Abstract
A rake having first and second raking fans attached to a handle is provided. The first fan defines a first tangent plane, and the second fan defines a second tangent plane which is preferably deflected out of the first plane by an angle of about 45.degree.. In a preferred embodiment, the raking edge of the first fan is longer than the raking edge of the second fan so as to provide a large effective raking edge. Such a rake eliminates the disadvantage of the raking edge, or the leaves, passing over the user's feet during raking.
