Top 8 Bow Rakes | Video Review

This wiki has been updated 19 times since it was first published in February of 2019. When it's not leaves you want to move but dirt, sand, or soil, you probably need a bow rake. Also called level head rakes, these handy gardening tools can tackle tasks that are too heavy-duty for fan-shaped models, including breaking up earth or leveling gravel. While their tines and handle lengths may vary, we've looked for one constant -- usability, so you can get out there and get the job done. When users buy our independently chosen editorial selections, we may earn commissions to help fund the Wiki.

Editor's Notes

March 21, 2019:

Because a bow rake can be useful to many types of tasks, it's important to grab one that's not only durable but also comfortable to use. We think the Bully Tools 16-Inch and the Sun Joe Ergieshovel tick these boxes nicely, giving you the ruggedness you need along with the comfort it's nice to have. The former offers standard operation, while the latter has an extra handle for better leverage. Note that this extra handle isn't adjustable, however, so it may not be perfect for those who are on the taller or shorter side. We also selected the Wolf-Garten Bow, even though it doesn't include a handle, because if you're willing to invest in the system, the overall portability and usability are tough to beat. Finally, we decided to add the G & F Products JustForKids. The included rake isn't full size, but the set isn't terribly pricey and can provide entertainment and opportunities for family togetherness.
