Circular Heads Rake Twice as Fast with Half the Effort!
Few Radius tools have been less understood by the public and more loved by their users than our G-Series rakes. They look weird, have goofy mascots (a woodchuck and a green shark), and in addition to being the greatest garden rakes I’ve ever used they do a lot of things that normal rakes won’t do.
When you look at the Ground Hog the first thing you notice is the curved head with straight tines. You might also notice that the shaft is longer than most rakes and is pitched at an angle that doesn’t force you to bend over when using the rake. People also get confused when they hear the word “ergonomic.” It is derived from the Latin for “work naturally.” So when we design an ergonomic rake we don’t add some crazy bend to the shaft; instead we allow you to work naturally by standing up straight in a way that won’t hurt your back.
With the Ground Hog in hand the next thing you will notice is that the curved head will grab and gather much more material than it seems like it should based on its size. It’s not unlike the way you reach out with your own hands placing your fingers in a curved semi-circle to grab and gather. The next thing you might notice about the Ground Hog is that it isn’t limited much in what it will grab and gather. Wet leaves, mulch, branches, trash; just about anything with which conventional rakes have a lot of trouble. It’s a natural shrub rake that won’t break or get caught in stems like most conventional shrub rakes. The circular head design allows you to rake around a corner, so you can get behind existing landscape easily. Another unique benefit of the circular head rake design is that while it rakes away almost anything, it requires only a very light touch that will not damage the landscape underneath it.
What I love the most about the Ground Hog is that the head is angled so that when you flip it over you can use it like a pitch fork. This makes garden and lawn cleanup a breeze. As a prairie plant gardener one of my annual spring tasks is to clean up the thousands of tall wildflower stems left over from the previous growing season. I use only one tool for this task: the Ground Hog. The first step in the process is to snap the stems at their bases by sweeping the Ground Hog back and forth in a pendulum-like motion. Next, I rake the stems into piles. Most of these stems are 2 to 4 feet long, so conventional rakes are useless for this. Finally, I pitch the piles, using the Ground Hog like a fork, for composting.
Once you try the Ground Hog and Garden Shark rakes I am convinced you will never use a conventional rake again.
The ergonomically designed, Ground Hog Rake is so versatile that it’s almost impossible to describe all of its uses but you can Learn More About this Product Here
