Hand Rake - 'GATO'
The GATO hand rake is made from the off-cut steel plates used to manufacture Japanese garden hoes. This approach to minimise waste is combined with a clean and modern design to create a tool that is ideal for vegetable and container gardens.
A larger four pronged side is combined with six smaller prongs for finer raking. The hand rake has a wooden handle. It can be easily cleaned with water and a brush.
The name GATO comes from the Spanish word for cat, as the design was inspired by cat paws.
