We are big fans of all things robotic and so we thought we would let you know about our latest recommendation for the best rake for harvesting your acorns. We reviewed several of the top rakes for acorn collecting and narrowed it down into 8 top picks. As Recommended Editor Choice, the Garden Weasel Big Nut Gatherer is our choice as the best rake for harvesting acorns. It has all of the features we look for in an electric rake and is easy to use and store.
In second place is the Reebok All Season Garden rake with the best rake handle. It is an affordable lawnmower that has a great variable-speed motor and durable construction. The handle is ergonomically designed and can be adjusted for any size hands from large to small. In addition to it being easy to handle, the removable heavy duty leaf thrower is great for collecting leaves, branches, debris and other smaller lawn debris.
For those of you that have a lot of rocks or dead grass to collect the Best Rake Handle combines two very useful features. The first is that it can be used as a mulch. Simply turn it on and let it rip! This is great for collecting fallen tree limbs, branches and uprooted trunks so they do not crowd your lawn.
For those of you that are short on yard space the Best Rake Handle also has a great fixed handle design. The adjustable handle lets you determine how much pressure you want to apply when harvesting your fruits and vegetables. We found that most people prefer the stronger steel blades but the Best Rake Handle has a blade made with plastic instead. While the plastic blade is not nearly as sharp as the steel blade, it is still good to have.
One of the biggest complaints we hear about while gardening is that people do not take the time to protect themselves when using these landscaping tools. With the Best Rake Handle and the adjustable handle you will be able to protect yourself and your hands from the blades. Even if you have just a small yard, you will want to wear some garden gloves so you will not accidentally cut yourself. These gardening gloves are usually made with thick leather but you can also buy them in some cotton as well.
The Best Rake Handles are available in both wood and plastic and there are many colors to choose from. For example there are green, black, ivory, yellow, red, pink, silver, and white models. Some of the Best Rakes have a handle that can be adjusted in length up to 24″. This makes it easy to vary the angle of the landscape rake as needed. Just make sure you are not putting any rocks on top of your lawn as you are working in dense hardwood or on extremely smooth stones or gravel.
Tines are a part of the landscape raking tool family and like the name implies they are a type of rake. If you use a lot of larger heavy stones or gravel, you will need a set of thicker tines to make your work easier. The tines can either be cast aluminum or made out of stainless steel. The cast aluminum tines tend to be more reliable than the stainless steel ones but both will do a fine job.
Although tines are a part of the family of landscape rakes there are some cons associated with them. The biggest con is that you will find that these types of rakes tend to be heavier than other models so be prepared to carry a larger handle and longer handle than you may like. There are some cons associated with these as well, so be sure to learn all of them before making a purchase.
