Product Information

A bow rake often has a steel head and a wooden, metal, or fiberglass handle. The metal tines of a proper bow rake are much shorter than that of a leaf rake and are straight (though some models come with curved tines), which contributes to a strong and sturdy tool. It’s a versatile rake that can do more than what it’s meant for and hardier tasks won’t ruin its durable construction. A wooden handle rake or ones with subpar welding or methods of attachment often leads to rake heads that pop off or break after several uses. For a heavy-duty option that can handle rougher jobs, look to Bully Tools’ 92309 rake model. Made of 10-gauge steel, the tough head can comb through most ground materials, and the handle is also wrapped in a polyester coating to further prevent breakage All the tools you need for reaching the heights safely and without taking your feet off the ground or using a ladder. Choose between the 2, 3 and 4 metre extending handle and add the specific tree care tool head of your choice to maintain your trees with little effort. Cleaning The "every tool head fits every handle" Multi-Change® range comprises a choice of handles of different lengths (to suit your height and the task in hand) and over 50 tool heads to cater for any type of gardening task. Not quite a bow rake but similar in shape and stature is this choicefrom Fiskars.

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.

I was a little apprehensive about this having a multi-section aluminum handle, but once it is assembled, it is surprisingly strong,” wrote a customer. Another also described, “The head of the rake looks sturdy and so far rakes through my challenging fields.” Specifications
