I've had the RYOBI Dethatcher for a few years now, and it has proven to be a workhorse. My yard always looks amazing, once I have removed all the thatch, moss and dead grass that accumulates over the winter.

The one thing I never liked was the collection bag. My lawn generates a lot of debris, and the collection bag filled up QUICK. So I took it off and let the debris fall to the lawn for later collection.

If I just let the rear flap close because the collection bag isn;t attached, the debris piles up inside the machine, slows the raking cylinder down, and then drops a big clumps after a dozen feet or so, like its making hay bails on a farm. If I pull the flap up with a bungee cord, the debris flies out the back and covers me in dust and clippings. I needs a regular solution!

SO I jumped into SketchUp and modeled up two wedges that would clip into the machine on the collection bag detents. They hold the flap open just enough to let the debris come out the back without piling up, but not so much that it flies out in my face. The perfect solution!

Check out how it works, and its always great to see the dethatcher in action.

If you are interested in getting a set of these wedges, you can down load the file from my Etsy store and print them yourself, or have me print and ship you a set!

Thanks for watching Dad It Yourself!!!
