How far apart are the tines? I have a lot of small rocks that pass through my regular garden rake.

About 3/4 of inch or so, further apart than a regular rake. See the customer pictures - someone has uploaded a picture showing the width of the tines.

I have a picture posted on the product description that shows the tines against a tape measure.

I don't know how big the branches you are cutting, but they work beautiful for a inch or inch and a half.You just ratchet down on the anvil, and it does all the work for you. This is actually my second one. I love them.b. walsh

About as well as can be expected from a tiller. I have a lot of rocks varying from gravel to boulders, and the ground seems to be growing more. I also have the occasional brick and miscellaneous discarded piece of iron. As I am tilling, I keep a shovel, pick, and pry bar handy and pull out anything the tiller bounces off of. Bricks, half bricks, and rocks of about the same size can be picked up and wedged in the tines, and I have had to replace the shear pins on both sides, but I don't see any way another tiller would do any better. Tilling in stoney New England soil is going to be work regardless of which machine you use, but I like this one better than others I have tried.

No, they are pretty small and even if you strung a bunch together I don't think they would hold up against sharp rocks.

No, because you will not receive a spade. Despite what is pictured you will receive a rake that is probably 6" wide but perhaps wider. I wouldn't take the chance on this set.

They would probably dull quickly as they're designed to be used in wood. You probably should use a carbide bit for rock and shells.

Tiny pebbles and DRY leaves suck-up the best....but I wouldn't try to use this instead of a rake!!! A blower to blow those things away or into a heap to shovel or scoop up is what I do.

They are about 1/8 inch, Others say 11 gauge, (10 is about 1/8 inch) so pretty close. They will get rusty quick, but still work great, and grab well. If you till deep they won't hold in the tilled soil very well, (I till about 12+ inches) but the row cover I am holding down with these are outside of the deeply tilled area, so they work great. When you go to pull them out, it takes a little effort, so they work. All the wind we get these hold fine, it's the row cover that is taking the beating. I double or triple the cover and push these through to keep it from ripping too bad. I need to order more, instead of using rocks and bricks. They just move and the cover comes loose.

The rake comes with two (sort of) plastic wheels which keep the blade about one 1/2" from the surface to be raked, in my case: "the roof shingles"; this space prevents the metal from scraping the tar and gravel off. In your case I would say: you'd have to be careful to keep the blade on the right angle to conform the panels' surfaces and keep them from getting scratched. If I were in your place: I would cover the blade's edge with the best sticky electrical tape you can find (two or three times) and check it for cutouts every time you bring the rake towards you while cleaning your panels! What ever you do, do it slowly and DON'T FALL OFF THE LADDER!

There are three holes on each tine,possibly for another style of tiller. The holes are 3/8 inches in Dia. The Distance from the first hole to the second hole is 2 1/2 inches (6.5 cm) the distance from the first hole to the third hole is 3 3/16 inches (8cm) Hope this helps.

The tines are 3/4 inch apart. My dishes are approx 1 1/8 deep and there is plenty of room for them.

Each sprayer covers about a 4 foot circle. My wife has them spaced about 3 feet apart. She even has a couple of them strung together and dug under the lawn between two of the gardens.

They are about 7.5 inches. Used in flower pot with vining plant so could not remove. Was able to locate bottom with rod inserted next to stake.

Small rocks yes but anything over an inch in diameter would be too much. These tools are for small jobs and do them well. Rocks are another issue entirely. Get a rock tumbler or 6" polishing wheel.

Hi Donna -- the rake is 24 inches wide, so it won't be able to fit into the 16 inch sections on your roof. One option is to leave a bit of snow within the sections and rake off as much as the standing seams permit.

This product was designed to pick up medium size nuts (pecans, hazel nuts, almonds, etc.) when you get to walnut sizes I do not think it will be as efficient. Also rocks are not symmetrical & are rough so that may wear the tines after a while. In tilling my garden I do not bother with small stones (golf ball or smaller) unless there are alot. Bigger than a small potato may jam the tiller if caught in it. Hope this helps...

These spikes are 1/4" in diameter. I also got the stake "puller" which was a neat helper.
