The Oliynedy Adjustable Metal Rake is a collapsible, expandable-head rake designed for yard cleanup, garden bed maintenance, and situations where storage space or portability matters.
The head adjusts from 8 to 17 inches wide and the handle telescopes from 30 to 58 inches, covering a range of tasks and user heights. It assembles without tools in about a minute. This rake is built for general raking work rather than heavy debris or thick thatch, where a fixed-head rake with more rigidity would likely perform better.

When an Adjustable Rake Fits the Job Better Than a Fixed One
If your yard work moves between open lawn areas and tighter spots like flower beds, hedge rows, or shrub borders, switching between two fixed rakes is a real inconvenience. The Oliynedy addresses that by letting you narrow the head down to 8 inches for confined spaces and open it back out to 17 inches when you are clearing a wider run of grass or ground cover.
The telescoping handle means you can hand this rake to someone shorter without them working bent over, or extend it fully for your own reach. If you are also looking for a rake you can pack for a camping trip or store in a small shed or apartment without dedicating a full wall rack to it, the collapsible design makes that practical.
What to Expect from the Oliynedy Adjustable Metal Rake in Real Use
The expandable head works as described, sliding between narrow and wide positions without tools. Verified buyers found it genuinely useful for getting into tight spots between hedges and around flower beds without switching to a second tool. At full 17-inch width it handles open lawn raking efficiently, and the metal construction holds up to repeated use without feeling flimsy at normal raking effort.
One limitation worth knowing: when the head is collapsed to its narrowest setting, the outer tines tend to curl slightly rather than lying flat, which means only the edges make contact rather than the full row of tines. For users who specifically need the narrow setting to do close, precise work, this is a real functional limitation rather than a cosmetic one.
At full width the rake performs consistently. The handle feels solid and the length range accommodates a wide span of user heights. The tines are metal and can be bent back into alignment if they get knocked out of position.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the rake head lock securely in both the narrow and wide positions?
The head adjusts by sliding and locking into position. It holds at both ends of the range during normal raking use. The narrow setting does have a known tine behavior where the outer edges curl slightly rather than lying fully flat, which affects how evenly the tines contact the ground at that width. The wide setting does not have this issue and the head stays stable during use.
How does the telescoping handle connect and stay in place?
The handle sections screw together rather than using a button or collar lock. This means the length is not infinitely adjustable along a continuous range but rather set by how far you thread the sections together. For most users this is not an issue, but if you need precise handle length increments it is worth knowing the connection method before purchasing.
Is this rake suitable for heavy-duty work like moving thick layers of wet leaves or thatch?
The Oliynedy is a general-purpose yard rake suited to dry to moderately damp leaf cleanup, light debris, and garden bed work. The metal construction handles standard raking loads without bending under normal use. For very heavy, wet, compacted material or aggressive thatch removal, a heavier fixed-head rake with thicker tines will give you more leverage and durability under sustained force.
