What is a "rake"?
A rake is a gardening tool with a long handle and a set of curved or straight teeth at the end, used for gathering leaves, grass, or other debris from the ground. It is also useful for leveling soil, spreading mulch, or breaking up clumps of material. Rakes come in different designs, including those for lawns, gardens, and yard work, with some being lightweight and others designed for heavy-duty tasks. The tool helps keep outdoor areas clean and tidy by easily collecting and moving materials.
