The AMES 22-Tine Steel Leaf Rake is a heavy-duty yard tool with flexible steel tines and a hardwood/steel handle designed for reliable leaf, thatch, and debris removal.

Whether you maintain a small residential lawn or a larger garden area, a dependable rake makes cleanup faster and less tiring. This AMES model combines a robust 22-tine steel head with a hybrid hardwood and steel handle that resists twisting and loosening. Built for long-term use, it assembles quickly and aims to give steady, smooth raking action so you can move more material in fewer passes.

How does this rake perform on leaves, grass clippings, and light thatch?

The 22 flexible steel tines are designed to gather leaves, straw, hay and grass without bending out of shape, and the coil-spring action smooths each stroke. It’s suitable for routine surface cleanup and light thatch removal, helping restore turf airflow and appearance when used properly.

• 22 steel tines spread across a 21.6-inch head for broad coverage
• Flexible tines pull surface debris without digging into soil
• Coil spring action reduces resistance for easier raking
• Effective for yard waste like leaves, grass clippings, and light thatch

What makes the handle more durable than a standard wooden shaft?

This model features a patent-pending connection where a steel collar and bolted head reinforce the hardwood shaft, minimizing twist and loosening over time. The combination of hardwood strength and a steel upper section balances durability with comfortable handling.

• Hardwood main shaft for natural strength and shock resistance
• Steel-reinforced section at the head for a secure, long-lasting joint
• Bolted head connection prevents wobble or separation
• Oversized 6-inch comfort grip reduces hand fatigue on long jobs

How easy is assembly and daily use?

The rake ships with all required hardware and assembles in a single, simple step so it’s ready for immediate use. In day-to-day work the flexible tines and comfortable grip make repetitive raking less strenuous, and the wide head covers large swaths to cut task time.

• One-time, quick assembly with provided bolts and fittings
• Head stays securely in place after correct installation
• Wide 21.6-inch head reduces passes over the lawn
• Comfort grip supports longer sessions without excessive hand strain

Will this rake hold up season after season?

Built from durable materials and engineered to resist loosening, the AMES rake is intended for repeated seasonal use. Proper storage and occasional care—like drying before storage and tightening bolts—will extend its service life further.

• Steel tines resist permanent bending under normal loads
• Bolted steel-to-wood joint prevents head rotation and wear
• Designed for routine yard cleanup across multiple seasons
• Simple maintenance preserves function and appearance
