Broken Day One

What else can I say, it broke from normal use on the first day! I believe the term is “chineseium”, whatever alloy makes up the green part of the head is brittle.

Useful tool but poor quality

This tools was great for about one week, then the plastic frame at the bottom broke. There was no issue with it's efficacy, however, it's durability is nonexistent. The manufacturer boasts about the steel handle, but the weak, plastic frame that holds the metal rotating spikes is fragile. Would recommend looking for something that is completely sturdy rather than partial.

I put a 20 Oz. fishing weight obove the tines for more down force.It seems to work well after that modification.

Short of renting a gas cultivator this worked great. I only had an area of 10 x 20 and this worked the best to get the area ready to reseed. It was the only thing that worked to get rid of the bind weed that threatened to take over.

Cheap Tines and no replacements available!

Cheaply made. The tines are weak and No Parts Are Available. Junk

Not strong enough.

Wouldn't buy again. Wasn't strong enough to turn over an area I plant in every year.

cultivator tines don't last

Cultivator tines aren't very sturdy; breaking with limited use. Can't seem to be able to find replacement tines either

Though it is a little hard to push through dried soil, it worked well for what I needed it to do.

Don't waste your money.

Poor quality, cheap materials, doesn't work. Tried it on garden soil, no luck. Tried it in Mojave Desert sand. Won't even touch the smallest weed.

Works fairly well. I used it to cultivate three 25ft garden beds. I didn't want to buy an expensive tilther, and for my relatively small garden, I could use this handtool to manually prepare the beds for seeding. I was happy with its performance. It only goes about 6" deep which does not disrupt the soil microbiology. I will remove any roots or weeds and you may have to manually free them from the tool. I would say its a good tool to have around a house.

This cultivator accomplished the desired task of breaking up the topsoil I had spread. It did not break as I used it, and I was gentle with it. It also effectively helped clear the soil of debris.

Does a good job with final prep of a garden or flower bed. Used it to work small clumps of clay dirt into the garden soil. Don’t count on it to help with large clumps or weedy dirt.

My only issue with this is that the middle cultivate kept coming off. Aside from that, it worked well.
