Review: Another high quality Darlac tool - Like another reviewer, I'm pleased that I ignored the negative reviews from people who assumed they were buying a tool that makes scarifying an effortless task. Also I'm pleased that it requires a bit/lot of energy as I still want the exercise. This is a well-designed, simple but high quality tool that makes the effort far more productive - and, thus, pleasurable. I have a number of Darlac tools and all are of very high quality. Overall this specimen represents excellent value.
Review: A good quality product - best for small to medium gardens only though! - First up - a little assembly required - the handle is in two parts and needs a screw to hold it together (supplied) I actually screwed a second in for extra sturdiness which seemed to work well The most important thing to note is that it’s hard work scarifying a garden! It’s hard manual work however the rake was the perfect tool. Took up all the dead grass and didn’t damage the soil or living grass I found it best to use a sort of sweeping motion rolling back and forth. I also did it twice - the second time at 90 degrees to the first and was surprised at how much more dead grass and roots came up still Whilst my garden was probably a little too big for manual scarifying i did it in chunks and considered it a workout! This being said, the health of the grass and garden after using this is significantly better and I’m pleased with the result A good product, sturdy, perfect for the job and recommended.....unless you have a large garden then hire a mechanised one or get a professional in! Hope you found this useful

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does the handle fit onto it? Do you use the supplied screw?**
A: Yes a screw is supplied and is generally in a sealed bag and attached to the ring at the end of handle.

**Q: Does the product remove weeds?**
A: Sorry, no. It scratches the soil, (scarify) to dislodge dead grass and moss.

**Q: Do you push or pull this device?**
A: it can be very hard to move about  depending on how thick your moss is but i found it is easiest to push

**Q: Does it come complete with handle**
A: Yes it does, a nice strong telescopic handle that you can adjust, depending on the angle you wish to rake at. A longer handle goes in deep and is harder work, but shorter gives a top rake and gets out quite a lot of moss and will rake up leaves and similar.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, highly recommended.
*by J***H on 7 February 2025*

This is a great product, we had a lot of moss in both our front and back lawn since the previous owner neglected the grass. Using this product really help remove 90% of the moss and thatch, organic moss killer removed the rest. It is definitely a good workout using it but is 100% worth the effort. Highly recommended.
