but there are always exceptions.

Thanks for your comments guys! It really has been a long time since I found a new tool that I really loved. Most of them I try and then they slowly drift to the back of my truckbox until I give them away to a less fussy gardener.

This looks like a keeper Genevieve. Thanks for the great review. I forwarded your posting to my husband - subtle hint! By the way, I've been thinking of you. You've unleashed a pruning fiend here in the northeast. Pruned my roses and really gave a rampant honeysuckle a run for its money today. Thanks for all your pruning advice. Came in handy these past few days. Ann Ann’s last blog post..Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day - March 2009

I’ve not tried the rake, but I love the smaller hand tools from Radius, which I’m honor-bound as a long-term Ann Arbor resident to tell you is made by a person/company in Ann Arbor (though I don’t personally know them).

Hey Gen As soon as I saw the words lighter weight I knew I had to get the "garden shark". I will definitely pick one up the next time I'm at the hardware store. What is more amazing is that you write so eloquently about a rake. I'm impressed my dear. iona’s last blog post..A Brief Note

Great review! (ditto above on your expressions!) I like the florescent orange; I might not lose the tool. Sounds like another big benefit for me would be not clocking myself up'side the head any more. Of course, I'm always one for challenges.

Thanks for the informative review – I agree with Fern’s comment about your facial expressions. A picture truly is worth a 1,000 words. It’s funny how a strangely shaped, brightly colored rake can make spreading mulch look like fun!

Your different facial expressions cracked me up. My general gripe with tools is that they are often painted green. Well...hello! Grass is green. Leaves are green. I hate having to hunt through the grass or the weed pile to find my tools! So it's nice that these rakes are bright colors, I bet that helps in locating them quickly.
