I like to buy USA-made products. I shop my local farmers' market, try to leave my money with local businesses instead of big-box stores. So I naturally went with the "American Made" choice of hand aerator. When I pulled the aerator out of the packaging, I thought, "Ah, made by American convicts, most likely." The tines, or pluggers, or whatever they are called, are MIG-welded to the step, and mine were both pointing towards each other, instead of straight down. So obviously no rigorous quality inspection by the manufacturer. I suppose this is mostly an aesthetic concern, although I wouldn't be surprised if repeatedly pushing this thing into the ground with crooked tines might put stress on the welds. (One of my tines is bent about 10 degrees in from a 90-degree angle to the step, the other only a few degrees off.) The inside diameter of the pluggers (sorry I don't know what they're called) is a 1/4 inch smaller than those of the gas-powered aerator I rented from the tool yard; when I tried the Lawn Bully on my lawn, the pluggers merely plugged up instead of a new punch pushing out the old plug. I suspect this might be the case on most hand-held aerators. Ideally you want to pull out a plug; merely punching a hole compacts the dirt against the walls of the hole, making it less drain-able. The Lawn Bully appears sturdy enough; I will use it once a season (for 20 minutes at a time. I'd be nuts to try to do my lawns in one session) but I will annually rent a powered aerator. I just don't believe there's any hand-held substitute for running over the yard with a something driven by a motor that leaves pellets strewn all over the place.

2.0 out of 5 stars Creates holes but not plugs., May 25, 2011

Clogs on very first try.

Punches into the ground relatively well - no plug pushes our. The whole engineering of this thing was badly done. I can see alternatives in my mind that certainly would work better than the design of this product.

The whole point of core/plug aerating is to produce a plug.. not compound the problem by smashing holes in your lawn and compacting it more - you could just use a spike aerator for this and avoid the compacting problem. Core aeration should bring the bottom soil to the surface and not clog on the first operation. Too much work to constantly unclog it.. so you end up 'aerating' the lawn by pushing a hole... not cutting a hole.

Basically a waste of money if you want true core aeration. As mentioned previously, you are better off taking your money and going to a rental shop and renting a 'real' gas powered aerator for same amount.

This worked out great. With the hard soil in LA, I had to water the lawn the day before to soften it up. But it worked great after that. Lawn looks great as a result of aerating and fertilizer.
