Does this rake get close to the baseboards? Wondering if the edge around the 'teeth' keeps the rake from getting wall to wall/super close?

I used mine for an area rug so don't really know. I would definitely order another for my vacation home if they still carried this item.

The teeth do not get all the way to the wall/baseboard and the rake head is at a fixed angle but it does a great job.

I have never had the rake get stuck. I would think turn it off and back on again. If not, check with manufacturer. Sorry I can't be more help.

The rake is fairly rugged and rakes similar-sized stones in our driveway. The rake is mounted on a Koplin 3 point hydraulic so downward pressure is applied thereby preventing any bounce. Without downward pressure unsure if the rake would be heavy enough.

Yes, it is amazing on the edges, it's got a little brush that comes out of the side and sucks in the dirt from the edges of your carpet and your baseboard, looks like your carpet has been shampooed after you're done vacuuming. Clearly the best vacuum I've ever used. So powerful!

Pull down the red tab, then push down, some time the bottom of the rake catches on the bottom brace.Good luck.

well you would get it done faster with this rake. I use it on a 150+ Saint Bernard and LOVE IT. Best rake I have ever owned. I think they make a smaller one but these aren't huge to begin with.edit - I checked this is the only size they make. it is great and easy to clean - I would get it.

I use the edger to make a vertical cut straight down, all along the edge of the bed, and then follow up by using a pointed shovel to dig a roughly 45-degree cut on the inside of the edge of the bed (about 4-6" away) to where the vertical cut is. Then I dig out the sod or dirt from the trench I've created and haul it away. Mulch the bed and fill the trench with mulch too, and you have a clean edge on a nicely-mulched bed. This blog post (not mine) has a good explanation: http://www.funkyjunkinteriors.net/2012/07/how-to-edge-flower-beds-like-pro.html (I use wood chip mulch to keep down weeds instead of leaving the edge uncovered (nature abhors a vacuum and will soon cover the dirt with weeds). Hope this helps -- the Radius edger works pretty well for me too, in case you were wondering.

It's a little tight but this shear will cut up to about an 8 1/2 / 12 if your board is 7 1/4" wide, if you can afford it, I would get the wider version for the rakes and this smaller version for the straight cuts. If you only need an 8/12, this will work fine. you can always use a diamond blade for the rakes.Tom

No, it doesn't go up the walls, stairs or ledges. I thought it would be an issue but I sweep the walls frequently anyway so hasn't been an issue. It does a Great job on the bottom.

According to the gentleman who uses this edger in my yard.....no, there is no guide to keep the edger in line with the sidewalk or curb.

I think that would work - just use the "smooth" side of the rake (turn it upside down)

Mine works okay on a perfectly flat floor but the saw really needs to be secured to the base well and I haven't spent the time to do that yet. I tried it with "S" hooks and turn buckles but the ones I used were not strong enough and bent so I move the saw very gingerly now!

I haven't personally stretched it to its limits but when installing I did get pretty decent angles before I settled it close to the wall. I don't have brick walls so I keep as little stress on the wall as possible. Hope this helps.

Actually it does... It is a bit different design - allows you to do 3/4" and 1/2" thick planks. BTW, the unit I got works perfect! I just installed 140+ SF of oak T&G flooring with no hiccups and no nail hanging. There is couple of things you need to remember; this is not a really heavy duty commercial unit, droplet of light oil every time you put a new nail strip and most important - hit the striker pretty resolute EVERY TIME! Thanks, Mario

it would do a fine job of cutting the baseboard to fit it or refit it but if you're trying to cut the baseboard without removing it, this is not the tool. You probably need one of those oscillating do-it-all tools.

If turning it off and on doesn't help, try unplugging it and plugging it back in. Also, check the little bar that runs across the top of the rake, make sure it isn't stuck, it needs to be able to move. I've had them stick many different places, and always got them moving again, may have to apply a LITTLE pressure, just a little push, but usually it will move.

ours doesn't touch the floor - b/c we have a baseboard, to keep the gate square it's mounted a few inches above the floor. it works great!
