Emsco Group 9049 Rake

This rake is a perfect child-sized replica of the real thing. My granddaughter loves to work in the garden alongside the adults; this is sturdy and sized for probably age 4 and up. My granddaughter is 4 and it's a little long for her, but it will grow with her for sure. I actually used it myself to get around my daylilies and it worked beautifully!

I was looking for a good rake for my newly installed artificial turf / grass in both my front and back yard. This "kid rake" (which is good for adults too) is actually as good as the the "Turf rakes" (that cost $30 to $40). I got this idea from the landscaper who installed my turf.

Love this rake

I needed a rake for myself and ordered this one quickly. (First time I purchased something without reading reviews). I thought it was a real rake based on the title (they should really put childrens rake or toy in the title). I can't give it a negative review because it was buyer error. Good quality for a kids rake. It took me 8 days and 14 hours to rake my backyard with this lol

I bought this because it was the cheapest rake on Amazon, because I couldn’t find my rake and really needed one. I figured it would show up eventually (it did) so I didn’t really want to spend a lot; although this is advertised as a kid’s rake, I’m short (5’4”) and I have used a kid’s shovel quite effectively for digging up the roots of weeds in my lawn (it’s bigger than a spade so I get the whole root system with one shove into the ground, but it’s narrower than most shovels so I don’t get a bunch of lawn with the weed and I don’t have to bend over or kneel to use a spade). So I figured the shorter handle length wouldn’t be a problem with this rake.Well, I might like it if the handle was another 3 inches or so, but I manage to make it work, and I don’t have a lot of *excess* handle to deal with like I do with a regular rake. I’m developing a collection of petite-sized garden tools. The span is not terribly wide, about like a regular shrubbery rake, so it took a little longer to get everything up, but not much, and the teeth are good at grabbing things, even grass cuttings (which is what I needed it for — after a Washington winter, the first lawn trimming must be done with a weed whacker because it grows so tall in all that rain, you can’t get a lawnmower into the thicket, so you have to gather the clippings by hand instead of catching them in a bag).It is held to the pole with staples, not a set screw, but I’ve had set screws slip on a rake head before, and these staples do a fine job holding it in place. I figure if they wear out I can just put a wood screw through it. If the plastic head breaks — it shouldn’t if I don’t let it get sun-weathered and treat it decently, it’s pretty sturdy plastic — I can always buy another rake head and set it on the pole.Plus, now that I found my full-size rake, I’m all ready to have a niece or nephew help out in the garden (I really do need to get a full-sized shovel, though, at least for turning the compost pile).

good value

My 3yo opening Christmas morning, and it immediately broke. So sad.

Yes, helps picking up after the dogs goes potty 👍
