This little hand hoe is perfect for garden weeding. It is lightweight, but fits the hand perfectly, and is maade of cast aluminuum. It has become my favorite garden tool.

This product compares favorably to similar products like the two AM Leonard Handy weeders, the 5" version and the Forged Handy Weeder (18"). For one, it is inexpensive and virtually indestructible. While I generally like the longer handles versions better, this product is different than competing tools because it is all aluminum, lightweight and has a smaller head so you can weed between plants better.
The 45 degree angle of the cutting surface is ideal and better for general use than the cape cod weeder which is angled at a 90 degree angle. (The Cape Cod weeder is a better tool for grouting or edging though). I bought two and added a longer handle to one with PVC Pipe and clamps. Now it has a 24 inch handle and can be without stooping over or forward and injuring my back (a common problem with virtually all short-handled, hand tools)

I bought one of these last year and loved the light weight and ease of use of this item.This year I have used it in making room for new plants where I had Bermuda grass to deal with. This item breezed through the toughest of these strangling runners with very little effort on my part and it did not stress out my shoulder or hands at all.
I am so impressed with it I am ordering two more to make sure I have one for every area.The single best hand tool you can find or purchase and I highly recommend it.

I already had the Fiskars Softouch trowel and bought this as a companion, and I’m not sorry I did. I’ve used a number of different brands and types of transplanters and trowels, and none of them come close to comparing to these.

While there were already two 5 star reviews, I wanted to add a third one just to say how great these are. The price is right, the product is superb – you just can’t go wrong here unless you just don’t need them (but then you wouldn’t be looking at this item, eh?).

After using this tool for the past two weeks digging down over 300 gladiolus bulbs in hard clay, I feel qualified to give a review. I did the same thing two years ago with another tool, and my hand really hurt. So, for $4.29 I decided to try this transplanter for this year’s effort. Well, a lot of things hurt when I garden, particularly my neck and lower back, but in the past two weeks of using this transplanter, my hand has been just fine. I also purchased the trowel and am really glad that I did. This transplanter is very sturdy and not only digs well through my impacted clay soil, but it is strong enough to leverage out the large rocks. For this price, you will be glad you have this item. Of course it’s also helpful to have the markings for how deep you are planting the bulbs.

Very impressive gardening tool, it has 1" to 4" markings on the metal part of the tool with a solid well built feel. The handle is well designed with a large hole for hanging. It’s made from a non slip resistant coating and the top end of the tool has an extra wide area great for pushing down when more leverage is desired. Love those Fiskars tools.
