TruPro Asphalt Rake, 14 Tines, 60-Inch Wood Handle (Model R-14XSH / 33105)

My company does infrared asphalt repair. I bought these rakes because of Amazon fast shipping but had never tried this brand. The handle is longer than I usually get and the rake tines are longer than I usually use but I needed them faster than my usual vendor could send them. Been using them for about a month and they do just fine. The handle is a bit more flexible than I am used to but they don't break and while the tines are longer they haven't bent yet, which matters for pushing and raking actual hot asphalt.

You won't be able to break this rake!!

Received tool and the tines were bent

This is a heavy duty rake. My husband loves it. We use it for gravel and even in our yard. It's used on our farm for various tasks. Perfect.

Rake is pretty well make for ok task but if you have to put a lot of weight behind it the handle feels like it would break, and for asphalt work the rake head did bend, i was able to bend back straight easy enough though

This replaces a rake that I've had for years that I use when burning debris from tree maintenance on our forested property. Such a rake must be strong, heavy, sturdy, and durable to handle a task that requires pushing and pulling heavy limbs and sections of tree trunks and "stirring" large piles of large coals to facilitate an efficient and effective burn of the pile while it is burning. This rake will hold up. Well built for pushing and pulling heavy material. I would like the handle to be 6-12 inches longer like my previous model to give me a little more reach when working near a hot fire, but otherwise. It's perfect.

Great for pulling piles of rock or asphalt
