The 9 Best Pool Rakes

Thanks to its wide 18-inch mouth, the Sun Cling Deep Bag is well-positioned for collecting large amounts of material faster than other models of its class. With the exception of silt and sand, its medium-mesh net grabs most unwanted items on the first pass.

Constructed from crack-resistant plastic, the SharkBlu EZ Clip can be used either with or without a pole extension and is capable of scooping out leaves, bugs, and other objects at close range from swimming pools, hot tubs, fountains, and even fish tanks.

Sporting a contoured front edge that makes scooping easier, plus a high-capacity net that you won't have to empty as often as others, the SplashTech Heavy-Duty can help you remove debris quicker, so you can enjoy your newly clean water.

With its Easy Glide rim, the CJ Lifestyle Leaf Scoop moves through the water with less resistance than other models, meaning you have to exert less effort to use it. Plus, the double-stitched mesh bag is tapered for added maneuverability.

Designed for heavy-duty professional use, the Purity Pool SuperRake offers a handle that is mounted perpendicular to its frame, creating a smoothly-operating tool for collecting the largest piles of debris from the bottom of almost any size of swimming pool.

With its sturdy frame and deep net, the Stargoods Skimmer picks up leaves, twigs, insects, and anything else that's floating around. Its universal holder will fit any standard-sized telescoping pole, and its large capacity means you won't have to empty it often.

If you have problems with pollen, sand, or silt, look no further than the TK Pool Net. Its super-fine mesh is designed to filter out even the smallest of particles, and it has a unique pivoting lip that makes it easier to scoop up debris.

The FibroPro Professional has a free-floating secondary layer of mesh material sewn into its sides for both additional protection and reduced drag when you need to perform extensive cleanups. Its tapered resin coating fully protects it from corrosion.

Made from a super strong aluminum alloy for increased frame durability, the ProTuff Leaf Catcher is equipped with a double-stitched nylon net and an overall weight capacity of 50 pounds, ensuring that it will never bend, break, or twist when skimming heavy loads.
