This hoe, with its flat blalde, cuts off all weeds in its sweep. Other hoes can skip weeds as they pass between the times or as the chopping motion skips over them. This hoe also works on both the forward and backward motion and the lack of lifting during use makes it faster and easier to use.

Great for weed and/or grass removal from your garden. It doesn't move too much dirt, just gets the weed from the root. Priced comparatively with other stores. Well made. Too bad it doen't include a gardener! :)

thebigsee says "Amusingly named yet highly effective garden tool!" about Craftsman Heavy Duty Action Hoe

I have 2 large planters that I need to keep clear of weeds, particularly in Spring when they really pop up and I have to get out there once a week to keep on-top of them. For many years I've used a standard hoe to take care of the weeds but I've always felt there could be a more efficient and effective way to do it. I saw a gardener using one of these so-called "action hoes" and so I tracked one down at Sears and gave this hoe a go!

Far more effective and fast than using a standard hoe, this tool can work both on push and pull (though I found it did more while pushing rather than pulling). I thought it would scrape the weeds off the top of the soil but the blade actually goes about 2" under the soil and does a pretty solid job of getting all the root out with one pass. It actually cultivates and lifts the soil instead of chopping it up with a standard hoe. It's also much more maneuverable and can get into hard-to-reach places with ease.

So, buy with confidence. And make sure...
