A rake, with which, when the head stays in the same position, it is possible to rake both with pulling and pushing motions, wherein the stiff or somewhat stiff tines are flexibly jointed, pivoted or fastened with a spring onto the rake head or to the tine stubs that are part of the head, and its flexible part's flexibility must be such that the pressure on the tines from raking bends the tines at their flexible point, preferably at a minimum of 45 degree angle to both sides, i.e., forwards and backwards, from the tines' resting position, and the tines are equipped with the tine ends intended for both pulling and pushing, and, in the resting position, those tine ends form over 90-degree angles to the ground that open to own work movement's direction, i.e., forwards and backwards, when the rake handle is in the working position, this is, at a 45-60 degree angle to the ground.
