This rake is primarily designed for cultivating surface soil, leveling ground before sowing, and preparing seedbeds. Its lighter weight makes it ideal for general garden bed maintenance.

The handle is 95cm (approximately 37.4 inches) long and made from FSC-certified Ash wood.
Ash wood is known for its strength, flexibility, and shock-absorbing qualities, providing a comfortable and durable grip.
