Are these any good? Auction #1619780175
Or can anyone recommend a decent one please? My last one was bamboo and broke quickly. Mainly want it for lawn clippings and leaves.

Get one with a fibre handle - Bunnings $19.95. Wood handles these days are crud as the grains are mostly diagonal so break.

Thanks for the tips. Will look at Mitre10 as no Bunnings nearby.

I buy 5 dollar ones from mitre ten by the dozen. They last better than some of the "better" ones I have brought and are not to brittle. I no longer make the joke that im a serial rakest when I struggle to carry that many to the checkout. Keep em out of the sun and they will last longer.
Its 5 bucks, few tools are such a force multiplier for so little!

Yes! ATLAS from M10 is the best I've ever had.

The orange Mitre 10 ones are pretty sturdy
