About this item
- NOT AN ORDINARY GARDEN TOOL - Most rakes on the market scoop small amounts of leaves, but often bend and break under pressure. This causes back problems and wastes your precious time on projects that should be quick and easy. Switch to our Rake Assassin, and you’ll see an astounding difference during your outdoor projects. It’s perfect for men and women.
- STURDY HANDLE - Most rake handles dig into your hands, whether they are plastic or wood. Our expertly-designed rake handle is durable and made of heavy-duty, lightweight, powder-coated aluminum with a plastic D-handle. It isn’t prone to chipping and rusting like your average metal rake handle. It’s 58” long and weighs just 1.75 lbs. And the 2-piece aluminum pole makes transport and storage easy.
- WORK WITH EASE - No matter what outdoor task you have to accomplish with your Rake Assassin, it will do the job in half the time it would take with an ordinary rake. Whether you are removing grass, leaves, tree waste, pruning clippings, fallen fruit, or moss, your Rake Assassin will be your yard’s new best friend. It can skim your swimming pool better than most nets and has shoveling capabilities.
- MORE THAN A RAKE - Our Rake Assassin has a unique design that uses innovative technology to make raking and cleaning up a breeze. The bend in the bottom half of the pole allows you to roll the handle to convert the rake into a shovel. With the Rake Assassin, you can draw the pile of leaves or waste to you and then scoop it up with a simple hand motion. No need for plastic “hands” or another rake!
- ROOT ASSASSIN QUALITY PROMISE - At Root Assassin, we believe in quality without compromise. You should be able to trust your tools completely, especially when using them for important projects. We make products that meet our highest level of excellence to keep our customers happy and safe. Need a storage solution? The Rake Assassin fits well in our garden tool holder (also on Amazon)!

You can't do that with any of the other rakes. It was very easy to assemble took me maybe 5 minutes including cutting it out of the box.
Probably going to give a few of these as gifts this year.
The only thing I can see that might make it easier to assemble for some people without the dexterity, would be a wing nut on the back in lieu of the small locking nut. This would make it even faster to assemble and even easier to torque. Also, it would cut down on the number of assembly tools to just a flathead or a Phillips head screwdriver.
If you need a rake get this one. It's fantastic
Original—I love the design of the Root Assassin Rake, but I would make a few changes. The pin that holds the rake to the handle fell out the first time I used it. I was able to replace it with a screw and keep on going. I also wish the tines were stronger—I haven’t broken any, but I’m always afraid that I’m going to. I was hoping that I could also use this to pick up dog droppings, but it’s not very effective for that—tines are too far apart, and unless the poop is frozen it will just make a big mess. Great for sifting lumps out of dirt and for leveling out fresh dirt over grass seed—made this chore so easy! Very useful in leaf cleanup as well.
8-2-2021 Update
I have had this tool almost a year now and it has held up fine, so far. In addition to the uses I mentioned earlier, I've found it useful for picking up rocks from the surface of the soil after tilling a garden. I don't have to bend over to pick rocks, which my back really appreciates. The tool can handle rocks up to the size of a large tomato without problems. The tines are flexible, so they bend rather than breaking if they're stressed by too much weight or force. I still think it's overpriced, but it has held up so far.
Not sure it’ll be strong enough to scoop mulch, haven’t tried that yet. The tines are plastic so the mulch will need to be loose, not packed down. Another reviewer said it worked well with mulch.
Yes, it’s great to scoop loose acorns. Oh, and that sassy red handle! Love it!
Lightweight and the tines are not as hard plastic as normal mucking rakes, so they don't break as easily.
Been using the product for 2 months and it makes my life so much easier.
EDIT: Have had this rake now for over a year and it's still fully functional, didn't break and is still the go to for stall mucking!
