Darlac Expanding Telescopic Metal Garden Leaf Rake Cuttings Lawn Adjustable

I've had one of these rakes for a few years and have found it to be just what I wanted, portable, extendable, strong and lightweight.I bought another one for my neighbours after they were very helpful with a computer problem I had.Can thoroughly recommend this rake.

It is a simple product but it makes it great the thing about being easy stored. It is sturdy enough. Overall a good item.

Overall I'm very impressed with the design of this rake, the best I've seen around, so would definitely recommend!Expanding/folding away is really intuitive and easy, particularly considering that some collapsable tools can be really stiff and fiddly, or constantly collapse while using. Just flip a lever and you can pull out/push in the tines, flipping back the lever to lock into place. A simple twist lets you extend the handle, and the length is fine for me (I'm just under 180cm tall and don't need to bend down at all). The twist to lock the handle into place could be a little firmer, as when I'm doing a lot of clearing it can twist open during use and start collapsing the handle, but that's more just personal preference and it's not really much bother to give it a quick twist shut again.One little thing I have noticed is that the tines do seem a little thin and wobbly, rattling a bit. But perhaps I'm just used to cheap stiff plastic rakes! It certainly seems sturdy enough, well built, and works brilliantly. It just means I use an extra little flick when raking cut grass into a pile, nothing to complain about.Particularly as someone who doesn't have a garage, and so very little space to store garden stuff, this is an truly fantastic design, and at £10 it's a real bargain!

I’ve just literally used this for the first time today. I bought it because I literally have thousands of windfall crab apples and the tines on my other rake were just too wide to pick them up effectively. I like that this can be altered both width wise and height wise. It feels fairly robust but then I wasn’t using loads of pressure. I’m not sure if it would take any heavy handed person using for an extended length of time/years but I’m sure It’ll be fine for what it’s needed for. It raked through grass, soil and leaves while picking up and did a pretty good job. It folds down to store compactly.

Easy to open and close the prongs. Seems to do the job of bringing the leaves up, suspect i am working this thing quite hard as i have a water logged lawn, so not the easiest to rake up leaves without uprooting too much of the grass.Seems flimsy but also seems to do the job and rake up as well as not too much space in my shed, so meets my criteria. If you plan to use it alot then probably not for you as not that sturdy but for my wee lawn and needs seems fine

No dislikes Used for raking grass gravel grass and leaves very effectively

Well made infinitely adjustable stainless rake. Goes in the van easily. Winner Winner

I have only used it a couple of times and it has been great. I am a short person so it was lovely being able to get the handle to the right length for me as well as finding the best width with the prongs for the job at the time. Only time will tell on how long it lasts but I feel it could do well.
