Corona Clipper SH61000 Diamond Hoe

This is a great tool that really works well. Can use it on both the push and the pull so doubles the work accomplished. The diamond points allow me to cut weeds individually with a lot more precision and a lot less damage to the plants I want to keep. So much easier to use than a regular hoe. It arrived well packaged in brand new shape. All 4 edges are sharpened and the handle is attached into the metal socket with a wood screw for easy replacement should it break. The handle is the perfect diameter for my hands and I can grab it easily enough that my hands and forearms don't get tired. i am on the shorter side (5'4") and the angle of the head was not optimal for me to keep it flat without bending over quite far hurting my lower back. i put it on my vice and hit the rod where it bends between the head and the socket opening it up a little bit. Was able to widen the bend until the angle is now perfect for me. The hoe already worked well, and am looking forward to trying it with the new adjustment. So i can say with confidence that it works well, and was easy for me to adjust to fit so that it will work even easier.

I hate weeding. Words fail to describe my hatred for this basic task. This product is magic as far as I'm concerned. It's easy to sharpen, its long enough I don't have to bend over double or get on my knees to remove them at the roots - I just run it along the top of the soil and it lops them off. I am to the crab grass as the French Revolution was to the Parisian aristocracy.

What a difference between this and any other hoe. I tried regular, stirrup, star wheel and round hoes. This hoe glides under the surface with minimal effort compared to the other hoes. slices off weeds(and peas and beans if u r not careful) like butter. I can carefully weed right up next to the pant stems on the pull stroke, slide under trellises and rabbit barriers. I touch up the edges once a year with a flat file. I came back here after 6 years wondering if I should get another and the price went up a bunch. No more leaving it out in the weather.

This is a fine and cleverly designed hoe which work well -- but one star less because on hillsides it not only cuts weeds, it also pulls dirt downhill which you certainly don't want to be doing on a hillside where you've planted to hold the earth in place. This would be a problem with all such hoes, I suppose, and not just this one. But it's my experience with the hoe. As for it's design and how it works, it's very good. The diamond shape is kind of clever since it allows you to wiggle it around to cut weeds below the surface and even cut very small roots, but it's also a lightweight head (the handle is solid wood so the entire hoe is not that light -- warning) that isn't difficult to move around. It's very good -- but I'm a bit bummed by the problem of pulling dirt downhill when I use it on my hillside, so I may go back to more hand weeding which is more gentle. If I can stay balanced on the hillside!

My sister has one of these diamond shaped hoes and she has had hers for at least 20 years. She brought it over to my home to help me do some gardening and I fell in love with it! I decided to buy one for my self and I could not find it at any of the major retail home centers such as Orchard Supply, Home Depot or Lowe's and even went to a couple of local garden suppliers and no one had them. Finally I looked on Amazon (where I should have looked first) and I found one and ordered one for myself.Used this amazing hoe this past weekend and it worked like a charm. It got into some tight spaces where I couldn't use a conventional hoe and got right next to the plant stem without any harm coming to it. Used it to get rid of some weeds in more open areas and it did the trick. I love my new hoe! One thing you should be aware of is the diamond shaped head is very, very sharp and use it with caution. Also if you order your hoe from Amazon, they do an excellent job of packaging it. It came nicely packaged and arrived without a problem!

If you have a garden and you need to clean the weed nice and fast, this tool is for you, it takes no time to clean all the small and big spaces to maintain the garden out of weed so your plants can grow faster and healthy, it is easy to use.

This hoe is manufactured to Corona usual good/great standard of quality. However the design is marginal. Stating all sides of hoe are sharpened, leads one to believe it could be used like a hulu hoe. However, the angle to the handle is such that it only really cuts/hoes a single direction...no back and forth. Had the angle been 11 degrees different this would be a 5+ star weed-lethal hoe. As is--this hoe is of little more use than a triangle hoe.

I bought this diamond hoe almost ten years ago and still use it constantly. The head is very sharp and I've only sharpened it once. It makes garden weeding much easier.
