides raking leaves this rake is good for scratching up the dead spots in your lawn and loosening-up soil in bare spots. 

The steel construction of this Craftsman rake is durable and won't rust. I don't expect the handle to splinter or rot either, as long as I keep it out the weather when storing it. Craftsman backs this up with a 'Forever' warranty, meaning it should never break. 

Overall I highly recommend this steel rake from Craftsman, which I bought at a Sears store. I don't like the way the tines of metal rakes shake around so I'll only give it 4 stars, but it would be hard to find a better metal rake for household usage.
