## Description

Alcotana Axe Shovel, with Handle

Review: The best weeding tool - This is really the hoe you need if you want to scalp a lawn or a thick carpet of grass or crabgrass. I also use a larger grubbing hoe but this is surprisingly just as efficient if you're ok with bending over. I didn't think I'd need the notches but they are surprisingly good at catching and pulling crabgrass roots. Surprisingly, this is also great at at destroying random weeds with a chopping motion of the hoe if you don't want to bother pulling up by the root. This is really the best weeding tool out there, IMO: - It is much higher quality and less expensive than the other hand-held grubbing hoes out there in terms of appearance and finish. - The axe part gives the hoe a nice weight which makes scalping or hoeing a lot easier. I appreciate the design even though I rarely use the axe. - This is better than a stirrup hoe for getting rid of grasses, as the weight lets you really get under the main root part rather than repeated passes. You might still need a soil knife for deep tap roots. Like most gardeners, I have about a dozen different weeders. I use this along with a soil knife for everything. Bonus points for being so elegant as well.
Review: I’m buying a second one !!! - This tool is truly a work of German craftsmanship and NOT A CHINESE P.O.S. ! IT COMES FACTORY SHARP SO BE CAREFUL and it has so heft to it so it really digs in deep when weeding with very little effort. I initially got it for my wife after getting frustrated with the junky versions that she kept buying... “because they are cheaper “ ... when in reality they were nothing but a complete waste of money ! I have also shown it to some of my buddies telling them that I will be buying another one to add to my Bush-crafting kit and they all agreed that it was a quality tool and asked me to order them some when I order mine next month. The only thing that would make it better would be a protected sheath for the sharp ends as well as for strapping to a pack , like a mini version of the mining pick from the movie SISU !!! Hahahahaha

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Lawn and Garden Hand Tool
*by H***R on March 3, 2025*

Sturdy and sharpe. The “digging” blade is wide enough to improve functionality over some models I have seen with a more narrow blade. The only reason I didn’t give it a 5 is that I think the handle, though sturdy, could have been a couple of inches longer.
