Eye Hoe with Fiberglass Handle

When I was a kid every old guy in the valley had one of these. With a kid, a grub hoe, some soda and pocket change, you had a roto-tiller- only cheaper. Need sprinkler trenches, choose an older kid and you had a trencher. I remember this tool made quick work of California clay.Have not had a chance to use it too much yet, but it is way easy to use in the AZ caliche - and the handle has not broken while prying out rocks. My slight concern was the edge, but I took a grinder to it and cleaned it up before use. Chops most roots in a single blow. Starting the chore using spades, I broke two on small rocks before I ordered this.One worry is the handle, no problems there yet, but I will be glueing the rubber grip as it will slip under use. Possible worry will be the handle. if you trench and allow rocks to impact the handle I imagine it will degrade rather quickly. compared to ash.Thanks for a nice tool

This is the single greatest yard/garden tool I have ever purchased. Used it to weed my garden and to make quick work of digging out a pond for my ducks.

This hoe arrived unassembled with a yellow handle. You can tell the tool looks like made in China quality. But that aside it is a good tool. The only thing that kept me from giving 5 stars was the eye of the hoe needed grinding with my dremel die grinder. There were many burrs and bumps inside the eye of the hoe. I've bought 2 of these and one was worse than the other. Once it was all ground smooth, the handle fit well. Put the handle through the hoe eye and bump it on the ground a few times and it's on there solid. It clears weeds very quickly. If you have someone clearing your weeds, this tool will pay for itself in one day with the increased productivity over a standard hoe. The handle is solid too. Will have to see now how hard the steel is and how often it needs sharpening.

This hoe is a traditional tool used in Asia for digging and removing weeds. It has sufficient weight (4.5 lb) to dig and the long handle allows me to do job without bending. The hoe is made of forged iron and is sturdy. Previously, the hoes I bought from hardware stores were like pieces of toys. They are too light and do not dig. As for this hoe, the only thing I worry about is the connection of hoe and the handle is not tightened by wedges. The manufacturer said it would tighten itself but I felt wiggling after use. As a result, the hoe ring cuts the handle a little. I will wait and see if it lasts. So far, I am happy about it and I'd give it 5 stars.

This hoe will handle any job you throw it at! I love this style of hoe, I first encountered it in sustainable agriculture in a developing country. It does a fabulous job of breaking through hardpan, clay, etc. I now use it for my own small garden, rather than rototilling, I double dig with this hoe. The hoe head and handle fit together perfectly well and I didn't have to pound it in or anything. It is a rather long handle, but I'm also a rather short person. The company also sent a couple of promo items, which was a nice bonus.

This is what all little hoes should grow up to be. This thing is solid and sharp. You could skip using a tiller and still work up the ground quite nicely. Not as fast, but much quieter. Probably healthier too.

Excellent Hoe, High quality ,lightweight,easy to handle perfect tool for anyone. I was looking for hoe it is very hard to find something similar quality, anyone one can buy with confident. I prefer to work with this tool because of its versatility

Great tool for weeding and digging. Amazing price from Amazon. Very good value. I came from South-East Asia and this is the most popular and useful gardening tool there. Couldn't find this in the stores. Hooray for online shopping! Had been using a gooseneck hoe and hating it. Unlike the goose-neck hoe, this eye hoe has the center of mass in the same plane as the cutting edge and so does not bounce upon contact with soil or weeds. The goose neck acts as a spring, rendering the goose-neck hoe ineffective for serious work. Try this hoe and you will agree that millions of gardeners in the east can't be wrong. The weight of this model is just right for me (relatively small person), enabling me to work for hours without fatigue.
