Midi Rake

Description

The Retool Midi Tools

Our midi tool range was born out of a need to provide a package of locally made, durable yet light tools that fill a variety of functions in a food growing setting, but that also serve a purpose for regular gardeners.

The 60cm handles ensure the tools are compact, light and portable, but also give that extra reach and leverage often not afforded by small hand trowels and weeding tools.

We also intend the longer handles on the midi range to help make gardening more accessible to differently abled people, particularly for wheelchair users on raised beds.

Specs

• ~0.5kg total weight (depending on handle)

• 73cm total length

• ~30mm shaped eucalyptus saligna handle, sealed with ProNature plant-oil wood sealant

• 2mm heat-treated steel trowel head with one serrated edge

• Tang and ferrule attachment

• Double e-coat–powder coat protective layering

Applications and How to Use

Use the midi rake to spread mulch or compost evenly, prep raised beds for planting, or rake in seeds. Its compact head fits into corners and edges where larger tools can’t reach. You can even use it for light digging in soft soil or even to help with harvesting nuts and berries!

Ergonomics

The longer handle lets you do fast, efficient surface work without hunching down. Ideal for raised beds, tight paths, or small garden layouts. Whether you’re tending a veggie box or calming your nerves with a little rake therapy, it’s got your back.

Care and Maintenance

Always remove excess soil residue after use and store in a dry place. The handle can be oiled every six months or so with Pronature sealant, linseed oil, beeswax, or any other natural wood sealant.
