Product Information
Full details
The Gear4Garage All Steel Tarmac Rake is designed for professional groundworkers, landscapers, and contractors who need a heavy-duty tool for spreading and leveling tarmac, asphalt, and other surfacing materials. Its standout benefit is the robust all-steel construction and 16 forged teeth that offer exceptional durability under rigorous job-site conditions, though its solid steel frame makes it significantly heavier than lighter aluminum alternatives.

FAQs
Can this rake be used for soil and gravel?
Yes, while specifically designed for tarmac and asphalt, the durable steel teeth and handle make it an excellent choice for heavy gravel and topsoil leveling.
Is the handle replaceable?
The rake features an all-steel integrated design; the handle is permanently fixed to the head for maximum durability.
How heavy is the rake?
Due to its all-steel construction, it is designed for heavy-duty use and has a substantial weight to assist in pushing and leveling materials effectively.
Is the handle adjustable?
No, the 1650mm handle is a fixed length to ensure structural rigidity and safety during heavy-duty professional operation.
Does the rake come with a warranty?
Please check your specific point of purchase documentation, as warranty coverage for Gear4Garage products is typically provided through the retailer.
Troubleshooting
Asphalt sticking to the teeth
Apply a thin layer of professional release agent or vegetable oil to the teeth before and during work to minimize adhesion.
Surface rust appearing on the steel
Use a wire brush to remove light oxidation and apply a coat of oil or anti-corrosion spray for long-term storage.
Rubber grip becoming loose
Ensure the handle is clean and dry; if the grip continues to slide, apply a small amount of heavy-duty adhesive designed for rubber-to-metal bonding.
Pros and Cons

- Requires regular maintenance to prevent surface rust
Setup, Compatibility & Care
This rake arrives fully assembled and ready for immediate use. Because the unit is constructed entirely of steel, care should be taken to clean the head after each use, especially when working with asphalt, which can build up and harden. If residue persists, use a light coat of release agent or vegetable oil on the teeth before starting the day to discourage sticking. Store the rake in a dry, covered area to prevent rust, and check the rubber grip periodically to ensure it remains securely attached to the handle.
