The Draper Expert Tarmac Rake with Ash Shaft (model 52957) is designed for landscaping professionals and serious gardeners needing to efficiently level and spread materials like tarmac, gravel, or soil. Its key benefit lies in the sturdy construction and wide, round-tooth head for effective material distribution. A potential caveat is its size and weight, which may be less suitable for very confined spaces or users requiring a lighter tool.

This rake is primarily designed for spreading and leveling heavy, coarse materials like tarmac, gravel, crushed stone, and soil.
The rake features a 16-round tooth head. Specific width measurements are not detailed, but it is designed for substantial material movement.
With a handle length of 167.5 cm, it provides good reach and is generally suitable for most adult users, reducing the need for excessive bending.
No, the round, sturdy teeth are not designed for lawn aeration. A separate lawn aeration tool would be required for that purpose.
Keep the handle dry and consider applying a light coat of linseed oil periodically to prevent drying and cracking, especially during long-term storage.
The rake weighs approximately 2.7kg, making it robust for its tasks but potentially heavier for prolonged use compared to lighter tools.
While it can move soil, its design is optimized for coarser materials. For fine soil preparation, a rake with finer or flatter tines might offer more precision.
Ensure the socket is fully seated on the handle. If the issue persists, it may require professional re-fitting or replacement of the tool.
Ensure you are using the rake correctly for the material. For very fine materials, a rake with finer tines might be more appropriate. Ensure the material is spread evenly before final leveling.
Apply a light coat of linseed oil to the affected areas of the handle and allow it to soak in. Store the rake in a dry environment.
Setup:
This rake comes pre-assembled with the head securely fixed to the ash shaft. No additional setup is required.
Compatibility:
This tool is designed for heavy-duty ground work and is compatible with various landscaping materials such as tarmac, gravel, soil, and sand. It is not designed for use with specialized attachments.
