Midi Grubber Hoe

(1 customer review)

The flagship of our midi tool range, the grubber hoe is the perfect all rounder for your garden – it digs, hacks, weeds, scrapes, spreads and loosens all with an easy flick of the wrist. The blade is relentless in getting in deep, the claw breaks and aerates the soil, and the smooth midi handle gives you precision without sacrificing power. It’s like ninja tool for topsoil, and probably also your best friend in a zombie apocalypse!

Description

The Retool Midi Tools

Our midi tool range was born out of a need to provide a package of locally made, durable yet light tools that fill a variety of functions in a food growing setting, but that also serve a purpose for regular gardeners.

The 60cm handles ensure the tools are compact, light and portable, but also give that extra reach and leverage often not afforded by small hand trowels and weeding tools.

We also intend the longer handles on the midi range to help make gardening more accessible to differently abled people, particularly for wheelchair users on raised beds.

Specs

  • 0.6kg total weight
  • 60cm total length,
  • ~30mm shaped eucalyptus saligna handle, sealed with ProNature plant-oil wood sealant
  • 100mm long x 3mm steel plate / 100mm long x 8mm round bar
  • Double e-coat-powder coat protective layering

Applications and How to Use

Hold the grubber hoe at the slightly narrow section toward the back of the handle. The blade side is an effective digger and perfect for opening up holes for planting seedlings and also works surprisingly well in getting through lawn grass or other similar matted or spongy soil coverings. The clawed side is great for loosening top soil, spreading compost and more.

Ergonomics

We purposefully added a handle slightly longer than is common on these types of tools, allowing extra reach and power. The handle length is also perfect for tending to raised beds without having to bend down too much – perfect for elderly or differently abled people.

Care and Maintenance

Always remove excess soil residue after use and store in a dry place. The handle can be oiled every six months or so with Pronature sealant, linseed oil, beeswax, or any other naturally wood sealant.
