FAQs

What is the primary use of this Tarmac Rake?

This rake is primarily designed for levelling and spreading loose materials such as Tarmac, gravel, sand, and soil, especially over large areas in professional construction and ground care settings.

What are the dimensions of the rake's blade?

The blade measures 16 inches wide by 4 inches long.

How long is the wooden handle?

The handle is 48 inches (approximately 122 cm) long.

What is the weight of the rake?

The rake weighs 2.5kg.

Is this rake suitable for breaking up hard soil?

While robust, this rake is optimized for raking and levelling. For breaking up heavily compacted soil, a spade or pickaxe might be more appropriate.

Does the rake come assembled?

Yes, the Pegdev Tarmac Rake comes fully assembled and ready for use.

What makes this rake suitable for professional use?

Its heavy-duty construction, durable materials, and design for efficient material handling in demanding environments make it suitable for professional applications.

Troubleshooting

Blade becomes loose from handle

Ensure the ferrule (metal collar) connecting the blade to the handle is secure. If it has loosened, it may require professional re-securing or replacement of the handle.

Wooden handle shows signs of splintering

Lightly sand the affected area smooth. Apply a coat of wood oil or sealant to protect the wood and prevent further splintering. If splintering is severe, consider handle replacement.

Rake is not levelling material effectively

Ensure the material being levelled is loose and not compacted. For heavy compaction, alternative tools may be needed. Clean any debris that might be obstructing the blade.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely durable construction for professional, heavy-duty use.
  • Long hardwood handle offers good reach and leverage.
  • Effective for levelling large quantities of loose materials.
  • Reliable performance in demanding construction environments.

Cons

  • The 2.5kg weight may be heavy for prolonged manual use for some users.
  • Primarily designed for raking and levelling, less suited for digging or breaking up compacted material.
  • Wooden handle, while strong, may require occasional maintenance to prevent splintering or warping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Pegdev Tarmac Rake comes fully assembled and ready for immediate use.

Compatibility: This rake is designed for general ground care and construction tasks. It is compatible with various loose materials including Tarmac, gravel, sand, soil, and other aggregates.

Care: To ensure longevity and optimal performance:

  1. Cleaning: After each use, remove any residual material from the blade and handle. A stiff brush or a damp cloth is usually sufficient.
  2. Storage: Store the rake in a dry environment to prevent the wooden handle from absorbing moisture, which could lead to warping or splintering. Avoid storing it in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
  3. Handle Maintenance: Periodically inspect the wooden handle for any signs of wear, such as splinters or cracks. If necessary, lightly sand the handle and apply a wood sealant or oil to protect it.
