My 4 year old granddaughters toy rake is of better quality then this rake. To begin with, the rakes tines or prongs are very flimsy. The rake has 4 metal pipes that are threaded on either end the first one screws into the head (portion you rake with) %26 then the second, third %26 so on... the metal is subpar %26 when you thread each section together the sections refuse to tighten up completely. The smaller head portion is just as ridiculous as the larger one. Overall this rake is of very poor quality %26 it Is not worth what you pay,. i haven't used the rake but I'm willing to bet there's no way it will hold up to my 2 acre wooded lot. I'll definitely be returning this thing ASAP...!!!
