Lawn-clearing tools (5)

I believe the answer is:

rakes

(Other definitions for rakes that I've seen before include "men to be debauched" , "Searches" , "Libertines or garden tools" , "Collects leaves - leaf collectors" , "Garden tools or playboys" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
