The Fiskars 8-inch shrub rake features a nearly-unbreakable rake head made from virgin resin, and extra-wide tines.

The sturdy aluminum shaft is lightweight for ease of use, and is also teardrop-shaped for ergonomic comfort. The long handle also reduces back fatigue by allowing you to use the rake at a proper angle.

Fiskars 8-Inch Shrub Rake #9661 Reviews
They are all very well made, quality products. Hard to believe you could get excited about a rake but this one really is great for those hard to reach spots. We also have the larger rake and love it as well. We have several Fiskar garden tools and plan to get more. Both rakes are very light weight and have nice long handles so you don't have to stoop.
However this makes it ideal for gently combing your plants. The tines are very flexible and are useful at a wide range of angles unlike most rakes. The only drawback with the Fiskar rake is its flexibility which means it can't be used to scrape the ground or move light soil around like I am able to do with my stiffer shrub rakes. I bought this along with the 24" Fiskar rake and carry both of them where I go in the garden. Like the 24" rake, the design is very light with an oblong handle designed for better grip and orientation. Overall, I believe every fastidious gardener could use this product. Although this is called a shrub rake, it's useful for a variety of garden projects, such as raking the edge of borders, sculpting the mulch around plants, or sweeping fine garden debris from the lawn into a dust pan.
This rake is perfect for clearing leaves and debris in and around plants.I love it.
Other than that, the design of the claw really works. Very light, very handy under tight spaces and you don't have to spear this thing like bigger and heavier rakes, just reach it out and put it down, pull the claw back and towards you with a little elegance in your posture, too bad though the claw are too thin and it bounces more than I wanted from time to time.
It also manages to lift very small leaves and dead grass from a lawn, so is good for thatching. Great for reaching under hedges. Debris never sticks in the tines of this rake, eiter. We only had one of these rakes, and would fight over who would use it, so we got a second one. It is extremely light & comfortable with a padded long handle. I can't find anything wrong with this great product. I'm curious to see if the large/normal size rake by Fiskars works as great as this one. It's small size lets it fit in tight spaces.
