I bought these rakes now the 2nd (and last) time. First, the positives: The rake is perfect on the geometry ago. You can quickly and thoroughly raking large areas, whether grass clippings, leaves or twigs. The trouble is that the tines are very stable indeed addressed head-down in pressure (when computing the norm), to the side, the prongs bend but even at low power. And it happened very quickly, especially on uneven surfaces or on slopes that get stuck again and already is the outermost tines bent. You have him then break out (goes easily by hand). Because I do not want me to buy every season a new rake that was the last time. Although I regret this, because I have not yet found a suitable replacement.
Is off topic, but generally to Gardena: As I have already cost many nerves and their garden hose couplings (also go every few years break, before a stepped on?) Died the brand for me. Who wants what durable for irrigation, to inquire after times claw couplings. Are much better also of handling, since each part / end of the hose can be connected to each other and not always just plug into socket.
