We used one at Speke Hall to level beds for sowing veg in the Victorian Kitchen Garden. Their main use, though, is for levelling the soil prior to sowing or laying a lawn. Bit pricy if you're only going to use it once but I bet your local cricket club has one.

Oh gosh yes that looks perfect! Far too pricy, as you say, but what a brilliant thing (I do love a fit-for-purpose tool / gadget).
That was my feeling the first time I used one. The other garden tool that's as good as that is the Wolf double-edged hoe. I do like a good hoe!
I discovered the wonders of a plastic tined rake this year. Quite ridiculous how happy it made me.
