About Marc Lyman

Marc grew up under a brave single mom who "encouraged" home improvement on the family home. Early toddler gifts included a tool set, and even a cordless Bosch drill when cordless drills first came out. In grade school (give or take a few years), Marc's mom said, "We need to cut down some trees. . . . here's a chainsaw." A father figure also involved Marc in many home improvement projects, including a summer of home remodeling in Palo Alto, CA. Toss in some Obsessive Compulsive personality traits researching everything home improvement related. The end result: a genetically pre-disposed, socially sculpted home improvement machine! For his complete profile, please visit our About page. Really, it's worth it.

They are definitely preferred over picking up individual leaves or granules of dirt by hand. We were sent two Fiskars rakes to evaluate, and the results of our show no mercy, multi-year field testing might surprise you. Whether you’re looking at garden rakes for your Zen garden, or raking through a seemingly endless supply of dirt and rock, check out our review of these two Fiskars rakes: the Fiskars Pro Rake, and the Fiskars Ergo Aluminum Garden Rake.
