Sneeboer Hand Leaf Rake

While the stainless steel head is robust, this tool is designed for precision cleanup and light debris removal in tight spaces. It excels at clearing leaves from beneath shrubs or between delicate perennials, but it is not intended for heavy-duty raking of large, wet piles.

The head is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally rust-resistant. Even with regular contact with damp soil or garden debris, it will maintain its integrity and shine far longer than carbon steel alternatives.

Both handle options are FSC-certified hardwoods that offer excellent durability and a comfortable, natural grip. The choice between Ash and Cherry is primarily aesthetic, as both materials are equally suited for the rigors of garden work.

This is a hand tool with an overall length of 15.5 inches, making it specifically designed for kneeling or sitting while working in garden beds. It is not long enough to be used comfortably while standing.

To keep the handle in top condition, wipe off any dirt after use and store the tool in a dry place. Periodically applying a light coat of linseed oil can help nourish the wood and prevent it from drying out or cracking.
