Hoe AWTools AW00313 — garden hand hoe, weight 800 g

AWTools AW00313 — garden hand hoe, weight 800 g is a compact multi-function hand hoe designed for soil cultivation, weeding and preparing small beds. The tool features a double-sided steel head with a powder-coated finish attached to a sleeve and a smoothly ground wooden shaft for a secure grip. One side of the head serves as a digging hoe, the opposite side has sharp, pointed corners for marking sowing rows and a three-tined fork useful for loosening tougher soil. The tool is manufactured in Poland and intended for light to medium gardening work in home gardens, allotments and container planting.

Advantages

The double-sided head combines a digging hoe, sharp corners for precise row marking and a three-tined fork, enabling several tasks with a single hand tool. A powder-coated steel head provides corrosion resistance and durability under normal garden conditions, while the wooden shaft offers a comfortable, slip-resistant grip and tactile feedback during use. At 800 g the tool is lightweight enough for extended use but robust for working compacted or slightly stony soil.

Suitable for

• Loosening and aerating soil in small beds and borders
• Weeding between plants and in tight spaces
• Marking rows for sowing with pointed corners
• Preparing planting holes and shallow digging
• Working in allotments, home gardens and container planting

How to use

Usage recommendations

Before first use, check the tightness of the head-sleeve connection and wipe any protective oil from the head if present. After use, remove soil residues and dry the metal parts; apply a light coat of oil to the steel head to prevent corrosion during storage. Store the hoe in a dry place away from direct moisture and inspect the wooden shaft periodically for cracks or splinters.
