Draper 85632 Digging Hoe , Black

Product Information

Long handles allow you to stand in the proper upright ergonomic position while you dig, cultivate, or weed.

Its narrow blade head makes it easy to get to all those weeds located in tricky spots and between plants.The depth of cut achieved with this tool largely depends on how deeply or lightly you move it through the earth. Used standing upright, a Dutch hoe has a sharp, wide and open blade that skims just below the surface of the soil to sever weeds from their roots. This digging hoe from Draper is heavy-duty and well-balanced which is easy-to-use yet sharp enough to cut through tree roots and thick turf. Other styles include Cultivating Hoes which have tines that penetrate downward into bare soil then till, stir, loosen, or aerate it.

We like these low-impact weeders because they are capable of removing weeds under and around low-lying crops without destroying them.They are the most versatile tool on this list, capable of shaping growing plants, mixing up concrete, slashing overgrown weeds, and performing a slew of weeding tasks. The hand-forged blade of the Sneeboer Royal Dutch Hoe has sharp teeth and cut effortlessly throughout our testing. The sharp carbon-steel blade is narrow enough for small gaps between plants and has a clean cutting action. The robust head is light yet sharp and the smooth hardwood handle helps deliver a well-balanced hoe, perfect when removing roots and vegetation. A draw hoe primarily uses a chopping action to break apart clumps of soil from harder ground or loosen weeds to ensure quick removal.
