The Garden Weasel is one of the only hand tools that will loosen the hard clay here in my county - other than a tiller - I love it and it helped me weed my entire garden this summer and will again for many years to come. This is my second one and the only reason I needed a new one was because someone gave my other one away.

This product is great! I was skeptical when I bought it, but I needed something to get through the hard soil we have here. It worked great! It pulled up weeds by the roots, and broke up the dirt. It's great!

Sorry, I don't have much time to write a thorough review, but just wanted to quickly say that I LOVE this tool. It has been such a blessing to turn up our heavy, clay soil and our compost. I only wish I would have had this in the beginning of the growing season. It is very easy on my back. It can give you a bit of a workout, but nothing like a shovel or some of the other alternatives. I'm very happy with my purchase and highly recommend this.

Item arrived as described, I've been using for a couple of months with no issues. Appears to be solid construction at a decent price. Saved me a trip to the big box store.

This product works great to loosen and aerate soils in gardens or around trees. I live in an area with lots of clay and to break up the soil, I did have to lightly soak the area the night before I was going to use the Weasel, but it worked great. The Weasel broke up the soil and was a tremendous help in adding in compost to the area.

I will say, that the area I used this tool on had been tilled with a gas-powered tiller 2 years prior...so if you're working with a hard, never-been-tilled area, this might not be the tool for you because even though it makes a hard job easy, it's still pretty physically intensive to use this tool. You will break a sweat, but if you love gardening, it's soooo worth it. I consider this tool something to have for maintenance of gardens, not for the creation or building of them, especially if you have lots of additives to add to your soil like we do here in central Texas.

The Garden Weasel was a gift last summer and it has been a back saver. From a standing position you can turn the soil, loosening weeds, up to 6-8 inches deep. Yes, it does require some upper body strength and a fairly good grip, but it is not fatiguing.

I am thinking about getting one for my brother-in-law for Christmas.

This did exactly what it is supposed to do. It dug in firmly and tore up the dirt with ease. The height of the handle was also nice as it was short enough to be able to easily add downward pressure. Very nice product.
