Rake AWTools AW00088 — 18‑tine unstiffened garden rake, model AW00088

AWTools AW00088 is an 18‑tine unstiffened garden rake with a hardened, polished steel head and powder‑coated finish. The head is fitted with 18 pressed tines and a welded socket; the unstiffened design allows close-to-ground raking for leaves, dead grass and light soil levelling. The lightweight head (about 650 g) makes the tool easy to handle for routine yard and soil work.

Advantages

The hardened and polished steel construction with a protective powder coat gives the rake durability and resistance to corrosion while the pressed tines provide consistent contact with the ground. The welded socket ensures a secure connection to a handle, and the unstiffened head design enables precise, low-profile raking for collecting debris and smoothing soil.

Suitable for

• Collecting leaves and garden debris
• Removing dead grass and thatch
• Light soil loosening and levelling
• Fine surface preparation before planting or seeding

When it may not be suitable

Because the head is unstiffened and relatively lightweight, this rake is not intended for heavy digging, breaking up compacted soil or moving large stones. For intensive landscaping or heavy-duty earthmoving tasks, a sturdier, framed rake or a different tool is more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Head material: hardened, polished steel with powder‑coated finish
• Number of tines: 18 pressed tines
• Connection: welded socket for handle attachment
• Head weight: approximately 650 g
• Primary uses: leaf collection, light leveling, thatch removal, soil loosening
• Origin: made in Poland

How to use

Attach a compatible handle into the welded socket and secure it according to the handle manufacturer’s instructions. Use short, controlled raking motions close to the surface to collect leaves and debris or to smooth and level soil. Apply light pressure when removing thatch or loosening soil to avoid bending the pressed tines. After use, clean off dirt and debris and store the rake in a dry place to preserve the powder‑coat finish.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure you have or buy a compatible handle that fits the welded socket
• Consider whether an unstiffened, lightweight head meets the demands of your tasks
• Check if you need a framed or heavy‑duty rake for intensive landscaping work

Usage recommendations

Use the AWTools AW00088 for routine garden maintenance: light leaf collection, surface levelling and removing dead grass. Avoid using it for heavy digging or moving large rocks to prevent damage to the tines and prolong tool life.
