Intro
------
As the youngster of the family, in a house which will, courtesy of autumn, be absolutely surrounded in leaves in a few months, it is my job to go outside and clear it up - in exchange for multiple things i am no doubt ungrateful for! Anyway, to do this, obviously i demand the right sort of tool for the job, and this leaf rake really does excel. There is not too much that you can say about what is essentially just a simple rake, but what i do have to say, is all positive!


The rake
-----------
The actually rake part itself is very well designed. The closeness of the rakes 'fingers' means that even the thinnest of the leaves get swept up, and it also helps to bring up all the horrible nasty mud that gets engrained into your patio with the wet leaves, as they are all close together. It is made from stainless steel also, which is a massive positive, as it means that you do not really have to worry about durability - as you know that that type of material is going to excel in that respect. Wilkinson are also obviously are very recognised and well known brand, so the product is always going to be unlikely to ever let you down on a cold autumn morning.


The handle
--------------
Another positive part of the product. The handle has an extra thickly coated shaft, meaning that it can be very comfortable to grip. Obviously there is nothing worse than spending a few hours out in the garden and coming in with absolutely wrecked hands and fingers, so this comfort grip really does add to the product. It is also about the right length, as you never feel detached from the product, you always seem to have good control, and it allows you to get the job done quickly.


The price
-----------
To be honest, this was purchased by my parents, and i have absolutely no clue what a rake would usually retail at. This is about £30 i think, which to me seems a bit steep, but if this is the going rate, then i would certainly recommend, as it does the job very wel..


Summary
-----------
A basic, and probably quite boring, product, but one that does the job perfectly. If you need a leaf rake, i would not hesitate in recommending this. Back to more interesting reviews tomorrow, i promise, unless your a rake enthusiast...which i really doubt!
