3-Prong Garden Rake

This small hand rake was exactly what my dad needed for his compact strawberry garden. His old one had been too large for the space he'd carefully planted. I was impressed by tlalexander's design, so I used it as a starting point to create this version. Not having access to Solidworks wasn't an issue, as I designed it using Autodesk Inventor instead. The T-handle features a convenient hole that allows you to hang it from a pegboard on a nail, making it easy to store when not in use. My dad had specifically requested the T-handle to make handling easier, and the result has been a big success. To further enhance its functionality, I lengthened the center prong slightly to help create a deeper trench. This small but thoughtful touch has made all the difference for his garden. My 9-year-old son was initially drawn to this rake, thinking it would be perfect for scratching his back. While that's not entirely out of the question, its reach might be limited. I've added that request to my list, though! As intended, this hand rake has worked beautifully in our small garden area. The Autodesk Inventor source file is also included for your reference.
