Rake Straw rake..?

Are they any good for gathering oak leaves and small sticks?

Leaf blower (nothing worse than trying to blow leaves during the windy spring months) and rake just don't cut it for this old man anymore.

Sorry I missed this post earlier. Check out this rake I built specifically for oak leaves and pine needles. It does an excellent job without tearing up the land although if you use it on a lawn it will leave tine marks.
