Description

Not every leveling job is a whole lawn. The walensee 17 inch leveling rake pairs its big brother’s welded, powder-coated iron construction with a compact 17 by 10 inch head on a 6.5 ft handle, around the 40 dollar mark. It is the tool for the sunken sprinkler head surround, the frost-heaved strip along the drive, the dog-dug hollow: places a 30 inch head simply cannot work. The small plate threads between beds, trees and path edges, and it is light and easy to store.

Key Features

Compact 17 in head

The narrow plate works in the spaces full-size heads cannot reach: around sprinkler heads, along edging, between stepping stones and inside beds.

Same welded build as the 30 in

The head is fully welded powder-coated iron, like its bigger sibling, so the budget failure mode of a loosening head does not apply.

6.5 ft handle

A full-length handle for a small tool: you work upright, with reach, even in fiddly corners, instead of kneeling with a hand tool.

Made for repairs

Filling individual dips, dog spots and mower ruts takes minutes with the right-sized head, and the finish looks surgical next to a big plate’s work.

Product Description

The Walensee 17 inch is a compact leveling rake for spot repairs, small lawns and detail work. It earns its place as a second tool rather than a main one.

The limits are obvious and honest: it is very slow coverage on a whole lawn, its small footprint bridges nothing across a wide shallow dip (it follows the contour instead of flattening it), and it shares the family caveat that coating chips can rust if the tool is stored wet.

Benefits of Using This Product

  • Works in spaces no full-size head can reach
  • Same welded build as the 30 in Walensee
  • Ideal for filling hollows after repairs
  • Light, easy to store, quick to grab
  • Around the 40 dollar mark

How to Use

For a dip or hollow, spread a small heap of soil mix or sand over the spot, then work the little plate back and forth to feather the material out to level, keeping the edges thin so the grass grows through. For a sunken sprinkler surround, fill in two thin layers rather than one heap.

Walensee 17 Inch Leveling Rake: Care and Storage

Care for a walensee 17 inch leveling rake exactly like its big brother: rinse, dry fully, store indoors, and touch up any coating chip that reaches bare iron. Its small size makes it the easiest tool here to hang on a hook by the door, which is where a spot-repair tool belongs. Owners who keep a walensee 17 inch leveling rake handy find they fix dips the week they appear, instead of adding them to a list that never gets done.

Why Choose the Walensee 17 Inch Leveling Rake?

Choose the walensee 17 inch leveling rake alongside a full-size rake, not instead of one: it is the detail tool that finishes the jobs the big plate cannot reach, at a price that makes owning both painless.
