A rake is a tool with teeth or tines, used for gathering loose material such as leaves, grass, or hay. It is usually an agricultural or gardening implement, but can also be used in snow removal and other tasks.
There are many different types of rakes, each designed for a specific purpose. The most common type is the garden rake, which is used to collect leaves, grass clippings, and other debris from lawns. Garden rakes typically have between 10 and 20 tines made of metal or plastic.
Other types of rakes include leaf rakes (for collecting leaves), thatching rakes (for removing dead grass from lawns), and snow rakes (for removing snow from roofs). Rakes can also be classified by their construction: some have solid heads while others have hollow heads with removable teeth or tines.
