    I modified one, by adding a wooden handle. It is now 35" long. I cut the end of the metal handle off, drilled 2 holes in the end of the wood. Then epoxied the metal handle ends into the holes.

    If you are not already passed it, the Walmart at the I-75 exit 122 (Norris Clinton exit) had 4 or 5 left Friday.

    Nice, you will ove that extra lenght! I bought a similar looking rake from Woodstock and the only problem with it is it was too short to reach all the way across the PH box from the side door. So I brought it to a welding shop and had them add a foot to the handle and I'm much happier with it now. Can't say I only spent $6 though~!!

    Yes. I am very happy with the extra length. It only cost me a little time as I used a limb, of which I only have about 12,486,769 +/-.
