Forty-two inches is the widest plate here and it halves the number of passes on an open lawn, which matters when topdressing a whole garden in an afternoon. The silver version runs a 67 in handle. At 13.5 lbs it is also the heaviest, and that weight does the levelling work rather than the arms. Metal construction with PVC grips resists the rust that untreated steel picks up when a rake is left leaning against a shed. It suits a large lawn, a sports pitch or a new build being seeded.
