About Weeding Tools Gardening Sickle Made in Japan Compound Steel Japanese Garden Hand Weeder Hand-held Hoe Scythe
Overall Feedback:
85% positive
86% appreciated the adjustable handle
I was able to clear my entire patch of chive stalks in less than 10 minutes using the manual weeder, indicating its effectiveness and adjustability for my needs.
81% appreciated its robust build, though 19% experienced breakage
I have used the manual-weeder only twice and a piece of the blade broke off, indicating that it is not very sturdy.
The manual weeder cannot handle a bush branch about 1/8" thick (with no bark) as it results in chip-outs and a bent blade.
90% found it easy to maneuver
I was satisfied with the ease of use of the Brown 5 Weeding sickle. I cleared all three young shrubs and mulched them before the sun got too hot, which was much quicker than I expected.
I found using the manual weeder almost relaxing.
76% appreciated the low maintenance, though 24% found it required frequent sharpening
I had to sharpen the manual-weeder later, even though it was perfectly sharp when new.
I am happy with the product but may look into getting a longer handle to keep me in a standing position as my old back can only go for 30mins at a time before I take a break.
This tool makes it easier for me to perform periodic abatement of bermuda/bentgrass and nutsedge in my flower beds.
I warn that the blade is very sharp and one should be careful while using it.
81% found it easy to store, but 19% had trouble finding space
With the sickle cutter, I can reach between the plants and cut the tropicanna stalks close to the ground.
The tool has a pliable plastic cover for the blade which is helpful but not long-lasting.
89% praised for its effective weed removal
I was able to remove weeds growing up to the base of my plants and flowers without any damage.
The weed remover works beautifully, but I nicked myself with the sharp blade.
86% liked its lightweight design
I have arthritis in my hands, so a lightweight tool is important. It doesn't tire my grip as quickly as a heavier tool would.
I find the tool lightweight, which is the whole point.
