Serrated rake made in China

The rake, an indispensable garden tool, is so often referred to in a Russian proverb. There are several types of rakes:

• toothed gardening;
• garden fan;
• lawn rake.

A fan rake is used when cleaning the territory, it is especially important to use the tool in spring, when the site is cleared of last year's foliage, or in autumn. The site of Chinese goods "Aliexpress" offers an excellent fan rake "PALISAD" for 1120 rubles.

The rake is adjustable, has 15 round, bent at the tips of steel teeth, the range of the working part varies from 19 to 55 centimeters. The telescopic handle is made of aluminum with a two-piece handle. The length of the aluminum handle reaches up to 50 cm. The tines with the handle are connected with a special sleeve that can move along the handle, thereby adjusting the distance between the rake tines. By changing the reach of the rake, you can set up the garden tool both for collecting large foliage and for cleaning smaller items from the summer cottage. A fan rake is often used to collect leaves, plucked grass, cut branches and various debris. The round steel teeth allow the rake to be used to loosen the soil. The teeth are made of 65G spring steel, which indicates their increased rigidity to ensure ease of use. Galvanized teeth are rust resistant.

Analogs offered by Russian sellers are both cheaper and more expensive.

RACO rake in the online store:

As we can see, they are almost identical to the previous ones, but the price is 2 times lower.

Serrated rake offered in the OBI hypermarket:

The tool is 3 times cheaper than the Chinese PALISAD rake. The only difference is that this rake is not adjustable and has a wooden handle. But this can hardly be called a disadvantage, because the wood is stronger and more comfortable, and such a handle will not slip out of your hands.

There are also more expensive rakes, also offered by the OBI hypermarket. The price depends on the manufacturer and the raw materials from which they are made.

It's no secret that a rake is not a scarce and hard-to-find product. They can be found in any construction market, in many hypermarkets and garden shops in your city. Should I wait 2 months for delivery of goods from China? It hardly makes sense if you can buy a rake even on the way to the country.
