The rake lasted approximately a week until I got to ground that had some narrow roots from a tree nearby. the tines caught on the roots and ultimately bent , further into the 2nd week more bent tines and less efficient product. I think that a millimeter or two more of the aluminum or possibly a durable metal core i.e. tungsten, titanium, steel to reinforce the tines would be an effective way strengthen them.
