Rake

The shape-shifter your garden deserves.

There are parts of the garden that regular rakes simply don’t understand. The narrow gap behind the hydrangeas, the awkward corners of the raised beds, the places where a standard-sized tool just clatters uselessly against the fence. Enter the Niwaki Rake: a masterclass in Japanese utility for the gardener who refuses to leave a single leaf behind.

The party trick here is the width-adjustable head. Using a simple mechanism, you can slim the heat-treated carbon steel tines down to a svelte 24cm for precision work in tight spots, or widen it back out when you’ve got serious ground to cover. It’s one tool that does the work of two, which is exactly the kind of efficiency we live for.

Crafted in Japan with a sturdy FSC ash handle, it’s lightweight enough (891g, to be precise) for a long session but built with the kind of soul that makes you want to hang it in the centre of the tool shed. It’s not just a rake; it’s a commitment to a tidier existence.
