Bully Tools Bow Rake 16" Tines, Heavy Duty Steel Garden Rake for Leaves

The Bully Tools Bow Rake is a lawn and landscaping tool built for gathering yard debris, clearing leaves, leveling soil, and spreading dense materials such as gravel, stone, and mulch. Built for both residential yard maintenance and commercial job sites, it provides the structural strength needed to tackle compacted ground without bending. It suits homeowners and professional landscapers who need a dependable rake for demanding outdoor work.

At the heart of the tool is a 16-inch wide head crafted from 10-gauge USA steel. The head features 16 thick steel tines with ribbed teeth and reinforced ridges that add rigidity when digging into tough dirt or raking heavy stone loads. To prevent individual tines from snapping off under heavy strain, the connection points feature robotic overwelding. A protective powder coat finish guards the steel head against rust across changing weather conditions and seasons.

For handling and leverage, the tool pairs its steel head with a lightweight fiberglass handle. The shaft is encased in a polyester veil to prevent splinters from forming over time, protecting your hands during repetitive yard work. A comfortable rubber grip at the top helps minimize hand fatigue when pulling debris or leveling dirt for long stretches. Users can select between a 58-inch and a 66-inch overall handle length to best match their height and stance.

While designed for durability, there are a few practical trade-offs to keep in mind. The rake requires minor assembly when received, though setting it up takes under a minute using a standard Phillips head screwdriver. In addition, with a fixed head width of 16 inches and a length of 3.5 inches, it is designed primarily for broad surface tasks rather than working inside narrow flower beds or tight garden spaces.

Verdict: This steel bow rake is a solid recommendation for anyone managing tough yard work, landscaping tasks, or ground prep. Its thick steel head, overwelded tines, and comfortable handle make it a practical tool for outdoor maintenance. If you need to clear debris, spread gravel, or break up compacted soil, this rake delivers reliable long-term service.
