ABSTRACT:
There is provided an ergonomic rake which includes an elongated handle having first and second ends. A head is attached to the handle at its first end. The second end of the handle is a free end. A bend is provided in the handle so that the user of the rake may remain in a substantially upright position while raking to reduce the likelihood of a back injury. A support stand is rotatably attached to one side of the head. By using the support stand, the rake may be stood up while not in use so that the user does not need to bend over to pick up the rake, which also reduces the likelihood of a back injury.
