 A simple but effective tool.Aug 10, 2010
Like any other tool, a lot depends on the user. I've long held the believe leaving your shaving on the lawn is good for the grass, it's the green thing to do because the nutrients are recycled. I don't believe that's entirely true. You need specific conditions to turn lawn shavings into compost. Those conditions are not met by just leaving the shavings on your lawn. What happened in my case over a period of time is the shavings forming a durable blanket that just refuses to return to earth over the base of my grass. You can see water rolling off the thatch not going to the roots. Consequently it take more water and feed to get to the roots.
This is one tool that works as intended. You have to be careful not to rip and tear your grass. I think creeping grasses like bermuda are especially vulnerable to being damaged. The rake is more likely to get caught. The best way I find is to use shorter strokes. It takes some elbow grease but it works. I aerated the lawn after dethatching then spread some turf feed and watered regularly. The result was a growth explosion.
 Works well!Jul 30, 2010
Got it from my local store and it works very well. I am happy with this product.
Excellent Rake!Jun 24, 2010
This rake is excellent to get rid of your dead grass. I have used it on my yard several times, and it has pulled out everything brown. You have to be extremely careful though, since it can also pull out the green grass. I will recommend you rent a power rake if your yard is too big though. This rake can be really hard on your hands and back, if used for long time. Overall, it is a very good rake that I would recommend you, if you are looking for a good tool to get rid of the dead grass in your yard!

Excellent rake, but a lot of workJun 08, 2010
The Ames Thatching rake is a quality piece and works quite well. Dethatching pulls up a TON of junk that was not seen near the surface. First time I used it, I laughed at the amount of thatch it pulled up in just a small section. Adjusting the angle is easy, quality seems good, really no complaints.
Amazon has a good price, as I bought mine from Home Depot for $29.97 + tax.
