One thing to think about when choosing a rake is what kind of handle you prefer. Most handles will be exactly what you expect: a straight handle off the head of the rake that will be thick and durable. Some rakes will include an extra D-grip that can make the rake easier to maneuver and use for extended periods of time. This D-grip can be inconvenient if you’re not planning to use it, but if you want an easier grip with increased leverage, this rake might especially interest you.
Also, we talked in the above section about adjustable rakes. Some rakes will have adjustable heights, while others will have an adjustable width. A couple of rakes on this list will have both, while others will have neither. Rakes that aren’t adjustable may be slightly more durable for tougher jobs, as you won’t have to worry about pieces coming undone while the rake is in use. However, this is a minimal concern, and we think most users will prefer adjustable rakes for the wide range of tasks they can perform.

A: It depends on which rake you purchase. Smaller rakes will be around 30 inches long and can be great for one-handed jobs in flower beds or even for kids to use when helping their parents out in the yard. Longer rakes will be up to 60 inches long, allowing you to easily collect leaves or spread gravel while cutting down on the amount of time you spend bent over. This will help you get your work done without worrying about all of the stress it puts on your back.
A: Smaller rake heads will only be around seven inches wide, while wider rakes can be up to 23 inches wide. Many of these rakes are adjustable, meaning that you’ll get a narrow and a wide rake in the same purchase. This is great news because a wider rake will allow you to collect more debris in less time, while a smaller rake will be a helpful tool for reaching small or tight spaces, or for use in your flower beds. With many of these rakes, you’ll get the best of both worlds all in the same purchase.
