Hoopoe Hoe Cutter Mattock with Oval Hoe Blade - 4lbs

This tool, known in Germany as a "hoopoe hoe" for its resemblance to the Hoopoe bird, is similar to a typical cutter mattock made of special steel and was forged in one piece. It consists of an oval blade on one side and a sharp ax on the opposite side. This dual-function tool has proven itself for decades in the home gardens of passionate hobby and professional gardeners as well as in forestry operations.

UNIVERSAL APPLICATION

The dual-function tool with an oval blade is intended for clearing, planting and transplanting and is universally intended for gardening.

The hoopoe hoe is by far the most powerful manual tool. It is ideal for digging up stony, hard soil and even thicker roots can be removed with ease with the forestry hoe. The hoopoe hoe can also be used as a planting hoe in forestry. By hitting the ground with the oval side of the leaf, the upper layer of soil can be raised, for example to plant a tree sapling. Thanks to the sharpened hatchet, felling a tree or chopping firewood is also child's play with this multifunctional tool. The 105 cm long ash handle ensures optimal power transmission.

GRADE 1-A ASH WOOD HANDLE WITH HANGING HOLE

The finely machined, robust ash handle is particularly comfortable to hold. Specially designed for optimal force distribution, the hoopoe hoe proves to be an ideal helper for ergonomic work in horticulture and forestry. The hoe handle has a practical hanging hole, which means the hoe can be stored in the garden tool shed to save space. Our hoe handles come exclusively from resource-saving forestry and are PEFC certified.
