Troubleshooting

Handle feels loose

Ensure the head is securely attached to the handle. If loose, gently tap the handle end on a solid surface to seat it firmly, or consult a hardware professional for securement.

Head is showing signs of rust

Light rust on the carbon steel head can be removed with a stiff brush or fine-grit sandpaper. Dry thoroughly after cleaning and consider applying a light coating of oil to prevent further corrosion.

Ash handle is dry or splintering

Lightly sand any rough areas and apply a coat of linseed oil or a wood conditioner suitable for garden tools. Store the rake in a dry environment to prevent excessive drying.
