I work for a termite company and this is the most ideal tool to create trenches for chemical applications. I would also recommend this tool for all house painters to trench for painting perimeters below existing grade. I would highly recommend this tool for Cox Communication workers to more easily conceal wires and cables along home perimeters. The long handle makes the work a breeze minimizing hunched over back pain. Great product!

Small Size/Shape for Tight Area Weeding; ideal for weeding those troublesome weeds that like to grow right next to your plants, where a regular hoe would damage your plants. Some 50 years ago my dad took a regular hoe to a blacksmith who ground it down to this shape for doing close up weeding next to plants; I inherited it however, rust and handle wear have made it time for a replacement. (I now use some lubricant spray on my tools to help avoid rust/etc.)

A more pricey narrow/slim weeder would be the Telsco weeder that is like a narrow Hula-Ho; additionally there are other narrow long handle weeders that work similar to this one.

The key to successful weeding is removing as much of the weed's root as possible. Where do "weeds" come from? There are some weed seeds that are very small and they actually come through municipality water systems and have been nick-named "water weeds" - so your plants need water and when you water them you also can be seeing the ground with "water weeds." Then there are weed seeds that just blow in with the wind. Treating yourself to some specialty weeders should help make your gardening hobby even more fun!

ITEM IS USELESS TO WEED. YOU CAN ONLY DO A VERY SMALL AREA AT A TIME.

IF YOU HAVE A BIG YARD, FORGET IT.
