Nisaku by Sun Joe NJP555 Kumade Gohondume 5 Tine Claw Rake and Cultivator 4.75-Inch Width, Japanese Carbon Stainless Steel Prongs

What a great little cultivator! It's small and feels like an extension of my hand. It's easy to use for scratching out tiny weeds and getting soil loosened for planting. It is very solid and well-constructed for the money. This will get a lot of use in my raised beds.

Luv this handy tool for weeding and tilling up the soil around plants. Excellent size and feels sturdy and heavy duty in my hands. Don’t think I will need to purchase again, but if necessary, definitely will purchase again and will gift! This is excellent for any gardener of any ability.

Works beautifully.

Changing over all my garden tools. These Japanese tools are all fantastic. Wish I had discovered them in the first place. Buy GOOD tools and you'll buy once. All those colored pictures of colored tools are just cheap and don't do the job in the yard or on your body. These tools get the job done. I love them. Thank you

Well made, has a good feel, isn't balanced (wouldn't expect it to be) but don't think it would cause fatigue. The slats/cut outs in the sides have sharp edges though, first thing I noticed. Was super-well packaged and the tines are beautiful. Works very well, will last a long time, might add something like soft tennis grip around the handle

Points are sharp and really dig into the soil

Used these instead of a shovel for getting wood chips into a Gorilla cart. The wood chips were from a tree trimming company and were absolutely chock full of a tangle of long sticks, so it was absolutely impossible to shovel them. When I bought two of these claws, one for each hand, and went back at it, everything changed. After fruitlessly toiling for weeks and making little progress, I knocked the job of moving a whole truckload of mulch out in a matter of days. Game changer. Buy them! One note though: the wooden handle is beautifully polished and smooth (yay, no splinters!), but it is in fact so smooth that it was slippery and hard to grip with leather gloves. So get gloves that have the rubbery grippy parts on them, too. Then go to town with your awesome ninja claws!

Very sturdy! The right size for hand work. Brings a new approach to weeding and hand cultivating plants. Ordered 3 more so everything as one.
