I get sick and tired of buying garden tools that are hard to work with, poorly designed and then fall apart. I needed a new hoe and saw this on Amazon for under $17 including shipping. For that price I can barely purchase a cheap one so thought I would give it a try. Glad I did!
First, the handle is entirely one piece so no worries about collapsing or coming apart like so many of the newer two piece tools.
Second, the handle is nice and long - again, so many of the newer versions are skimping and making them just a few inches shorter so that it hurts your back to do any real work with them.
Third, the handle is all aluminum so not only strong but INCREDIBLY light weight - again, making it less tiring to work with.
Fourth - the handle is ergonomically shaped in the triangular shape to fit your natural grasp so no more sliding or blisters!
Fifth - the blade is already sharpened direct from the factory. One of the main reasons so many garden tools are terribly difficult and back-breaking to work with is poor design and failure to have a sharp edge. This comes ready to use or you can put a bit more edge if you prefer but either way - it is designe dto be sharped just like hoe’s of old. If you have never used a sharpened hoe and think all garden labor is excrutiating then you will be pleasantly surprised! Combined with the ergonomic fit, light weight and solid construction - not to mentin price -this is a fantastic value for the money!
My only regret - I only bought one.

So many of my garden tools are in two pieces now. This hoe has a lifetime warranty. It’s so lightweight and very sharp. I am very pleased with it and shipping was quick too!
