Each testing metric was worth five points and a rake’s final score was an average of the three metric scores. Now before you get the idea of free crab legs boiled with a little melted butter to dip them in, you need to realize just how small a sand flea can be.

While customers said the product was heavy, they liked that most of the weight was in the head. They said that this allowed the head to break through compact soil without requiring too much force. However, some customers expressed a desire for the handle to be longer. Our Experience Five common types of rakes exist: lawn/leaf rakes, shrub rakes, bow rakes, thatch rakes, and hand rakes. Lawn/Leaf Many enthusiasts who collected sea glass swear by this rake since its lightweight design and easy administration doesn’t shatter or chip sea glass as larger rakes can do. Our team researched some of the most important factors to consider before buying a garden rake to help you choose one that’s right for you. TypeToss the bait off a shelf close to the shoreline where sand fleas will naturally appear and you’ll get some great angling action. Conclusion The handle on this rake has grooves for better gripping and a rim to prevent your hands from slipping down the pole. We were also able to extend and shorten the pole’s length depending on our height and how far we wanted to reach. Our Score Weighing just four pounds, with a handle attached on the end, and constructed of heavy gauge aluminum. This sifter is more than a sand flea rake. It is designed for children or small adults to use easily and while it catches sand fleas effectively, it will also shift out shark’s teeth, small shells, and other treasures that children love to hunt for in a day at the beach. The basket is just seven inches wide, with a 42-inch handle. The basket is made of ¼” mesh without teeth, so timing the tide is important with this rake.

The rake was also easy to use. We liked that the rubber gripping went several inches down the handle because that allowed it to accommodate larger hands. However, our arms felt slightly tired after using the rake because of its heavy metal head. Our Score Our final rake in this review is designed for snatching shark’s teeth from the sand, but there’s a lot more hidden under the beach sand than just shark’s teeth. This seven-inch rake is constructed of aluminum with stainless steel nuts and bolts. Because this rake’s head is adjustable, customers were able to use it for both small and large raking tasks, saving them money and storage space. However, several customers said that the rake was flimsy and that both the pole and tines bent under a slight amount of pressure. Our Experience

An ergonomically curved handle, a familiar design used in snow shovels, distributes weight evenly and prevents strained muscles if you’re out on the sand for a longer period. Rakes can weigh less than one pound or more than four. Their weight depends on their size and the materials used in their construction. Lighter rakes are good for tasks like raking dry leaves, while heavier rakes are good for heavy-duty tasks like moving dirt or leveling sand.
