Fiskars Garden Hoe #9663 Reviews
Did cut a 2 inch root with only one strike and get the job done, excellent shock absorbing shaft. yes, it's a GARDEN HOE, not a back yard one, for that I'll have to buy another one for serious digging, very light, very well built, works well with either glove or bare handed, cuts roots of weeds pretty well, and dug up half inch of soil if you want to, because of the angle of the head part, it's not possible to dig more than that.
Glad I did. I needed a new hoe and saw this on Amazon for under $17 including shipping. Third, the handle is all aluminum so not only strong but INCREDIBLY light weight - again, making it less tiring to work with. 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. If you have never used a sharpened hoe and think all garden labor is excrutiating then you will be pleasantly surprised. My only regret - I only bought one. First, the handle is entirely one piece so no worries about collapsing or coming apart like so many of the newer two piece tools.
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. Fifth - the blade is already sharpened direct from the factory. 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. I get sick and tired of buying garden tools that are hard to work with, poorly designed and then fall apart. For that price I can barely purchase a cheap one so thought I would give it a try. Combined with the ergonomic fit, light weight and solid construction - not to mentin price -this is a fantastic value for the money.
Fourth - the handle is ergonomically shaped in the triangular shape to fit your natural grasp so no more sliding or blisters.
So many of my garden tools are in two pieces now. I am very pleased with it and shipping was quick too. It's so lightweight and very sharp. This hoe has a lifetime warranty.
