Fall leaves are going to be on the ground in no time. For those who like to wake the leaves up (so kids can jump in them and stuff) what rake do you think is better? A plastic one or a metal one?

Plastic is generally lighter & metal usually lasts longer...
My preference would be the one with the longest handle... I'm 6' 5" and almost all tools seem to have a short handle... KennyV

I always use the plastic for the leaves. The metal just seems like overkill somehow. That, and I find that more leaves get stuck in the metal.
