  • Clearing drains full of leaves and twigs after a storm. Also came across water draining where no drain should be and creating an unexpected waterfall. Please note new rake!!

    i was so relieved to see he has a proper rake this time instead of that bulky awkward shovel...made this much more enjoyable to watch.

    Gotta get you a tripod or some type of stand so you can pop the camera down to use both hands. Save your own effort and probably frustration. It's also painful for us at home to watch one handed rake struggles! Haha. Love the video!! I wonder how many more of us are walking around with rakes in our cars now.

      @@njy69 Just a tip for ya (I just found this channel), every tool is more than one tool. Don’t forget the usefulness of just having a long stick. At 2:47, I’d have turned the rake around, and poked the handle through the hole, clearing it out.
