The Best Leaf Rake
We conducted more than 27 hours of research, investigated 42 different rake models, consulted with five professional landscapers from around the country, and tested five samples with members of the seasoned volunteer landscaping crew (ages 16 through over 70) at a tree-stuffed Audubon sanctuary, and found that the Steel-Tine Leaf Rake from Amazon is the best leaf rake available—its handle was sturdier and more firmly attached, and its tines were springier than the competition.
To clean up a yard covered with dead leaves, pine needles, grass clippings, or any other mess, we’d turn to Steel-Tine Leaf Rake. You can find it under several different brand names, depending on where you purchase it, but all of these variants offer the same reliable features: a tough, hardwood handle with a comfortable length and balance; a 24-inch span of metal tines flexible enough to sweep leaves and stiff enough to stand up to twigs; and a reasonable price. Our test rake even managed to survive over eight seasons of yard work with its tines, head, and handle intact. No rake is perfect, but if you want something sturdy and dependable to hang in your shed, the Jackson is as good as it gets.
