Sand Beach Pond River Zebra Mussel and Lake Rake. Made in America

I just received this today. Quality is good. I immediately put it together (two bolts) and went down to the lake to test it out. I have never used a tool that did as well at cleaning up. It was great for removing the small rocks that collect at the water's edge. Easy to pick them up, then swish to get the sand out, then dump them on a pile. It also pulled out zebra mussel clusters very neatly. It's making this Minnesota lake beach much nicer for bare feet. I recommend it. Thanks to the person who designed it.

The first day of use we noticed the rake was at a funny angle and saw the solder joint had cracked. It seemed to work well for snail shells but wish it were built better. Still waiting for a refund after returning the rake.

First and foremost I believe, based on feel and design and other reviews that this product will work just fine. If I had any doubt, this would be a 3 star or less. What I'm writing/complaining/ blabbing about is the sloppy drilling of holes in the fiberglass pole. It's super important that those drilled holes line up with the holes in the metal rake itself. These almost did, but alas, did not. A picture is included - sorry if it's tough to tell. But anyways, the top went in fine but the second did not. I had to use a small hammer to get it through. The quote for the company is Quality tool for a Quality job. Well, I'm not so sure it is quality with a capital Q if the makers can't even line up drill holes properly. Instant disappointment. Another thing is the directions. It's obviously all very straightforward in that you just put the rake head into the pole, line up the holes with the sticker facing up and then slide the bolts in and nut them up. But they also give you 4 washers. Why 4? Normally you use washers just on the nut end. Then as well, the nuts are self-grabbing ones (they have a plastic lining inside them)...so one would question if the washers are even necessary? I guess a little extra help doesn't hurt. But what about the extra 2 washers? They're not extras, because you'd most likely get extra bolts and nuts too. I'm not done. :) Let's say I wanted to use all 4 washers - one on each side of each bolt. It doesn't work. The bolts aren't long enough. And actually, the bolt included is just barely long enough so as the plastic lining of the self grabbing nut can screw onto the bolt. The best grab would not to use any washers. So yeah, the rake is cool and it's going to work. But the actual building of this rake still needs to be perfected to be a Quality product for my "quality" work. Update edit: I haven't touched this thing since writing the review and for some reason or another the rubber handle grew a crack. Looks like I'll be taping it like a baseball bat grip. Really close to dropping that score. Man.

works great built well but price is too high otherwise i would give it 5 stars

Using this rake to remove sharp stones and glass fragments from our neighborhood beach area. The work is painstakingly slow. But this rske is effective, so bought another.

Smaller than I expected. I would like to buy the double rake. Not big enough for doing my pond effectively.

This rake works perfect to get all the junk from the bottom of the lake out. Very sturdy too.

Purchased this product to remove pine needles, debris and to just keep our beach/sand looking clean. This product has a very small head and works no better than a regular rake bought from Walmart. I am very disappointed. The same day I received the rake I requested a refund. I paid 99.00 for the rake, to return the rake I have to pay a 30.00 restocking fee, shipping and insurance... What a rip off!!!!

great for shallow water. if there was a place at the end of the handle to tie a rope it would be great to throw and drag. expensive but it works well.

Good product

Useless Not worth the money would never buy again too small and not easy to use

It does not pick up weeds at all. It may pick up small rocks on the bottom of the lake, but does nothing for weeds. Very expensive for just a regular rake.
