Saving my back and hands!

Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2021

Verified Purchase

I recently moved to a new house that has a very large yard - it came in great shape and I need to keep it that way. The massive amount of area that is susceptible to weeds meant that I was spraying and pulling 1-2 afternoons a week to stay on top of it all in the Georgia heat. I had already once gotten poison ivy at some point from brushing against it somewhere from being up to my elbows around shrubs trying to get every last week.

I recently saw - and i bet you did too - an Instagram ad for a tool very similar to this one. None of my local garden centers had anything like it, and I didn't want to order from a fly by night ad, but the design of a tool like this seemed perfect. Chose this one and I am wondering where it has been all my gardening life! Just apply a little pressure to dislodge weeds, works great under pine straw, just push the mulch back into place after weeding - again without bending over. I can do a quick pass of the whole yard now in under an hour to touch up, and I don't get my hands near any suspicious vines! I can do a pass after to pick up what I want to put in a yard bag with my garden claws - so much more efficient!

I love it, you will love it too. Only complaint was it came in a HUGE box that it absolutely didn't need to be in (which I recycled) - but that's an Amazon shipping issue, not a product issue. Great tool, very sturdy, save your back when weeding.

Makes quick work of weeds.

Reviewed in the United States on July 27, 2020

Just got this a couple of days ago. Years ago, my father had one that was all metal. It was around here for a half century and now it was no place to be found. Not even sure what it was made of but it never had a spot of rust on it. Probably aluminum. I remember using it as a kid when he had a huge garden. How easy and maneuverable it was. I went to a larger garden this year. rototilled up a part of the lawn and had topsoil brought in. Everybody knows what grass does, you can't kill it. Started thinking and remembered my dad's hula hoe. Searched and found this one that was of a good length and seemed sturdy. This is all that and more, it is a back saver. Had to test it out immediately and it worked just like the old one. Love how the weeds just stay right where you cut them off below the top of the soil. Almost like the are laughing at you until you take a rake and add them to the debris pile. What it also does is breaks up that top inch or so of harden soil from watering and walking through the garden. Noticed today after watering that there was no runoff or puddling. Hoping this one lasts as long as the one my dad had. Would still like to find that one again to compare.

Attention Dog Lovers !!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2017

Verified Purchase

I was looking for a hoe of greater quality and durability than I could find in Home Depot or Lowe’s, something where the head is made from substantial steel, rather than recycled Pepsi cans.

I inadvertently came across this True Temper Action Hoe and, while it wasn’t necessarily what I’d originally been looking for in terms of function, it looked well made and the lightbulb above my head lit up… ah-hah! This could be good! I could repurpose it! This was a garden tool I’d never ever seen before but I had just the job for it.

Now, I’m going to be as delicate as I can here with my terminology and vocabulary because I don’t want the Amazon Reviews Police bouncing this review. I think it’s information that needs to get out there because I’m sure a certain strata of people would actively welcome it.

Here goes…

Are you a home owner? AND a dog lover? (apartment & condo owners can stop right here: this won’t apply to you because you don’t have a back yard to do any maintenance on) If you are, particularly if you have two or more of our beloved furry friends, then you are all too aware of the little presents they leave on a regular basis for us in the garden.

I tidy these up by collecting with a mulching rake (like an ordinary rake but narrower: the tines are only about 10” wide instead of, say, 24” wide) and this bucket/scoop thingy that has an upright handle on it (I’ve no idea what they’re called, but you’d instantly recognize it if you saw it). And this works fine. Well, fine for most of the little packets of ex-dog food.

However, you dog owners out there know that sometimes the, uh… consistency of the gifts is such that they puddle into a blobby mess instead of remaining firm and easily dealt with. If you factor in some hours of being baked in the hot sun (here in southern California, this is obviously a regular occurrence) a catalytic reaction takes place that rivals vulcanization, yet is orders of magnitude greater. I confess I’ve always wondered how some seemingly basic biologic mass can transform under sunlight into something the periodic table hasn’t even contemplated yet. Someone should look into this. Their subsequent patents could give Gorilla Glue a devastating knock. Sorry. I’ve digressed.

So, when I saw the picture of this hoe I immediately thought “This is what I need to scrape the puddled number twos from my back garden (both concrete and dirt areas)!”

I was wondering just how Amazon was going to ship it. It arrived in a long narrow cardboard container… doh. It’s a pretty substantial item. The handle is wood and decently robust (no spaghetti skinny bendy handles here). Moreover, having tested it this weekend, it works a treat.

For $16, if you even think you might be able to utilize this, you really ought to give it a try.

Most recommended.

Wonderful, easy weeding. Not so great with micro irrigation set ups.

Really easy to keep garden beds clear of everpresent weeds. Simple, and easy to use. Long handle means less stepping on garden beds.

I struggled to use effectively in my veggie garden with a micro sprinkler and drip irrigation setup. Tool doesn't easily navigate around my network of sprinkler hoses. Gone back to my regular hoe for those areas!

I confess I never fully understood hoes - they seemed like more work than weeding. That is definitely not the case with this tool! The cutting head moves back and forth with a repetitive, rocking motion, rips the weeds out of the ground rapidly and covers a lot of distance. I weeded an entire 25' bed in about an hour - the same bed I would allocate an hour a day over the course of a week to clear out. I did have to go back through and remove the slaughtered weeds, because those nasty things will just flip over and sink roots in again if left in place. But the pulling part was a breeze, and I didn't mind the cleanup afterwards. Do know that the process will entirely overturn the top layer of soil - not very favorable for no-dig gardening, but sometimes one must do whatever is necessary to get the damn weeds out.

Great Tool - Paper Labels

Reviewed in Canada on February 25, 2021

Great tool, love the large diameter wooden handle, albeit just barely long enough for me at 6'-3".

Purely aesthetic, but mine came with 4 sticky paper labels that tear instead of peeling off, see picture.
