Corona Premium Stainless Steel ComfortGEL Cultivator

I used this to scoop up loose dirt in a hole. Much faster than a flat trowel. I thought it a little expensive, but this is a good brand.

I ordered both the fork and the spade, and both seem to be excellent quality.

Sturdy and easy to use

A neighbour lent me this sturdy garden tool and I was impressed with how helpful it was. It is especially good when extracting weeds from the edge of the sidewalk. Had to have my own and very pleased with the ordering process.

Unlike so many other things these days, this scoop is high quality and very sturdy without being unnecessarily heavy. I like the design of the scoop itself, as it truly is squared so that whatever you use it for isn’t as likely to flow over the sides like some others. The handle is sturdy and fits well into my hand (I’m a female with average size hands). I will be using it for scooping both potting soil out of the bag, and sand at the beach to weight down my beach cover. For some reason, stores here don’t seem to carry scoops like this.

The only drawback is that the handle is rubber. Here in FL, that’s a real problem. Rubber handles and such go bad and get sticky even inside an air conditioned house, within just a few months. To avoid this, I put a piece of plumbing insulation over it (like what is used for a/c condenser pipes outside). It makes the handle a bit thicker, but still manageable. I wish they didn’t use rubber handles on so many things!

It worked very well for a month and then bent. Not fit for purpose. Not able to return after a month! Eventually worked out how to speak to someone and return arranged.
