I read in a number of places after I got this tool that there are better wheel hoes available. Elliot Coleman for one recommends one that fits the description of the Glaser Wheel Hoe exactly. First of all because of the way the tools mount on this one it does an inefficient job of transfering the energy to the soil. The tools that come with it are very light weight and the range of tools available isn't as great as with other manufacturers. This is more of a replica of an antique although it gets some basic jobs done. The fact that it doesn't have any of the improvements made in tools like this from other manufacturers mean that you have to do a lot of things twice or more to get the job done. I got the wood handled version which I was glad of because it is stronger and heavier. The handles unfortunately were completely raw wood so I had to buy some primer just to feel good about taking this out for the first time. Some of the hardware used to attach tools was weak and bent the first time it was used and the instructions how to assemble the tool were useless. The box was ripped when I got it because the packaging is shoody and I felt lucky that some of the small part bags didn't get lost during shipping. The wheel axle is just a piece of pipe that runs on a piece of round stock. Since that fitting is rather sloppy it makes it easier for the wheel hoe to not track as straight as it might and cause several course corrections when doing a pass down a row.

The fact that this is the only wheel hoe available on Amazon.com is unfortunate. I thought I was getting a great deal when I used a $50 Amazon gift card to get this tool and now I am thinking I only got what I personally paid for. I am able to do most of what I wanted to do with this tool but wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a wheel hoe.

The shipping box was torn, but all the parts where in the box. It was easy to build once I related the parts to the picture. The cultivator functions as described. It quickly removes small weeds, turns the soft earth and I get the exercise my doctor recommends. I am satisfied with this product.

I finally broke down and ordered one of these and got it in early summer after the weeks were already firmly established in the garden. It is work to use the cultivator, and just as with a hoe, you can work hard or hardly work. I am very pleased with my purchase. I only use the cultivator, since I would have to work too hard to use this for plowing the ground. I put the seed furror attachment on to lay out some rows, but found that I could do this task just as fast and with more precision with a hoe. I am going to get the hoe attachment for Christmas, hopefully. Althought some things could be better with the tool, this was the first year in a long time that there were few weeds in the garden. I would recommend the purchase of this tool.
