I paid £125.00 for my rake :) All ally sections, goes out 50 feet (or more if you have more sections)

 

No throwing, just push it out , let it sink, and pull back. Next time push it out 2 feet to left or right and repeat. I can clean a strip about 8 feet wide by whatever length I need, in a few minutes. And I can tell you what the botom is like :)

 

I have used a throwing rake in the past, but I found it very ineficient and innacurate. If it gets stuck, then push back, turn over and it comes free.

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

 

Mathew 4:19

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

And that is the problem/downfall of any "rake" that has to be thrown.

 

I will have a word with the guy who made mine, and see if he will let me put a video on Utube :unsure: They do seem a bit expensive to start with, but should last for years and years. Last summer I cleared a 6/8 foot wide strip each side of about 15 swims...none took longer than 10 mins or so, and they were CLEAR.

Go on Den...some pics :D

 

A bit sensitive Jim, I don't want to give away someone elses idea. He/we put in a lot of effort and testing before I was happy with it. Costly, but the materials are not cheap, and it is probably ideal for a small group or club to buy. I have no financial interest, if I did have, you would have seen the pics some time ago :)

 

I love mine, I now know just where the gravel patches are in several swims :)

Ha! The village in their postal address is just up the road from us, if I decide to have one of those I'll pop in and save myself the postage!

Well just goes to show there is nothing new :) :)

 

Almost exactly the same, including the vane on the front end to keep it up whilst "surfing" in fact, the more I read about it, the more I see similarities :) Looking at the video on Ebay, you can hear the rake scraping on the gravel bottom :)

 

Certainly puts paid to the idea of patenting it....already been applied for!

 

Price is similar though.
