Questions & Answers
You won't buy the head of the rake from anyone. Purchase the whole thing, remove the stick, and then dispose of the whole thing
It didn't come with a flea and tick collar for my cat.
To attach the rake to the pole, there is a hole in the rake. I like this rake a lot because it gets behind the bushes well.
A screw would be appropriate if the handle does not have a hole, otherwise a starter hole would suffice
Selected User Reviews For A.M. Leonard Narrow Shrub Rake, 8 Inches Wide, 54 Inch Handle
not give any stars for easy to use, sturdiness, or light weight since I am not sure if any of those are true since I have not been able to use it because it came malfunctioning. There was no mention in any of the descriptions that I needed to drill my own hole in the handle to insert the screw through to complete the assembly. There is a lot to be upset about.
The quality of this product is comparable to the sort of thing you would find in your local hardware store.
Whenever I needed to rake shrubs in the yard, I purchased the inexpensive plastic shrub rakes. I used them fairly frequently, and they would last a year or so. Neither of these rakes were designed to be used together, so I had two plastic rakes and one metal rake. Compared to the metal model, there was no problem, but when I went to buy another one at the local big box store, they didn't have Those in plastic are the only Thus, I got one from Amazon that arrived promptly and is just as good as the one I have been using for several years now.
There have been others I have tried from metal to plastic, but this is by far the best. Easy to use, removes all leaves from the nooks and crannies of my garden and best for raking and smoothing A friend of mine will be interested in this.
To attach the rake head, I have to drill a hole. As a result, I cannot use the rake. The only way I can do this is because I am an elderly woman. That was a disappointment.
Despite not having used the rake yet, I am going to. I'm having a bit of trouble put it together because I can't see well and my hands are weak and arthritic (not to mention my goofy 100+ Lab who thinks it is a brand new game and won't leave me alone!) It's still a fairly new rake to me, but I can tell that it's a very good one. It is not cheap wood, but it is not clear what type of wood the handle is. I see this rake head looks very well made in comparison with the many that I have seen at the big box stores around This looks like it will last a long time if it is properly cared for. From what I can see so far, it feels balanced in my hands, and it is a good size for getting between shrubs. My feeling is that once I get the handle attached properly to the head it will work beautifully. However, I may have to enlist the assistance of my neighbor as I haven't been much success trying to do it myself so far. I received the rake promptly from the seller. My relief at seeing that nothing was seriously damaged by the shipping box was reinforced when I noticed it had suffered a lot of damage upon arrival. I received prompt answers to my questions from customer service. I think this seller is a good, reliable one. All said and done, this is a good quality rake for a good price, and it will do the job it is designed for. It is recommended.
There are few tools that can compare to Leonard's. Definitely one of the best rakes out there. In contrast to cheap takes you buy at a home store, the tines of these picks are stiff, and they don't flap or flop. However, it appears they overlooked the nut that maintains the attachment between the handle and the rake head. The odds are high that you already have some Leonard tools lying around in your garage if you are purchasing Leonard tools. My small yard had obstacles to overcome so he was able to work quickly.
A light weight rake that is perfect for women like me who are short and older.
