YIAD DRAGON HORSE 27655 Small Garden Rake, 5-Tine Steel Head, Telescopic Handle

A narrow 3 in head helps you work between closely spaced plants, where a wider rake can be awkward to manoeuvre. The five steel tines are suited to detail work in raised beds, flower pots and other compact garden spaces.

Adjust the telescopic handle from 27 to 39 in to set a working reach that suits the task. The extended length can help reduce repeated bending, while the compact head keeps the tool directed into tighter gaps.

At 0.64 kg, this hand rake is easy to move around a planting area. Its alloy steel handle and head, green finish and adjustable design make it a practical tool for routine garden maintenance.

Practical tips

Set the handle length before you start: use a shorter setting for close, controlled work and extend it when reaching further into a bed or beneath shrubs. Guide the five tines through open spaces between plants to gather weeds and pine needles, loosen soil, or mix fertilizer into a crowded plot. The narrow head is especially useful for container gardens and flower pots, where a broader rake may be harder to position precisely.

The handle has 12 lock positions, giving you options to adapt the reach as you move between ground-level beds and areas that are slightly farther away. Its rubber grip is described as non-slip, and the tool folds down to 27 in for storage. A built-in hanging loop offers another way to keep it accessible in a shed or closet. Customer feedback highlights the rake’s usefulness in small garden areas and the convenience of its adjustable handle. Opinions on the compact head and handle length vary: some buyers like the smaller size for close work, while others would prefer a wider head or more reach.

Pros

The main advantage is the combination of a compact working head and an adjustable pole. A five-tine, 3 in head can reach into narrow planting spaces without handling a larger rake around every pot or row. That makes it well suited to focused maintenance, such as clearing debris from a raised bed or loosening soil around established plants.

The steel construction gives the head and handle a sturdy material choice, while the 0.64 kg weight supports easy movement between tasks. Rather than choosing a short hand tool for close work or a longer tool for extra reach, this design lets you adjust the handle across its 27–39 in range. The rubber grip adds a non-slip contact point while working.

What to know

This is a small-space garden rake, not a broad tool for covering a large open lawn quickly. Its 3 in head is designed for precision around pots, closely planted rows and under shrubs. For a practical example, extend the handle to reach into the back of a raised bed, then shorten it to work more closely around a flower pot. The same five tines can be used for pulling out weeds, gathering pine needles, aerating soil and mixing fertilizer in confined garden areas.

The rake arrives pre-assembled, so it is ready for garden tasks without assembly. Its telescopic design also makes it easier to store in a compact space: collapse it to 27 in and use the hanging loop if you prefer to hang your tools. Buyers’ experiences broadly point to useful everyday garden work and appreciated adjustability, alongside differing preferences for the head size and handle reach. Those details make the tool’s intended role clear: careful, targeted maintenance where access and control matter more than covering a wide area at once.

Final verdict

The YIAD DRAGON HORSE 27655 is a useful fit for gardeners who regularly tend raised beds, flower pots or tight spaces between plants. Its narrow five-tine steel head supports precise work, and the 27–39 in adjustable handle offers flexible reach for changing tasks. Choose it for focused weeding, loosening and cleanup in compact garden areas, with convenient storage after the work is done.
