Forged Steel Straight Rake

• 16-1/2" Forged Steel Head 
• Northern Ash Handle 
• 16 Straight Teeth 
• Leveling, Clod Breaking, & Spreading
• Lifetime Warranty

The Forged Steel Straight Rake is built for tough jobs. The forged 16-1/2 inch head is joined to a thick Northern ash handle through a welded 14-gauge socket, and the handle is riveted in place for a connection that holds up under heavy pulls. The straight-tooth layout gives you good control for leveling soil, breaking up clods, and dragging topsoil, compost, or gravel where you want it. We recommend it for bed prep and grading work when a lighter lawn rake just chatters across the surface.

With 16 teeth at 2-3/4 inches long, it bites into worked soil without feeling overly aggressive, and the sturdy head construction helps prevent tooth breakage over time. The 62-inch handle keeps your posture upright and gives leverage, while the 4.5-pound weight helps the rake stay planted when you’re moving heavier material. Because of the length, carriers apply an additional handling fee at checkout.

Product Tips

• For leveling, rake in two directions (north-south, then east-west) to spot high and low areas quickly.
• When spreading compost or topsoil, pull material toward you in thin layers rather than trying to drag a full mound.
• Use shorter strokes around edging and irrigation so the teeth don’t snag lines or fabric.
• Knock soil off the head after use; dried clods add weight and reduce bite.
• Store it hanging or off the ground so the teeth don’t get bent by other tools.

FAQs

What is this rake best used for?

It’s best for leveling soil, breaking up clumps, and spreading heavier materials like topsoil, compost, and gravel.

How to use a straight rake for finish leveling?

Start by knocking down high spots with light, shallow passes. Then rake diagonally across the area with longer strokes to blend, and finish with quick, overlapping passes to smooth the surface without creating ridges.

What makes this more durable than a typical rake?

The head and teeth are forged steel, and the ash handle is set deep and riveted into a welded 14-gauge socket, which helps prevent loosening and tooth breakage.

Is the handle weather resistant?

Yes. The handle is lacquered for weather resistance, and the ash build is intended for heavy use.

What warranty comes with it?

It’s backed by A.M. Leonard’s lifetime warranty program.
