There may be a screw holding the handle to the rake. However, it would be a stretch of the imagination to consider a rake as a screw.
Perhaps the only similarity is that the rake may have a wedge-shaped fan at the bottom. And, screws function like wedges. But, here the analogy would stop short.

I think we have a screw loose on the swing.You have a screw loose in your head.

A screw is a combination of two simple machines: A wheel (the screw rotates about its axis) and an inclined plane (the thread of the screw) It is also used when the experiment goes wrong. ("Screw this, I'm going home")
A screw or a bolt is an inclined plane wrapped around a cylinder.

Yes, a leaf rake can be considered a type of lever. When you push down on the handle of the rake, it applies force on the leaves on the ground, allowing you to gather them up easily. The pivot point where the handle meets the rake head acts as the fulcrum in this lever system.
The wedge shape on most leaf rakes has nothing specific to do with the rake's ability to rake, but rather is the most common way to make a strong tool using the least material. The tines all share a common source-point at the base of the handle, and radiate from that point in straight lines. This gives you the common shape of most commercial rakes.
