BondManufacturing LH016 Culti-Hoe with Telescopic Handle & Non-Slip Grip

The 5 star rating I've given this tool is because it perfectly fits my needs and my short stature. That said, it might NOT be the right tool for your needs and if you're a 6' tall person, you will probably end up with a back ache if you're not working in a raised bed.It is, however, the perfect tool for good soil, in any raised bed gardening. The easily adjustable handle length quickly converts it from a short potting cultivator to a longer garden hoe. It isn't flimsy, but if you are working in heavy soils, like clay it probably won't be hanging in your garden shed for more than a couple of seasons.I am using it primarily on loose soil heavily laden with rocks, pebbles and tree roots of various sizes and so far it has held up quite well to hitting these obstacles without the tines bending or the hoe dulling. It's very light weight, which means you don't have the weight of the tool head to help you get through the soil. I've found this lighter weight tool head to be a good thing for what I am doing. If you are working heavier soils, this could be a detriment.Because of the adjustable handle, I can use it standing, (but remember I'm short - 5'2") and I can also use it for closeup work under plants and bushes by collapsing it and getting on my knees. If your work is primarily in good soil, cultivating and weeding plants especially in raised beds, I strongly recommend this garden tool. If you're dealing with packed dirt or clay, especially in a large area, this probably isn't the right tool for that job.

We first bought this product for my disabled husband in a wheelchair so he can once again enjoy gardening. It is an excellent heavy product that does a good job. The downsides are that it tends to come undone when fully extended, and the rubber handle does slip off easily. In the end, we would purchase it again.

The tool is of excellent quality and I am sure will last a long time. What got me frustrated was the bubble wrap that was shrink wrapped at both ends. Make sure you have a box cutter. It was like doing surgery trying to get the stinkin wrap off this thing. The ends of the tool already have plastic protectors on the tines so why the mess of shrunken bubble wrap is beyond me.

I am a retired landscaper and avid gardener and this is one of the most useful tools I have ever owned. Has sturdy metal pick/cultivator that allows for deep digging and weed removal. Telescopic feature is especially useful helping me reach into awkward spots.

The item arrived in a flimsy box with ripped tape and a hole where the handle had poked through - there was no bubble wrap or any other protective shipping material. It was difficult to extend the tool and required me to anchor the tip on the floor using my feet in order to extend the pole length. I haven’t had it long enough to rate the durability but am giving it an initial rating of 3 due to the poor packaging and difficulty extending the length. The idea behind it is great, and I’m hoping it holds up through many seasons.

This is an excellent product! Very high quality! I just bought one recently to replace the one I lost a couple months back that I have been using for the last 15 years or so. So happy to have found it here on Amazon, because the local nurseries and big home stores don’t carry it at the moment. Im a painting contractor, and what I primarily use it for is moving desert landscape stones away from the foundation of homes(creating a trench) to prepare for exterior painting. After the painting is complete, i then use it to push the stones back up against the home/foundation. This model is more that twice the strength of competitors models. Believe me, I bought another brand and immediately had to return it because I could tell right off the bat that it wouldn’t hold up to the use/abuse that this model has and will.

looks like handy thing but telescopic feature foes not work at all - it does not hold its length when you turn it open, keeps sliding down, does not stay fixed open in full length. That makes it useless. Unfortunately, cannot send it back due to return window is closed.

Great

Excelente herramienta para el jardín. Se ve de buena calidad, con materiales sólidos y duraderos.

I’ve not even had it for a month and it’s already broken, the head popped off of it.

Sirve muy bien para trabajo de jardinería de pocas dimensiones. Muy práctico

Now her favorite tool to use in the garden

Great for use while standing or sitting on a stool. Looks pretty solid. Compact storage is a great bonus!
