Though the short, flat tines of a bow rake aren’t as long and spindly as those of other rakes, they can still pull leaves from lawns and clear the area with ease. Plus, the metal tines are typically much stronger than the plastic tines or thin metal ones on standard leaf rakes. A bow rake often has a steel head and a wooden, metal, or fiberglass handle. The metal tines of a proper bow rake are much shorter than that of a leaf rake and are straight (though some models come with curved tines), which contributes to a strong and sturdy tool. It’s a versatile rake that can do more than what it’s meant for and hardier tasks won’t ruin its durable construction. Fillers like gravel and stones can be spread easily thanks to the durable construction of a bow rake. A quality option will have strong metal tines that won’t bend under pressure, making it a great tool for this task. Leveling
