Customer Reviews for Ames 2-Prong Weeder Hoe

The 2-prong weeder hoe metallic end started bending after one use. Though I had softened the soil with some water, this tool apparently was not designed for soil that hasn’t already been tilled up or loosened up. I was a little disappointed by its durability because now I’m going to have to use a shovel or something else.

The head came loose so I returned it the next day. It's held by a single rivet that once loose cannot be tightened again. That rivet takes a lot of stress with a tool that's literally designed to chip, dig, and move earth.

weak hoe attachment to handle bends easily

Weak tool is not recommended for backyard.

Great for digging holes for plants and weeding.

The metal is not very strong. The head started to bend when trying to break up some agave roots.

Solid hoe and 2 prong works well to tear up ground

My new favorite garden tool. The pronged end is great at breaking up the soil around weeds and uprooting smaller weeds. It's not really designed to pull larger weeds out but definitely makes them easier to remove. The flat end serves as an axe for chopping deep roots. The cushioned grip is comfortable and hasn't slid off. A solid tool. I'm glad I bought it.

Tried using it to pull the roots of vines from the ground and the head bent on the first try. Not strong enough for the work I was asking it to do.

Broke on day 1. I am over 60 and can barely lift a cement block. I broke the neck on a clot of grass. Many stores carry the same junk with a different name. Ames manufacturing.

Substantial tool, good heft to it, seems like it should last. Chops right through weeds

Weak tools, bending due to thin thickness of metal.

Great product for working in the garden.

works ok on light ground cover and small weeds.

The hoe is good for light work, like in cultivated beds or loosening up mulch. It is not good to use where there are lots of roots, 1/2" or bigger. Mine got bent out of shape and is weakened by this. Expected more for the price.

bending on rigorous work

Love that this was made in the USA!

excellent tool . needed long handles hoe to rip out weeds and old stuff from beds....love the two prongs on the opposite side. so easy to use. yup great tool.

Great item to get all my gardening done fast and quick.

The blade fell off during first use. Reconnected it and then had to be gentle with it. Thinkng about returning and getting one thats heavy duty.
