What customers say
Customers consistently praise the ComfortGEL grip, noting it significantly reduces hand strain during extended use.

Know before you buy
While the heat-treated steel tines are durable, this is a manual tool designed for cultivating and loosening existing garden beds. It works best in soil that has been previously worked or is relatively loose, rather than breaking virgin, rock-hard ground.
The plunger is designed to push debris or clods of soil out from between the tines. It allows you to clear the tool quickly without having to reach in by hand, keeping your workspace clean and the tines efficient.
Yes, the 32-inch width and manual operation make it an excellent choice for raised beds. It allows you to cultivate the soil precisely without the bulk or mechanical complexity of a gas-powered rototiller.
The ComfortGEL grips are designed to provide a soft, cushioned surface that absorbs some of the pressure during operation. This helps reduce hand and wrist strain, especially during longer sessions in the garden.
Yes, the footplate is constructed from all-metal, providing a solid platform to apply your body weight. This design ensures the tines can penetrate the soil effectively while maintaining stability.
