What would be the main use for this 'rake like' tool?

Sounds good!
 
Yes, it is called a 'de-thatcher' but it's true purpose is 'sweat generator'.

These buggers are made of steel and heavy as the dickens; you'll get a real upper body workout and after about 15 minutes. you'll ask yourself 'Why did I buy this thing anyway ???"

No way! This is a garden harrow. I had and used one for thirty years before it rusted away and fell apart. I wish I could find another one. You use this to level and till a freshly rototilled garden bed. Those tines carve up the bigger clods while pulling, and pushing levels out the grade and mixes in the fertilizer. Yes, I have garden rake, and that is what I'm forced to use now, but no way does it work as good as one of these garden harrows.

Dethaching a lawn? Good grief. I can't imagine that working...
 
My Son calls it the death rake. We mainly use it to clean up the yard from the crab apple mess.

I can see that it would work quite well for that. And the adjustable head angle would apt it to different soil consistencies. Maybe not a gimmick after all!
