A rake system is provided which includes a pair of rake-like arm extensions, each having a multi-tine rake head mounted on an improved ergonomic handle. The handle employs an extension shaft which attaches to the rake head, and a grip shaft which projects from the extension shaft at an acute angle so as to define an angled user handhold. A forearm brace extends between the extension shaft and grip shaft, the forearm brace being configured to engage the back side of the user\s forearm so as to oppose pivot of the rake head about the user handhold when debris is picked up. The extension and grip shafts preferably are configured to run substantially parallel to one another in a leverage region which extends from corresponding alignment bends of the shafts to the handle\s proximal end.
