I switched to the groundskeeper takes a few years ago and never looked back. Fiberglass handles you can buy separate for $8 a pop and replace. Nice and light and don't pick up rocks.
But of course my good man! I've had the same one for over ten years! Not a rake that goes out everyday, they are pretty much only good for the chips and grinding you know.
No heavy duty steel here, its to heavy, to much energy used per stroke. You have to have tight tool, not a floppy heavy hunk of junk.
My stone/landscape rake is also aluminum, one solid piece, nothing to come loose like rakes do. A normal stone rake is about 20 or more inches wide, mine is about 12 to keep the strokes easier with less material. It gets heavy and rake work will tire you out. You know what it feel like after you put the tree on the truck and now have to rake both the front and back. What a bummer!
