From the moment I pulled this out of the box, I knew it would quickly become one of my favorite garden tools. The painted finish is excellent, high quality, and the telescoping mechanism works great with a positive "click" to set it at any convenient length. Great bang for the buck...if you're looking for a versatile hand tool it would be hard to beat this one!

I use mine for clearing leaves and other debris from in bushs and around plants. It is great for those purposes. The idea of using it for a yard rake is totally rediculous. $16!!!! I just (2010) bought a new one at a pricey garden center for under $8.

Someone claims to have raked 1/2 acre with this? I wonder how long that took? 2 days? This rake is very tiny. My daughter likes to play in the sand with it, and it is just the right size for that. It is not a full sized rake. The quality is okay, though.

I've always had a tough time getting leaves out from under shrubs. A full size rake just gets in the way, and the half-size ones never seem to work all that well. This rake is an excellent performer - you can shorten the handle for working in close quarters, or extend it to keep from stooping down. The handle extends and retracts in any position, and locks in tightly. Just turn, extend, and turn again to lock it in.

The tines are spring steel and seem sturdy enough to last for several years. The handle is metal, again of sturdy construction. Nice oversized grip that is very comfortable even without gloves on. Also has a metal loop to hang it in the garage.

One point - you can also find this at big box stores (the one that is the plural of "low") for about half of what Amazon is presently charging.

Corona makes several tools with the same handle design, including hedge clippers that are fantastic (those I did purchase from Amazon, and will be posting a review). Good to see that there are still some well thought-out and well-built hand tools available without having to spend a whole lot.

for extremly light purpose only, this I use to clean up flower beds and so on, not even qualify as a garden rake, it's a flower bed rake, fiber grass shaft are very light and extension pole keeps my foot dry.

I wanted a rake very badly to get rid of residual dried grass blades after mowing. Though I did have a rake for dry leaves, it was not serving my purpose. I searched the internet thoroughly and came across this product. The reviews seemed quite positive. I ordered through amazon and received the product very fast. I was amazed to find how sturdy it was. What I liked most about the product was the 7-tine heads were sharp enough to penetrate the grass bed (unlike my leaf rake which were flat headed). I can even rake dry leaves without a problem. The extendable handle gives a very good support for my back.

I purchased this rake at a local hardware store since it was the cheapest, the quality is awesome, I raked my whole back yard (1/2 acre) and it worked great. I have had it for a few months and it hasnt broken or anything, not much else to say about a rake.
