ProTuff Pool Net Leaf Skimmer Rake

Best leaf rake

PoolGearGuide pick · Updated 2026-07-03

A deep-bag leaf rake that scoops sunk debris in one pass instead of chasing it around.

Quick verdict

The leaf rake to buy if your pool sits under trees. Deep bag, sturdy frame, far less re-skimming.

Ideal for

  • Pools under trees
  • Owners tired of flimsy nets

Not ideal for

  • Tiny debris/silt (use a fine net)
  • People who want the cheapest option

The full picture

ProTuff's deep-bag rake is the upgrade over a flat skimmer: the reinforced deep net drags across the floor and holds a full load of leaves without spilling, and the aircraft-grade frame resists the bending that kills cheap rakes. It's the tool that turns a 20-minute leaf fight into a couple of passes.
