This tool may not be the best choice for heavy-duty construction tasks, such as moving large amounts of gravel or heavy rocks, as the teeth are designed primarily for soil and organic debris.

How to use
To use the Flo 35784 Rake, hold the wooden handle firmly with both hands, positioning your dominant hand near the top and the other along the shaft for better control. For leaf collection, pull the rake toward you in smooth, steady strokes, gathering debris into manageable piles. When aerating soil or removing moss, apply light downward pressure to allow the steel teeth to penetrate the surface. Ensure you maintain a stable stance and use your legs rather than your back to provide the necessary force for raking.
What to consider before purchase
- Check if the 140 cm length is comfortable for your height
- Ensure you have adequate storage space for a full-length tool
- Consider the type of terrain you will be working on most frequently
Usage recommendations
Regularly clean the steel teeth after use to prevent rust and remove any trapped organic matter. Store the rake in a dry, covered area to protect the wooden handle from moisture and environmental damage, which will significantly extend the lifespan of the tool.
