CobraHead® Mini Weeder & Cultivator Garden Hand Tool - Forged Steel Blade - Recycled Plastic Handle - Ergonomically Designed for Digging, Edging & Planting - Perfect for Small Gardening Jobs

I love to buy garden tools, but I'm usually disappointed. I do a ton of research before I buy anything, but I often don't get the results I expected based on other Amazon reviews and a lot of YouTube videos.I got this yesterday and immediately put it to work on a number of large, heavily-overgrown beds and an overgrown flagstone path. Up till then, I'd been working on the same areas with a regular cheap weeder, basically a metal stick with a tiny dull fork at the end, and a number of other tools (spade, shovel, secateurs, Weed Zinger). I'm dedicated to removing roots and all, so clearing just a few square feet took quite a while.The Cobra Head made short work of the same square footage. Today, I used it like a spade to clear out groundcover in strips, roots and all. I also used it to remove 2' weed trees by spiking the point underneath the crowns and twisting it around. Then I used it like a stirrup hoe to eradicate a ton of tiny new weeds from a previously-weeded bed. In two hours, I cleared a large area that was completely overrun with weeds, aggressive plants, and large weed trees using only this tool and a Radius Perennial Slayer shovel (https://www.amazon.com/Radius-Garden-23311-Slayer-Perennial/dp/B07MGJ1JT1/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=radius+perennial+slayer&qid=1562951349&s=hi&sr=1-2). The Cobra Head seems extremely sturdy and it's comfortable to use. I'm thrilled with it.

I have the larger version of this as well and I love them both. Outstanding quality. Makes digging up weeds so much easier. I wish I had found these long ago. An avid gardener friend recommended them to me. You won't be sorry if you purchase this, as well as the larger one.

I'm a convert! I read with some skepticism the glowing reviews of this type of weeder, but since I had lots of tiny but firmly-embedded weeds to clear around my peonies, decided to give this a try. Ordered the "mini" because I was going to be using it in tight quarters. The monsoons started around the time my weeder arrived, and by the time rains stopped and the ground dried up enough to permit me to get to work, the "tiny" weeds (and their brothers, sisters, cousins) were shoulder-high! Not to worry, in another garden, I had plenty of crabgrass to clear. This little weeder handled them like a champ - and this alone makes it a worthwhile addition to the gardening toolbox. I finally screwed up my courage to tackle the weeds that, by now, completely obscured my peonies. In order to get to the peonies, I needed to clear an area where the rocks in the soil made shovel and digging fork unworkable. So despite the fact that this tool was laughably small compared to the weeds needing to be removed, I gave it a try. Lo and behold, it again performed like a champ! It's small size enabled it to find gaps between the rocks and made short work of lifting out huge weeds, root and all. There are some weeding chores for which other tools are preferable, but if I had to choose just one weeding tool, this would be it.

This tool maybe small in stature but will micro manage the removal of weeds within planting beds very efficiently. Can also be used to dig in and/or thin out transplants/replacements. The cobra head is at an optimum angle to easily pass through the soil with little effort. The neck has no give to it and the handle is super comfortable and easy to grip. The edge of the well designed head can be sharpened so this tool can be used for different weeding techniques. The handle has a strap to use around ones wrist to retrieve if dropped to free up hands to manually pick up removed debris. This tool fits easily in your pocket. It is sharp so handle with care. I now plan to order the original Cobra, long handle offering. I think this is a keeper, a go to garden tool.

I got the mini CobraHead hand tool and love it. I tried it out in the flower border against crabgrass. it can hook right under the root mass and you can use it to help pull it out. Now who's stronger!!!!!

Have not had a chance to use this but feels nice in the hand and the size is perfect for my small garden.Update: was perfect tool to use when it came time to pull my garlic and shallots

I have purchased two of these and I love them dearly. The only reason I had to purchase a second one is because "somone" put the first tool somewhere safe and now can't find where it was placed. (Yes, I confess, that somone was me. Sigh)This tool makes weeding flower beds with perennials and bulbs so much easier. The little head gets into the tightest crevices. The Mini is perfect for my hand size which is a standard medium in gloves. The regular size looks good for larger handed persons but I am glad I went small. I use this to plant garden plants, and weed small rows easily and quickly. If you have any gardening to do this is the tool for your. Like I said I have purchased two now and if this one gets lost I will probably buy a third I like it so much.The only problem I had I when I didn't use gloves I did develop blisters and calluses. Not unexpected with any hand tool used as much as I use this one.

Now I can get the grass and weeds close to my garden plants and also around tomato cages. It works pretty well for turning it sideways and removing grass/weeds with the side of the cobra head.
