Summary: Good all-purpose hack-and-chop tool
Comment: Well made tool, similar to those in Home Depot and Lowe's. It works really well now that I've put a sharp edge on the flat side with my bench grinder. We live in Texas, and we have several raised-bed gardens. The bermuda grass loves to run under the landscape timbers and into the rich, organically improved soil that's inside those timbers. The "teeth edge" of this tool is good for "grabbing" the runners and pulling them out; bermuda is tougher than wire once its roots get connected with the soil. It's a good tool and I would recommend it to anyone considering buying a macro-level tool for working in gardens and flower beds.
Customer Rating: Summary: Pedological Deobfuscator Rocks!
Comment: In California, we use this tool in preparing and examining the walls of trenches excavated across earthquake faults. Our goal is to assess the potential for ground surface rupture due to fault movement. I facetiously call it a "pedological deobfuscator" and even wrote a small paper on its use [Borchardt, Glenn. "The Pedological Deobfuscator." Soil Survey Horizons 37, no. 2 (1996): 47-48]. In the scientific study of soils (also known as "pedology") for age dating we need to see soil structure, which may contain little cubes or columns that form as soils become older. When the trench is first excavated, the walls generally are smooth and encrusted with soil from other parts of the trench. This material needs to be removed for us to see the actual soil structure. This tool is ideal for doing that.
Customer Rating: Summary: Much better than I thought
Comment: It is quite very useful, much better than I thought. I use it for purpose on
digging weed out, or dig a hole, or cut vine out. It is easy to hold the handle, and I like the shape. The price is reasonable too.
Customer Rating: Summary: Truly Better Than All the Rest!
Comment: This is the one you need, the one you cannot do without, regardless of the size of your garden or even if you're using it only to keep the weeds out of your lawn. Unlike the larger, heavier, even cooler-looking cultivators, this tool REALLY does the job. Because its tines are small and close together, you can "hammer" the tool right at the roots of even the most murderous weeds and then just pop them right out, roots and all. I have one area of my lawn that I've been fighting with for years -- it always seems to come back in weeds. This year I used this tool instead, and all you can find there now is the grass I planted. In my gardens, however, I don't want grass, I want vegetables or flowers. This is the most effective and easy-to-use garden weeder ever. Its size, weight, small tines, and the sharp hoe side help me keep the grass and weeds out like never before -- its simple but effective engineering make it easy.
Customer Rating: Summary: My favorite
Comment: This weeder rocks! Truly an all purpose tool, this is the first (sometimes the only) tool that I grab when gardening. The hoe end is a good scuffling tool for small weeds and will chop through something sturdier like a blackberry vine in a pinch, while the tined end is perfect for impaling deep-rooted weeds like dandelions, tansy, and nettles and then leveraging the whole thing out like a claw hammer. The foam rubber grip means it won't slip out of your hands, the welded-on head is better than my old one (no bolts to come loose), and the enameled (?) finish defies dirt.
