I went into a Grocery Outlet store maybe 20 years ago and spotted this (cheap!) and bought it. I use it mostly to turn my compost pile, it does a great job. I've never seen one before or since. Have you? It's a kind of rake with a weird but great plastic handle system. What's it called?

Huh, never seen one.
Yeah, never seen it in a hardware store of any kind, I been in a lot.

Here's a closeup of the business end. I realized it can be used either side up the other day. I'd always had the tines down but the other way you can drag dirt pretty darn good.

It looks odd to me that not all the tines/teeth are twisted, but I've come across them called twisted tooth rakes, are meant for breaking up dense garden soil by slicing through it (when all the teeth are rotated, it makes no sense that only some on that one are, which will be worse than not having the non-twisted teeth at all, by increasing resistance to slice through the soil).

However I am a bit confused because your first pic, and this latest business end pic, do not look like they have the teeth twisted the same amount. Are these two different rakes?

Same tool. The teeth are twisted because I've had this thing around 20 years and used it a bunch of times and not bothered to bend the teeth back into position, because it still does the job.

Quickie brand still exists. They make brooms and mops. You could email them and ask.
