Forged Hoe, Aminette, Pulling Hoe, Hoe, Pickaxe, Digging Tool, 43 cm, 454 g

I really love this tool. I am a professional gardener and since I got it I use it all the time when working in borders and flower beds. I also use it alongside a bigger mattock when digging out shrubs or old roots as it can get into small spaces. Because it is forged-and it looks hand forged and hand finished -you can re sharpen sharpen the blade and it is great for cutting small woody roots, digging out bramble roots or just simply weeding. It should be made clear that this is a hand tool for use with one hand..it is not a full sized mattock which it resembles . It is only 17 " long and is light and easy to use. There is a small hole for fixing a screw to fix the head to the handle more securely.. My advice is to do that as soon as you can as the product-or mine anyway didn't have that screw or stud. Really like this.

tool ideal for what I wanted . BUT the head parted company with the wooden handle very soon. Screw not inserted through head and handle. put in a screw. Company should have done this.

Excellent tool for tackling the weeds on my allotment

Ok you can pay more and get a better tool but this tool did the job it was bought for. The blade was good, the wooden shaft stood up to the task, my only gripe would be that the plastic handle slid up the shaft easily, this would be better glued in place, putting a small screw through the handle held it in place for the duration of the job, good for small jobs and amateur gardeners

This is an amazing little tool and great for working soil in confined areas. It is of light weight for easy one-handed use and very sturdy. Easily a 5-star purchase.

A nail holds the head to the handle which broke on first use.

This is one of the most fun garden tools I have. I'm using it to take up a patch of moss/weeds that passes for a small front lawn (to replace with gravel). I thought it would take ages with this, and didn't want to get a full size mattock. However, I was able to take up about half (6m2) in about 40 mins over lunchtime. I'll need to remove the other half, the use it to dig out 5cm of the soil, so this little tool is going to get a lot of work. The heft is pretty good, as is the balance, meaning it's easy to get into a rhythm. The blade is such that it cuts satisfyingly under the turf and you can work the entire line, about 10" deep, at a time. Taken off a point for lightweight, though. Whilst it is pretty well balanced, after 40 mins I ended up with a blister on the base of my finger in a really awkward place.

This did exactly what I needed it for - reducing bulging roots under a path. The blade needs to be sharper to be properly called an adze and the head eventually became loose. But a few minutes with a file and adding a screw sorted both. It's a simple tool, simply made. Right size and right weight.

I like a little more of strong and sharp cuthe hoe and the handle

Lange habe ich für meinen Sohn (jetzt 11J.) nach einer stabilen Hacke gesucht, die als robuste Hacke zum Einsatz kommen kann. Viele Hacken sind zu klein (Beethacken), haben zu kurze Stile, sind aus verformbaren Blech, oder mit Halbstil schon wieder zu groß. Diese Hacke ist geschmiedet und sehr verformungsstabil in einem Stück hergestellt. Der Vierkant Stiel ist ausreichend lang und trägt am Ende eine Plastikkappe, die rutschhemmend wirkt. Am Anfang traten hier Mineralölgerüche auf, die jetzt aber nach Abseifen und häufigem Waschen zum Verschwinden gebracht wurden. Ein Strukturplastikteil könnte hier Abhilfe schaffen. Der dicke, Pilzkopf - Nagel am Stielkopf spaltet das Hartholz. Nach einiger Zeit wurde hier eine passende, kurze, rostfreie Holzschraube eingefügt. Wahrscheinlich muss ich bald den Kopf etwas absägen, damit die Schraube wieder in neues Stielholz eingreift, nach Vorbohren im Holz. Ich habe die Hacke ganz lackiert mit blauer Umweltfarbe, damit ein Rosten unterbleibt. Die Hacke wird immer trocken und sauber gelagert. Bisher hat die Hacke sämtlichen Steinen zum Anheben und Wurzeln zum Abhacken wiederstanden. Das Produkt ist sehr alltagstauglich und liegt gut in der Hand.

Producto en buen estado. Cumple mis expectativas. Entrega correcta.

This small garden hoe is one of the most used tools in my garden. I garden in raised beds. grow bags, and some small in ground rows and it is the perfect size for that. It is a pretty simple design but , in my 70 years, I have found that sometime the most simple things work the best. My wife liked it so much that I bought her one too. The only criticism that I have is that the small nail that holds the head on should be replaced with a screw to better secure it !

Produit fonctionnel et pratique. Il est dommage que le revêtement du manche en caoutchouc s'enlève en cas d'utilisation intensive.
