    A:  No. This is a plastic grass rake intended for grass and leaves. You would need to buy a stronger stone rake.

    A:  I don't think this is the right rake for moving concrete pieces around. It's lightweight, thin, plastic. I'd use a metal rake for moving concrete pieces.

    by|Oct 15, 2019

      A:  Its a pretty sturdy beast so I don't see it not working. It is made of plastic so it will give after a certain point in time and use if its used strictly for that in a heavy usage way. I've had mine for a few years now and use it for leaves and its flawless. Give it a shot, go slow and don't put so much weight on the rake tips when sweeping large amounts. Good Luck...

            A:  That's a standard procedure, not sure what else you were expecting. That's why the Ames company offers the 15 year warranty.

                A:  I have used the leaf rake for a few weeks and I have had no breakage occur. I am sorry that you have to deal with the manufacturer. I have had no issues with returns, but the returns were within a few days or weeks.

                Don't stand behind their product.
                I bought this rake about 5 or 6 years ago and it just now cracked and some of the tines broke off. I contacted their warranty department told them what happened. Also explained that I did not have my receipt because it had been so long ago. They said they would email a link to me and asked me to fill out the information along with pics. They also said they would see what they could do to help me. They replied. Your request has been reviewed and we are unable to approve without proof of purchase.

                  Broke on second use. Lifetime warranty joke
                  the rake did what it says it does until it didn't. After 2 uses the plastic cracked at the handle. Ames "lifetime" warranty stated "lifetime" ends when product stops working, what a joke. Ames use to mean quality USA made tools, now it is junk. Pick up a Craftsman rake, they have a 15 warranty and I have never had them not stand by their product.

                    My daughter broke it.
                    I purchased the rake today. My 13 year-old daughter was using it to help rake leaves. I hope that she grows up to be a strong woman one day...but she shouldn’t be able to snap a new rake after 10 minutes of use. C’mon Ames. Be better.

                      This rake seems to be strong enough that I won't break it too easily, but the last metal-handle rake I had failed due to rust out. It rakes well and is mostly satisfying but it has a tendency to collect leaves between the tines and drop them on the next stroke in the area you just cleaned. It gets a little annoying but it's not too bad. It's nice and wide so the work goes quickly. The tines are stiff enough that it doesn't feel flimsy or weak. Seems like I only buy new rakes when I snap the handle on the old one, so maybe I'll pour some rustoleum into the handle and let it dry and protect it from moisture.

                      This 26” wide rake clears a much larger path then the narrower rakes. It’s durable and the overall 73” reach from the leading edge of the rake to the top of the handle is great because it lets you stand up straighter while raking which helps to eliminate back strain.

                      Two teeth broke off the very first use!!! Not sureally what this rake is intended for, but apparently leaves are too much for it. Note to self: Never buy a plastic rake.

                      It’s not as practical or efficient as I had hoped. I think the design could be straighter across (bottom) rather than curved. (The edges on either side go up) This would help pull more leaves easier. It is conveniently light in weight however.
