We use spring leaf rakes every day for raking after every item we prune, along with old leaves under.
I get about 6 months to 1 year on the rakes.
Wood handled ones last from 1 week to 1 month. They usually break along the grain.
Aluminum tube handles seem as bad or worse.
Now I stick to the fiberglass handle ones that cost about $15, and always carry 2. I carry 2 of everything. 2 hand pruners, 2 springs for them, 2 shears, 2 chainsaws, etc..
Costco, and Lowe's is where I buy my rakes.
Plastic raking heads drag too much dirt and volume of mulch.
Spring rakes catch the bad stuff and leave the good behind. Spring rakes are tremendous for raking on fine gravel paths.
