    Thank you for telling us the real purpose of the gravel rake. For the longest time, i couldn’t figure out what to use it on, so i would use it to chase off critters around my house. Thank you for telling me for what it is really used for. =)

    Thanks for this very helpful tutorial! Where do I get gravel to rake, though?

    YOU SAVED OUR LIVES



  13. Brittany Shaw on September 20, 2021 at 2:07 am

    Everyone’s comments are so sarcastic. All "duh!" I thought this was a "garden rake". I’ve been using it to lay chicken mulch. Ha.



  14. Staravora on September 20, 2021 at 2:07 am

    Gravel rakes are love, gravel rakes are life.



  15. Gearross on September 20, 2021 at 2:07 am

    thank you fine sir for the clarification i never knew how to use one just used it as a long back scratcher thank you again my back will now turn back to a normal back and not like a bomb shell has hit it. 



  16. Mallady on September 20, 2021 at 2:08 am

  17. Tevqoon on September 20, 2021 at 2:09 am

    Hello. I will start off by saying THANK YOU for showing off those pants!
    Next thing: Thank you for showing me and 86.4 billion (Numbers may be inccacurate) people, that gravel rakes are not used to clean keyboards; but are in fact used for cleaning leaves for gravel. Now I have to get one of those! Nice pants, btw



  18. Lokir McCloud on September 20, 2021 at 2:17 am

    I am entirely grateful for your clarification on what to use a gravel rake on.

    Things could have been disastrous if used otherwise. 



  19. Christopher Thompson on September 20, 2021 at 2:17 am

    I find this video to have helped me in my study of raking. Thank you for explaining the importance of why a gravel rake is to be used on gravel, as any other type of rake would harm the gravel. Which would be very undesirable. Thank you again, good sir.



  20. Emi M on September 20, 2021 at 2:18 am

    I DIDN’T KNOW I WAS SUPPOSED TO USE A GRAVEL RAKE ON GRAVEL!! THANKS SO MUCH FOR CLARIFYING! SUCH A GOOD VIDEO! 🙂

  21. Arthur McFarlene on September 20, 2021 at 2:21 am

    I thought these were for small rocks?



  22. Sev on September 20, 2021 at 2:21 am

    I cant believe I never realised that they are to be used on gravel! Maybe you could show us how to cut grass next time?



  23. Amanda Murray on September 20, 2021 at 2:21 am

    Thanks for clarifying that gravel rakes are meant for gravel! I was planning on taking one to mars, and I don’t know how much gravel is around there. I’ll take a shovel, instead.



  24. Kaye Rosacia on September 20, 2021 at 2:25 am

    I appreciate the effort for making this video, but I think we all know what gravel rakes are for and how to use them.
    We wouldn’t want to use them on our food, don’t we?



  25. Nevvy on September 20, 2021 at 2:26 am

    Good Sir, I am grateful for this very informative video. I used to be confused between gravel rakes and my toothbrush. I can now avoid making my gums bleed every morning.



  26. Aaron Young on September 20, 2021 at 2:28 am

    Love Florrie ❤



  33. Eeglis on September 20, 2021 at 2:35 am

    Thank you for teaching me that gravel rakes are not to be used in sandstorms. Lesson learned. Also, +1 for the neat hat.



  34. Leo G-B on September 20, 2021 at 2:35 am

    Gravel is love.  Gravel is life.  Could you update the description to include a good place to purchase a rake like yours? 



  35. Roxana Andreea on September 20, 2021 at 2:36 am

    This is the most amazing tutorial here! I can’t believe I have never used my gravel rake right



  36. Steph Nii on September 20, 2021 at 2:36 am

  42. Ralph Dreijer on September 20, 2021 at 2:40 am

    Hi sir,
    I thought that Gravel Rakes were used for searching for wifi, and got disappointed when using it.

  43. JanineMWTTW on September 20, 2021 at 2:45 am

    Dear sir,

    This video has been a true enlightenment. I was ready to give up my business in garden design, because of the impossible applience of my gravel rake. Sir, I am forever in your debt, for I now make great profit! 

    Nice jeans.



  44. Susan N on September 20, 2021 at 2:46 am
