FiskarsXact Hand rake, Length: 44.3 cm, Width: 12.5 cm, Black/Orange, Stainless Steel/Plastic, 1027044

Team effort from the communityBut this tool was magnificent I couldn’t have done it so quickly without it. Never used one before and it was brilliant.

Great product for patios covered in weeds and moss, as advertised. I purchased a weeding brush from a well known garden centre and had to take it back as it was not fit for purpose. This however, is great and does the job well!

This is not a pleasant tool to use - scraping metal against concrete never is going to be fun. That said, this simple device makes clearing the crud between paving slabs and stones super easy and quick. One side can be used to run along the gaps and remove light weeds, grass and mud, making things look much neater. The other side is for really digging in to uproot deeper weeds. Very handy for a couple of specific jobs.

Somehow this is a very good tool. IKEA-like use instructions that are barely readable orange and white on black and small. But just show its blade to any size of weed, and out comes the whole root with the stem. Good grip on handle and it feels like the knife stem runs almost the length of the handle, so it’s not lightweight, but is good for leverage.

I used to use cheap thin “weedy” weeding knives. My last one broke (again) so I bought this. Initially, I thought, “bit big… what’s this bit on the back….?”Anyway, gave it a bash and it was excellent. Strong, sturdy and sure. This thing went in between the slabs and whatever was in the way, came up…. Oh, and the bit on the back was a kind of lever to aid tough weeds.I will not be buying a cheap one again and I would recommend to anyone.

Used it to break the surface of a poor lawn ready to sow a wildflower meadow mixture. Saw a similar tool used for the same purpose on Gardner’s World. It did exactly as required without too much effort and dragged out an unbelievable amount of moss. Works well in borders too to loosen weeds.

The best one on the market!Very satisfied with this product.Light yet very strong.top product

Ideal for the heavy-handed user. Replaced a similar, though cheaper, Draper tool which eventually snapped after many years of faithful service. The Fiskars Xact is significantly stronger and larger/longer which may not suit everyone but it allows plenty of leverage. Early days as yet and time will tell if it can take the strain.
