Customer Reviews:

Great Rake [Posted on 2007-10-01]
Bought this rake based on the reviews I read here. Best rake I have ever owned. I have had it for over a year and have left it out in the rain on occassion but it still works great.

Not for pinestraw [Posted on 2008-01-06]
I bought this rake according to the reviews on Amazon.
The rake is light which I like but the only complaint
I have is that it is not made for pinestraw. Within a few
rakes it clogged, I spent more time unclogging the rake.

BEST LEAF RAKE EVER? [Posted on 2008-02-20]

COULD THIS BE THE BEST LEAF RAKE EVER?

Bought mine at LOWES a couple of years ago to replace another plastic-tined rake which I had been very pleased with. Was astounded at the comfort and effectiveness of the Fiskars rake vs. my old rake whose tines had been worn off. Loaned it to a neighbor - a recent college grad from one of the area's big engineering schools - very shortly later he had his own Fiskars!

Living in a veritable Druid's grove of various Quercus species, some of them with thin LIVE OAK type leaves, I have found this rake to be capable of gathering most of those with one pass.

Fiskars promotes this rake with the slogan:

LESS WORK; MORE WEEKEND

Believe it. [and thanks Fiskars engineers for a super product!]

TECHNICAL HI-LITES

1. TINES: are VERY sturdy and durable but you will need your garden rake to move big and/or damp piles of leaves

2. HANDLE: long enough for taller people but fine for shorter ones. The egg-shaped cross section allows much weight reduction yet provides great strength and it provides a level of comfort and fatigue-resistance that has to be experienced to be believed.

Disclaimer: Other than using their products I have absolutely no ties to Fiskars.

Not worth the extra money [Posted on 2008-03-11]
I bought this poduct at Lowe's.
Sure, it is nice rake: light, aluminum etc.

But after only 8 bags of leaves it fell apart. The screw holding the tines in place must have fallen out and into a bag of leaves.

So here I am, middle of the afternoon, plenty of raking left to go and I am going to have to spend time going back to the store to get another rake OR worse, wait for Fiskars to get back to me and make good on their warranty.

Save your time. Save your money.

Buy 3 less expensive rakes. When the first rake breaks pick up the second one and keep raking, and so on.

Who has time to waste going back and forth to the store on a weekend or any day to buy a rake. Or worse who has time to follow up with Fiskars?
Especially if you have a family.

Writing a review on Amazon, however, while calling Fiskars, doesn't take more than a few minutes.

Just now, I left voicemail message for Fiskars

great rake! [Posted on 2008-06-09]
Sweeps up leaves like no other rake I've used before - though unfortunately you still have to bag the leaves :)
