When asked about it, the Pyro claims to have found it in the garden and has been using it as a backscratcher, though we must admit we have always wondered how the bent teeth and bloodstains got there. Now we know.
— Fancy Vs. Nasty update description

The Back Scratcher is a melee weapon for the Pyro. It appears as a gardening rake with a wooden handle and a green metal head that has bloodstains on the teeth. When equipped, this weapon increases melee damage by 25% and raises healing from health packs by 50%. But this is at the cost of 75% slower healing from Medics and Dispensers. The rate at which Ubercharge is filled is not slowed, allowing heavily injured Pyros to greatly build a Medic's Ubercharge.

Bugs

  • Health received from a Medic using the Crusader's Crossbow heals as per normal instead of at a hampered rate.
  • Due to the size of the head of the rake, it clips significantly with the Pyro's leg when taunting.
