I've got an older house with a lot of cracks in the sidewalk and this thing is excellent for removing them. A string trimmer is such a mess at cracks and this thing does excellent at actually removing the weeds well from the cracks. The handle is nice, solid wood, and the metal blade works very well at th task. I'm a big fan.

It is sharp. It looked sharp so I ran my finger along it and got a "paper cut".... Once you figure out the angle to use it at and develop a bit of a rhythm (took me a few minutes) this makes quick work of certain garden projects. It worked great on flat/hard/compact ground that you hate to weed. Soft dirt would be ok, but you wouldn't want to drive too deep. 10 sq feet about 20 minutes including raking up. Normally that would be 90 minutes with a shovel. I also used it to get moss off bricks, but it wasn't great with weeds that come up between bricks if they weren't completely level. I like using it to clear slats in deck, Overall it is a good tool to have at your disposal and a real time saver in many instances.

I'm only two hours into this thing. There is a learning curve, but a happy one. If you have an electric weed wacker, you know you can always shred a lot of fishing line to get these weeds at the risk of flinging gravel into someone's eye. This is more fun and meditative--you have to choose your attack angle carefully and it's asymetrical for right-handed use. There's a Tom Sawyer effect--people watching you weed will grab the tool from you to show you how it's done. At first, I didn't understand why the stainless steel blade was wavy. It allows the metal to be very thin and sharp, while the overall blade is strong but flexible. The wavy edge seems to reduce friction when scraping at a low angle, bouncing over tiny gravel rather than catching on everything it meets. Where the road meets the curb, the overall thickness prevents it from dropping into and binding in the crevice so easily. It also seems to sharpen itself in use. One caution--if you are weeding where someone has applied asphalt crack filler that stays flexible in hot weather, this may slice into it. Very nice handle. The whole tool is made in Japan. ***************** EDIT...I was Prime Day surfing and this deserves a look: "3-in-1 Crack Weeder & Moss Remover Brush" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DHKW186M/ The working end is a thin talon-shaped knife for scraping between pavers and the back holds a metal-bristle scrub brush. The bristles are angled to inward to clear out wider cracks, sweep loose debris, or attack surface moss.

the greatest thing ever invented! you don't have to break your back weeding off of concrete. this tool really works in a snap. just do a jerking motion and use common sense of the direction and you'll see how fast and easy it is. it's got a little weight to it because of the wood handle, but i think it's necessary for leverage. the entire tool is sturdy and well-made. the blade is a rippled, japan made, stainless steel which makes lifting the weeds up easy. no corners were cut in quality. it's worth every penny.

Was severely excited and ordered to have for Spring. Spring came and this item did not work on any any like situations shown in the video. Did not cut ..scrape or move anything ..just rolls right over the top of everything. Total waste of my money and it was too late to return.

I used this tool on my driveway, sidewalk, and pavers. It worked well. I'm 5'2 and feel like the handle is a good length. It's lightweight without feeling flimsy. One corner did bend a bit. It's still useable, but it does make me wonder how long it will last. My big disappointment is the lack of replacement blades. One of the reasons I bought it was because I thought the blade could be swapped out. It seems like it's possible but I can't find a replacement blade anywhere online. If I have to buy a whole new tool when the blade is worn out, I'd say it's not really a good value.

Love it good pole height. Sturdy. Sharp. Blade fits good in between bricks for stubborn weeds and awesome for scraping weeds away. It will cut your work time more then half!

I bought this 5 years ago here and have found it fairly useless for weeding sidewalk cracks as I originally intended it to be used, but it has had an illustrious second life as the absolute perfect tool for breaking up ice and sleet on sidewalks in winter when a shovel just can't do it. Can't recommend it highly enough for that purpose.
