The Ames True Temper rake filled the bill for the work we had to do. We needed to clean up the yard before putting down new grass seed. There was lots of dead grass left there by a gardener who never cleaned up after himself. After working on that, we pulled tons of crab grass. It was a lot of work, but this rake was the best tool for the job, standing up to the piles of stuff we cleared out. I consider the price quite moderate for the quality of the tool!
