AMES 2917000 Steel Tine Garden Cultivator with Aluminum Handle, 58-Inch

I liked the way the product fit in my hand. It was easy to use and just what I needed!

The arms that hold the tine wheels are just cheaply-made cast aluminum or something. They crack right in half. And I wasn't using it for anything heavy, just scratching up the dirt on bare patches of lawn to plant grass seed. I also have to say customer service at Ames seems to be nonexistent. They say that their tools are guaranteed, but what good is a guarantee if they ignore you when you try and get a replacement part?

This cultivator loosens the soil some maybe a little faster than a hoe. It does nothing to get rid of the weeds. I will have to go back over it again with a hoe so what have I accomplished?? It has a nice handle and seems sturdy enough. Was expecting a better product from Ames since they do make other quality garden products. I wouldn't buy again knowing what I know now, Gave it three stars because the handle is good and it does loosen the soil some.

I used this cultivator a few times to loosen top soil and till the lawn for reseeding. Unfortunately a tine broke and I can't find a replacements to buy. Would not buy again.

the product works properly and does what is expected. But, if you have mug or leaves, they get stuck in it :( ..overral it works and it is good

Plastic snapped after a year of light use.

This item broke the first time I used it, the shaft is solid but teeth housing is cheaply made.

It took 2 or 3 years, but in normal light use, the casting which holds the rotating tines snapped in half. Looks like they used a cheap alloy instead of a stronger metal. Junk.
