Rake AWTools AW00097 — garden rake, 16 tines, weight 980 g

AWTools AW00097 is a garden rake with a hardened and polished steel frame and a powder-coated finish. The head is fitted with 16 pressed tines and has a riveted and welded socket. The tool comes with a smoothly ground wooden shaft that provides comfort and a firm grip. It is made in Poland and designed for general yard and garden tasks where a medium-fine tine rake is required.

Advantages

The hardened and polished steel frame with a powder-coated finish improves durability and resistance to corrosion. Sixteen pressed tines provide an even, consistent action for collecting leaves, removing dead grass and light soil work. A riveted and welded socket strengthens the connection between head and handle, while the smoothly ground wooden shaft ensures comfortable handling and secure grip during extended use. The rake is lightweight at approximately 980 g, making it easy to manoeuvre during routine garden maintenance.

Suitable for

• Collecting leaves and lawn debris
• Removing dead grass and thatch
• Loosening and leveling topsoil
• Spreading mulch or compost
• Light weeding and general garden tidying

When it may not be suitable

This rake is not intended for heavy-duty digging or breaking up compacted or rocky soil. Tasks requiring thick, widely spaced tines or a sturdier construction—such as moving large stones, heavy roots or dense clay—may need a heavy-duty rake or fork designed for intensive labour.

Key specifications

• Head material: hardened and polished steel with powder-coated finish
• Number of tines: 16 pressed tines
• Socket: riveted and welded
• Handle: smoothly ground wooden shaft for comfort and grip
• Weight: approximately 980 g
• Origin: Poland

How to use

Hold the wooden shaft with both hands and use a sweeping motion to gather leaves and debris into piles. For removing dead grass or light thatch, rake across the lawn surface with moderate pressure to pull material up without damaging the turf. When leveling soil or spreading mulch, use even strokes to distribute material and finish with a light back-and-forth motion for a smooth surface. Store the rake dry to protect the wooden handle and the powder-coated head.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended tasks: suitable for light to medium garden work such as leaf collection and surface leveling
• Weight and handling: lightweight design (about 980 g) for ease of use
• Durability: steel head with powder coating and riveted/welded socket for stable connection
• Handle material: wooden shaft offers comfort but requires drying and occasional maintenance

Usage recommendations

Use gentle to moderate pressure for lawn and surface tasks, keep the rake clean after use, and store in a dry place to prolong the life of the wooden handle and the powder-coated head.
