Like its big brother, this is an excellent quality rake. The 8" shrub rake is durable and has a comfortable handle.Great for getting into tight spots around your landscaping.The head and tines are flexible and durable.I have had this rake for a few years and it is still in mint condition even after a lot of use. I have had small shrub rakes that have too stiff a tine and end up with broken tines.These are flexible and strong.A very nice item.Highly recommended.

The Fiskars shrub take is a great little tool and a necessity for cleaning shrub beds and clearing leaves from behind and between bushes. It's size makes for great maneuverability and its flexible tines get the leaves out, but leaves the mulch where it lies. As a bonus ,it even sports the Baltimore Orioles black and orange colors.

I bought this along with the 24" Fiskar rake and carry both of them where I go in the garden. Like the 24" rake, the design is very light with an oblong handle designed for better grip and orientation. The tines are very flexible and are useful at a wide range of angles unlike most rakes.

Although this is called a shrub rake, it's useful for a variety of garden projects, such as raking the edge of borders, sculpting the mulch around plants, or sweeping fine garden debris from the lawn into a dust pan.

The only drawback with the Fiskar rake is its flexibility which means it can't be used to scrape the ground or move light soil around like I am able to do with my stiffer shrub rakes. However this makes it ideal for gently combing your plants.

Overall, I believe every fastidious gardener could use this product.

Hard to believe you could get excited about a rake but this one really is great for those hard to reach spots. We also have the larger rake and love it as well. Both rakes are very light weight and have nice long handles so you don't have to stoop. We have several Fiskar garden tools and plan to get more. They are all very well made, quality products.

We only had one of these rakes, and would fight over who would use it, so we got a second one. It is extremely light & comfortable with a padded long handle. Great for reaching under hedges. It's small size lets it fit in tight spaces. Debris never sticks in the tines of this rake, eiter. It also manages to lift very small leaves and dead grass from a lawn, so is good for thatching. I'm curious to see if the large/normal size rake by Fiskars works as great as this one. I can't find anything wrong with this great product!

With it's extra-long lightweight handle and well designed tines, this has quickly become a favorite tool. The tines minimize damage to plants, are good at raking leaves out of evergreen shrubs, and reaches easily into the back of flower beds. Am thinking of buying the wider version, because this one works so well.

I wasn't aware that they made rakes that kept the bark and dirt where it was supposed to be, until I stumbled upon this. It works great and isn't super expensive. Good use for flower beds and areas where you don't want to disturb the soil too much.

This rake is perfect for clearing leaves and debris in and around plants..I love it!

Very light, very handy under tight spaces and you don't have to spear this thing like bigger and heavier rakes, just reach it out and put it down, pull the claw back and towards you with a little elegance in your posture, too bad though the claw are too thin and it bounces more than I wanted from time to time. Other than that, the design of the claw really works.

I don't know if I would be able to face the job of raking under our front hedges without it.

Not only great for leaves, but for hedge trimmings and large seed pods, too. We have huge, 100-year-old magnolia trees in our front lawn. The seed pods are like hand grenades! Heavy and prickly, too! (Think twice before planting magnolias....) This rake has very heavy-duty plastic tines--with just the right amount of give. It gets into tight places and is capable of dragging out weighty plant debris, too.

Don't even suggest that the plastic tines will break easily. I've been using this one rake for four years and not one tine has broken. And we live in an area where we have different trees shedding all year long--no seasonal breaks here.

The rake is light-weight, nice and long, and has a great-feeling grip--all teriffic qualities. I can't say enough about how much I like this rake!
We love Fiskars products. I guess you could say we're Fiskars Fans...
