Clyde Jr Rake by Backslope Tools

Built for the long day out

Clyde Jr shows up light in the hand and heavy on outcome—a compact McLeod that rakes, shapes, and moves on without complaint.

Work that holds

Trail mornings, garden evenings

Two tools, one head

Dragging a heavy kit up the hill or across a yard steals energy before the work begins. Clyde Jr folds rake and hoe into one compact form, keeping momentum steady and the load simple. A steel head takes the beating, and when the handle finally calls it, a clevis pin or bolt swap has you back at it in minutes.

Quiet authority

Good paths and clean beds don’t appear; they’re made by steady hands and tools that last. Clyde Jr was assembled in Colorado and recognized with the 2025 Singletracks Editor’s Choice Award—proof from the field. Built for trail crews and serious gardeners, it’s for anyone done buying the same thing twice.

For the ones who shape ground

Trail stewards, bike builders, and gardeners who want a compact McLeod that carries easy and works hard.

In the dirt

Carry Clyde Jr to cut, pull, and rake soil or duff on trails and garden beds without swapping tools.
