About this product
How the Hand Grub Hoe works
A grub hoe is a working hoe, not a garden ornament. Its broad head swings down like an axe to chop old stems and roots, and then pulls back to drag the cut material and loosened soil toward you.
The head is forged from a single piece of steel, black on the body with a bright polished edge where it cuts. The weight of the head does a good share of the work, so a tired worker still gets a deep bite with each stroke.
It is fitted to a hardwood handle through a socket, which keeps the head tight in use. Hoes like this are used in clearing new plots, preparing channels, earthing up and cutting back rank growth at field edges.
Before you buy the Hand Grub Hoe
A grub hoe is the heavy hitter for tough weeds, roots and compacted soil. Its broad forged head moves a lot of earth in a stroke. It suits rural plots and land clearing, where lighter hoes would bend or skip across the ground.
